Dimensions summary
Spot by NetApp's pricing dimensions on AWS Marketplace reflect different optimization strategies for cloud resource management. There are two main dimensions; Savings and vCPU. Savings is a dimension based on cost savings achieved through reserved commitment management or Spot Instance usage. It is charged as a percentage of savings. vCPU is a usage-based dimension, measured in 100 vCPU hour increments. They are differentiated between on-demand/reserved instances and Spot/preemptible instances, allowing customers to pay based on their actual compute consumption patterns.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers like you
How does Spot.io calculate the savings-based pricing dimensions?
Spot.io's savings-based pricing is calculated as a percentage of the actual cost savings achieved through their optimization strategies. This includes savings from optimizing reserved commitments or using Spot Instances, where you pay only a portion of the demonstrated cost reduction.
What does the vCPU hours pricing dimension cover?
The vCPU hours pricing applies to the actual compute resources consumed, measured in 100-hour increments. Different rates apply depending on whether you're using On-Demand/Reserved Instances or Spot/Preemptible instances, allowing for transparent usage-based billing aligned with your infrastructure choices.
How does the tier-based savings model work with Spot optimization?
The tier-based savings model offers different pricing rates based on your total cloud spend and optimization potential. As your cloud usage increases and you leverage more of Spot.io's optimization capabilities through Elastigroup (EG), Ocean, or Eco, you may qualify for more favorable pricing tiers that reduce the percentage of savings charged or rates associated with vCPUs.

Spot platform aligns all cross-organizational accounts from different CSP for cloud cost governance
Reviewed on Aug 25, 2023
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
Spot platform by NetApp enables us to assign mandatory tags on all deployed resources, which helps in cloud resource cost segregation quickly.
We can map our cloud infrastructure footprint under a single dashboard & utlize its recommendations to evaluate potential savings.
It provides comprehensive governance control to identify unneded resource deployments and carry out its decomissioning activities in our cloud environments.

It provides comprehensive governance control to identify unneded resource deployments and carry out its decomissioning activities in our cloud environments.
What do you dislike about the product?
Since its resource analyzer is cloud-based utility backed up by a cloud provider & region, the availability of Spot instances may fluctuate & may affect the feasibility of cloud optimization strategies.
This is applicable to all service platforms that rely upon Cloud Service Provider (CSP), hence its not a major downside, looking at the overall cloud spend management.
By streamlining our workloads with Spot insights, we determine cost predictions & estimate resource expenditures based on historical data & changes in the anticipated workloads.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Spot platform effectively benefits us by allowing us to identify all underutilized & idle resources which can be terminated for saving resource expenditures.
We can conveniently tag critical resources which handle our priority workload, so that it can be monitored & won't be accidentally interrupted by other deployments.
It offers single pane of glass visibility on various metrics such as cost prediction, resource utilization, and cost trends which greatly helps with our cloud cost analysis.
Since it supports cross-organizational accounts from different CSP, we can quickly build a centralized overview dashboard for resource reclamation, instance optimization and cloud cost governance stategies.
