What kinds of results did it generate?

A healthy amount of data that looked like PII based on data range, potential secrets in buckets, CSVs, JSONs, Cloudtrail dumps, but also generated reports on dummy data and without fingerprinting of the live data, it wouldn't know what's real or not. The Cloudtrail feature is also useful since it provides user behavior analytics, based on use, etc.

The CT stuff looks interesting, since it's inexpensive, and the other monitoring thing Amazon does (GuardDuty?) is expensive.

It's $4 per 1-million API calls processed. And starts at $1 per GB of logs processed.

Which pricing dimension is of concern?
