There is no licensing at all. We have to pay for it as we use it. On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a seven or eight out of ten.

I rate the product price a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is high price, and ten is low price. I recommend people check for the services that run in the AWS WAF account. Each service that uses AWS will need the user to pay for some costs. Most of the people who use the solution are not able to understand the number of services that are running in the product. Even though there is a feature to help understand top-level management, people fail to figure out the number of services that are running in the product.

The pricing totally depends on the number of requests entering the WAF. For example, in case we have a DDoS type of attack, at that time, the price will surge quickly. For example, it will go up to two hundred dollars within three to four days. So it totally depends on the number of requests it is processing. There are additional costs to the standard license because it totally depends on the number of incoming requests.

There are no separate licensing costs we pay for since it is included in the plan we purchase.

The solution is really expensive. I would give it a ten out of ten in terms of costliness. You have to pay additionally for data transfer.

Its price is fair. There is a very fair amount that they charge. It has a pay-as-you-go model, so it pretty much depends on how much a user uses it. As per the cloud norms, the more you use, the more you pay. I would rate it a five out of ten in terms of pricing.

For our infrastructure, we probably pay around $16,000 per month for AWS WAF. Because alternative WAF solutions provide even more features, I think the AWS WAF is a bit pricey

We have a medium amount of traffic per month and the cost is in the hundreds rather than in the thousands. I don't know the exact number.

The price of AWS WAF is expensive if you do not know how to manage your software up or down. I price of the solution is average amongst the other competitors but it would be better if it was less expensive.

You need an additional AWS subscription for this product if you are buying a managed tool.

AWS WAF is pay-as-you-go, I only pay for what I'm using. There is no subscription or any payment upfront, I can terminate use at any time. Which is an advantage.

It's quite affordable. It's in the middle. Everything is included with the usage that you take up when you implement the service.

We are kind of doing a POC comparison to see what works best. Pricing-wise, AWS is one of the most attractive ones. It is fairly cheap, and we like the pricing part. We're trying to see what makes more sense operation-wise, license-wise, and pricing-wise.

The licensing costs are variable. For me, it is under a hundred dollars a month. The range of your costs with Amazon Web Services is going to be different depending on a lot of factors. It can go as low as actually being free all the way up to millions of dollars. It depends on the organization and how the service is used.

As far as pricing considerations, there are other competitors to consider. All the solutions are not easy and all will not do exactly the same thing or even what you need. SecureSphere is expensive, I think $20,000 per year. If you go for ManageEngine or any other solution, they also go for close to $10,000. It depends on how many applications you are running and how many servers you have. They can easily run into close to $10,000 a year. Database security and application security are generally costly solutions. AWS is not that costly by comparison. They are maybe close to $40 per month. I think it was between $29 or $39.

There are two versions of the solution available, one of which is free, which is the version we use, so we don't pay for anything.
