Deployment Estimate

The Estimate link is available on the Deployment page after you select a device, a policy, or a configuration. Click the Estimate link to get an estimate of the deployment duration. The time duration is a rough estimate (having around 70% accuracy), and the actual time taken for deployment may vary for a few scenarios. Refer to the deployment duration estimate for deployments to a few threat defenses. The estimate is dependable for deployments of up to 20 threat defense devices.

When an estimate is not available, it indicates that the data is not available, since the first successful deployment on the selected device is pending. This situation could occur after the management center version upgrade or after a fresh installation.

Note	The estimate is incorrect and unreliable for bulk policy changes (in case of bulk policy migrations), and selective deployments because the estimate is based on the heuristic technique.
