AWS Marketplace now accepts line of credit payments through the PNC Vendor Finance program. This program is available to select AWS customers in the US, excluding NV, NC, ND, TN, & VT.
Pricing is based on the duration and terms of your contract with the vendor, and additional usage. You pay upfront or in installments according to your contract terms with the vendor. This entitles you to a specified quantity of use for the contract duration. Usage-based pricing is in effect for overages or additional usage not covered in the contract. These charges are applied on top of the contract price. If you choose not to renew or replace your contract before the contract end date, access to your entitlements will expire.
Additional AWS infrastructure costs may apply. Use the AWS Pricing Calculator to estimate your infrastructure costs.
This is a contract-based listing with two pricing dimensions. The first dimension bills by the number of AWS accounts monitored by marbot, charged per hour. Your cost scales with how many accounts you connect. The second dimension covers Incident Management as a separate unit. Together, these let you pay for account monitoring coverage and incident handling. The account-based dimension grows with your usage, while the Incident Management dimension is billed on its own.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What counts as one AWS account for the account monitoring dimension?
Each AWS account you connect to marbot counts as one monitored account. The service watches events from that account and sends alerts to your chat channel. Adding more accounts increases the count. Billing runs per hour for every account under monitoring.
How do the two dimensions combine on my bill?
The two dimensions bill independently and appear on the same invoice. The account monitoring dimension meters per hour and scales with how many AWS accounts you connect. The Incident Management dimension is billed as its own unit. Together they cover monitoring coverage and incident handling.
What does marbot monitor across my AWS accounts?
marbot sends alerts for many AWS services, including CloudWatch alarms, AWS Health events, Security Hub findings, GuardDuty and Inspector findings, EC2 Auto Scaling issues, Elastic Beanstalk, Fargate Spot, RDS, and EBS events. Alerts arrive in your chat channel so your team can respond.

Faced urgent monitoring limits but have achieved faster real-time collaboration in chat

Review from a verified AWS customer
What is our primary use case?
widdix marbot's main use case for our organization is AWS monitoring for Slack. Our team lives in Slack, where we all talk about things, and the fact that it dumps AWS health notifications right into our Slack where we can all immediately begin discussing them is better than sending them to some other channel such as SNS or text messages or emails. Usually, health issues need to be resolved in a very urgent manner, and one day I think we'll be on PagerDuty, but until that day, we just all respond immediately in Slack.
I prefer having those AWS health notifications in Slack over other channels like email or SMS because email chat is less real-time, and often when you see a health notification come through, you need to be talking in real-time. It needs to be as fast as you can type: "Hey, you just put out a change, didn't you? Oh, look at this. This is happening. Is this your change? Okay, let's hop on, let's roll back."
What is most valuable?
widdix marbot offers one main feature that is truly valuable: tightly syncing your AWS health to your Slack. I don't think it has lots of bells and whistles. It does one thing, and it does it well.
The tight syncing of AWS health to Slack is so valuable for my organization because of collaboration and speed. widdix marbot has positively impacted my organization as our systems almost never have downtime longer than two or three minutes.
What needs improvement?
