  • "Be careful with your consumption, especially when you are testing things. Costs can creep up on you relatively fast, without even noticing."

  • "It is decently priced. The competition is also bringing its own cloud offerings, such as from Oracle."
  • "When we shifted the load to AWS we paid a high cost as the mail stores were hosted on EBS. The storage cost drastically reduced after moving to S3."
  • "If you can plan capacity for one or three years, you can use the upfront payment option which allows you to save up to 50%."
  • "One of the best thing in Amazon AWS is you are billed for the service you use."
  • "We are reducing costs year-over-year."
  • "Much faster than other solutions at a super low cost."
  • More Amazon AWS Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Pricing for providers is revenue-shared based. Providers should invest in hardware to set up the Jelastic cluster."
  • "I would rate the cost 3 out of 5. There are additional costs other than licensing fees."
