Gotchas - check before you buy

high

Pricing is usage-based and unpublished; expect bill growth as synced volume rises.

medium

Contracts priced via sales or AWS Marketplace, not a public calculator.

medium

Support quality described as mixed in third-party comparisons.

medium

Guess: migrating many managed connectors to another tool later is slow and manual.
