Cloud cost governance has improved and now provides detailed control of shared workloads
Reviewed on Aug 16, 2026
Review from a verified AWS customer
What is our primary use case?
I have been using VMWare Tanzu CloudHealth for six years.
My main use case for VMWare Tanzu CloudHealth is to control our cloud environments. We have VMWare in cloud running on AWS and Azure, but also we use it to control our cloud load running in AWS and Azure.
One of the things we do is use VMWare Tanzu CloudHealth to identify all our load running in one single tenant account to check what was the cost of running these loads and then use it to create the accounts for each of these users and transfer the loads to them. We were able to show them the cost that was being used for each of these accounts and now they will be able to have a better view and control of the expenses on the cloud.
What is most valuable?
VMWare Tanzu CloudHealth is a great tool to understand the cost of the clouds, to have very detailed financial information on the loads running there, how much of the budget is being used, and have a clear overview of what is happening and plan for the future.
The best features VMWare Tanzu CloudHealth offers are cost management and right sizing because one of the main problems on the load in the cloud is that people tend to think that it is like running things on-premises and you can build huge VMs with no consequences. This is a great tool to show the users that it is different and you need to better right-size your loads in the cloud compared to on-premises.
We migrated loads from premises to the cloud where we were having very big VMs. After showing the team running these VMs using VMWare Tanzu CloudHealth that the VMs were consuming a lot of resources, we were able to show them that it was better to reduce the size of the VMs, spread out the load, and use only the capacity that was being required at the specific times.
Having a better control of our cloud loads and having ways to see how to optimize and improve how it is running there and having better governance was critical for our organization's success.
What needs improvement?
For my personal case, VMWare Tanzu CloudHealth works perfectly. I do not see any urgent or required improvements. Perhaps later on I will see those possibilities, but for the moment, it works for my needs and requirements.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been working in my current field for four years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
VMWare Tanzu CloudHealth is stable in my experience.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
For us, VMWare Tanzu CloudHealth is working really well. It can be scalable as we need it and we did not have any problems so far.
How are customer service and support?
The customer support for VMWare Tanzu CloudHealth is excellent. We have a dedicated team to support our needs, so in our case, we did not have any problems. I will give the customer support a nine.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We were not using a tool before VMWare Tanzu CloudHealth.
How was the initial setup?
We had a long history of working with VMware, so this was the tool we evaluated and we decided to go with it.
What about the implementation team?
I acquired VMWare Tanzu CloudHealth directly through VMware.
What was our ROI?
I did not take part in those discussions, so I am not sure about the metrics, but I can say that in my experience, we saved money on using VMWare Tanzu CloudHealth, money that would have been spent in the cloud and now we reduce the load and the cost of the clouds. For me it was an improvement for us.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
We were not using a tool before VMWare Tanzu CloudHealth.
What other advice do I have?
VMWare Tanzu CloudHealth is a very good product. It helps me to improve the management and the overview of the cloud loads and it fulfills all my needs.
VMWare Tanzu CloudHealth gives better help and good advice on governance and security topics. I have not used it that much yet, but it will be something I will definitely be testing and going deep into it.
The tests I tried were good enough to be used in a production environment.
I recommend VMWare Tanzu CloudHealth. I will tell them to test it if it will be sufficient for their needs, but I definitely recommend it. I would rate this review a nine overall.

All-in-One Platform for Easy Cost Optimization, Governance, and Reporting
Reviewed on Aug 13, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
What I like most is the overall platform and how it brings different aspects of cloud cost management together in one place. It has been particularly useful for cost optimization and governance, as it gives us better visibility into where and how our cloud resources are being consumed.
I also find the policy management capabilities quite helpful because they allow us to establish and enforce consistent governance practices across the environment. Another thing I appreciate is how easy it is to build and customize reports. This makes it much simpler to track spending, identify optimization opportunities, and share meaningful insights with different teams. Overall, it has made cost management more structured and easier to handle on a day-to-day basis.

What do you dislike about the product?
One area where I feel there is room for improvement is the user experience. The UI can sometimes feel a bit complex, especially when navigating through different features or trying to find specific information. It can take some time to get familiar with where everything is and how the different capabilities are organized.
I also feel the support experience could be significantly better. At times, getting the right level of support or resolving an issue can take longer than expected. Better responsiveness and more effective guidance from the support team would make the overall experience much smoother.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The biggest benefit for us is the visibility and control it provides over cloud costs, which ultimately helps us save money. It makes it easier for us to identify areas where we may be overspending or where resources are not being utilized efficiently.
The anomaly detection and alerting capabilities are also very useful because they help us identify unusual spending patterns or unexpected changes early, rather than finding out about them later. This allows us to take corrective action quickly. Overall, it helps us stay more proactive with cost management, improve our spending efficiency, and avoid unnecessary expenses.

I have been using VMWare Tanzu CloudHealth for close to four years while working on this platform.
What was our ROI?
I have not seen a return on investment with VMWare Tanzu CloudHealth, as it is a monitoring tool.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing for VMWare Tanzu CloudHealth is that the setup is minimal and simple. I have not been directly responsible for pricing setup in CloudHealth, but I understand it involves configuring cloud cost allocation using the account hierarchies, tags, business groups, budgets, and pricing rules to accurately track and report cloud spend. My experience with AWS, Azure, and GCP billing, resource tagging, and cost optimization helps me learn and work through CloudHealth quickly. Pricing setup is the process of configuring how the cloud costs are calculated and allocated, which includes connecting cloud billing data, defining business groups, mapping resource tags, and setting custom rates if required. I do not handle this pricing and pricing setup personally.
What other advice do I have?
Regarding VMWare Tanzu CloudHealth's AI capabilities, it provides governance through policy-based controls, resource tagging, budget enforcement, and automated remediation. From a security perspective, it offers compliance monitoring, security posture visibility, access controls through role-based access control, and continuous monitoring to identify these aspects across the cloud environments.
In terms of VMWare Tanzu CloudHealth's AI capabilities regarding accuracy and reliability of output, I do not get the actual figures, but it provides an accurate cloud inventory, cost analysis, utilization data, and recommendations based on the telemetry collected from the cloud providers, such as AWS, Azure, and GCP.
I have rated this product with a review rating of 8.5.
