It's not worth the tag. My last corporate dealings with F-Secure and the
actual code authors, ssh.com, involved every single machine with an sshd on
it needing a $500 license as you describe for over 500 machines.
For that kind of cash, I can buy entire rack-mount servers with SCSI disk
and dual-CPU's at dotcom firesales. So I put in OpenSSH, and the users there
have never regretted it.
I don't agree with all of the design decisions of the OpenSSH authors, but
the ssh.com team stapling in a shell script for user logins to summon the
"chroot" command and calling it a "chroot jail" is like my gluing fins on a
gerbil and calling it a glider....
