(Azure Firewall is cost effective.)
Azure Firewall pricing includes a fixed hourly cost ($1.25/firewall/hour) and a variable per GB processed cost to support auto scaling. Based on our observation, most customers save 30 percent - 50 percent in comparison to an NVA deployment model. We are announcing a price reduction, effective May 1, 2019, for the firewall per GB cost to $0.016/GB (-46.6 percent) to ensure that high throughput customers maintain cost effectiveness. There is no change to the fixed hourly cost.
