Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for each running EC2 instance that scans your files. The many dimensions here are simply the supported instance types across families like t3, t3a, m4, m5, m5a, m6a, m6i, m7a, m7i, c5, c5a, c6a, c6i, c7a, and c7i, in sizes from medium to 48xlarge. Larger instances raise throughput but cost more per hour. You only pay while instances run. Uninstalling stops the charge. You control cost by choosing the instance type and the number of instances. Standard AWS charges for storage, queues, and API calls apply separately.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
Each dimension is a specific EC2 instance type that scans your files. You pay the hourly fee only while that instance runs. The auto-scaling default launches one m6i.large instance. Charges stop when instances stop. Uninstalling the software ends the software charge entirely.
You also pay standard AWS charges for EBS, SNS, SQS, and CloudWatch. AWS bills every S3 API call, such as GetObject and PutObjectTagging, plus a monthly fee for each object tag. These charges appear separately from the hourly software fee shown here.
You can reduce cost in small or development environments by switching to a t3 or t3a instance type. To raise scanning throughput, choose a larger instance type or increase the maximum number of instances. Each running instance adds its hourly fee to your bill.

CloudFormation Template (CFT)
AWS CloudFormation templates are JSON or YAML-formatted text files that simplify provisioning and management on AWS. The templates describe the service or application architecture you want to deploy, and AWS CloudFormation uses those templates to provision and configure the required services (such as Amazon EC2 instances or Amazon RDS DB instances). The deployed application and associated resources are called a "stack."

Added automated malware scanning has strengthened document security and reduces manual checks
Reviewed on Jul 06, 2026
Review from a verified AWS customer
What is our primary use case?
BucketAV grants us an additional security layer in case any of our userbase uploads malware.
How has it helped my organization?
BucketAV has provided an additional layer of protection for our S3-based document storage by automatically scanning uploaded files for malware before they are processed by downstream applications.
It has helped strengthen our security posture without requiring significant operational overhead. Deployment through CloudFormation was straightforward, and once configured, the service has been reliable.
I also appreciate that it integrates well with AWS services and follows an event-driven architecture.
What is most valuable?
Real-time scanning of newly uploaded S3 objects provides immediate protection against malicious files. It also requires low operational maintenance once deployed.
What needs improvement?
There is a need for better dashboards showing scan progress, throughput, and estimated completion time.
More detailed cost visibility is required to understand the impact of scheduled scans.
Native alerting integrations for Microsoft Teams and additional notification options would be beneficial.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have used it for 1 year.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
BucketAV was our first malware scanning solution for Amazon S3.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The pricing is reasonable for the security benefits it provides.
Just be mindful of AWS infrastructure and operational costs, especially when scanning large S3 buckets.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
The team responsible for the original product evaluation has since left the organization.
What other advice do I have?
I've found BucketAV to be a dependable addition to our AWS security controls.
The support team has also been responsive whenever we've had questions.
With improved observability and enhanced support for large enterprise workloads, it would be an excellent solution for organizations of all sizes.
If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?
Amazon Web Services (AWS)

Secure file scanning has supported privacy compliance while pricing still needs improvement
Reviewed on Jun 30, 2026
Review from a verified AWS customer
What is our primary use case?
We use BucketAV for scanning S3 objects for potential malware and viruses.
How has it helped my organization?
BucketAV has helped our organization by assisting with privacy compliance when handling highly sensitive data.
What is most valuable?
The ease of set-up and configuration are valuable. The ability to scan S3 objects on upload and quarantine files if appropriate is very useful since it allows us to have a compliant architecture. In addition, the support from the BucketAV team has been quick and reliable. I trust that we can rely on this product for future maintenance.
What needs improvement?
The pricing is a little high. We still need to evaluate if pricing is acceptable once we start scanning more objects.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using the solution for 3 weeks.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We did not use a different product before BucketAV.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The pricing is competitive, but I wish it was a little cheaper.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
We evaluated Cloud Storage Security.
What other advice do I have?
I don't have additional comments.

Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
VirusScan for Amazon S3 is the best scanning application that can be used to submit files with code for scanning.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing much as it uses clamAv for scanning, but seems to do the job.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Super easy to setup and integrates well with other services. We use it with SQSto notify our application of a hit to keep everything up to date.

Scalable, flexible solution for running anti-virus scans at scale. We ran about 1M scans in the last few weeks, no issues.
Some highlights
- this truly is single-click-to-deploy. Whereas many marketplace solutions often require extensive outside configuration, this one is extremely easy to set up and doesn't hang or cause other issues
- great documentation
- flexibility to create whatever sort of queue-based, notification-based workflows you might want or need to support (ex. send to slack, send to webhook via SNS, etc)
- continues to be updated regularly
