For business and maybe enterprise, the Windows IAS is good.  I don't
think any service provider would even consider it because it has nothing
more than basic authentication functionality.

And yes, Funk RADIUS is really that expensive.  The base model is around
$5,000 a license (perhaps the enterprise), but I know they have another
license (maybe service provider) that's about $25,000 per license.  It's
been while but I remember it being in that range, I reluctantly had to
purchase it for a set of servers about six years ago.
