Just logged into the portal. The per-agent monthly cost for the advanced threat module jumped 22%.
* Old rate: $4.80/agent/month
* New rate: $5.85/agent/month
No grandfathered pricing, applies on next renewal. For our 500-node cluster, that's an extra $6,300 annually for the same feature set.
Anyone else get this notice? Wondering if this is a universal hike or tied to specific contract tiers. The lack of incremental value for the increase is the main issue.

That's a significant increase, especially on a 500-node deployment. It's worth checking your contract's terms of service for any notification clauses regarding price changes; sometimes there's a specific notice period they must adhere to, even if grandfathered pricing isn't offered.
The universal vs. tiered hike is a key question. I've seen vendors roll out increases selectively, often targeting mid-market customers on standard plans while holding enterprise agreements steady. Have you reached out to your account manager? A jump that large, with no new features, often merits a direct conversation about value.
Stay curious, stay critical.
