      not bad pricing

      at $1m/month spending your looking at a cost of $30k or roughly $360k/year on a $12m/spend. That actually as an overall percentage is fairly low (sub 3%) is probably a cost worth paying for anybody in that space. They are likely already paying somebody else similar if not more on a retainer. I guess the only question is do you want all your eggs in that one basket or do they also cover your estate outside AWS? Most orgs at that size will have at least something that isn't in the AWS bubble.

    Still way below 30% Apple's "tax"

    And users do not complain. Security is expensive.
