CloudZero enables engineers to build cost-effective software. The world's leading cloud-driven companies rely on CloudZero for accurate, granular visibility into total cloud spend.
Overview
CloudZero is a powerful cloud cost intelligence platform - built to provide visibility, insights, and savings to help drive profitable innovation.
By aligning engineering and finance teams around metrics like cost per product feature, customer, and development team, CloudZero enables teams to manage spend, drive a culture of cost-efficient engineering, and improve cloud unit economics.
Even without perfect tagging, customers can use CloudZero to ingest and allocate billing data, split up shared resources, track Kubernetes costs, track PaaS and SaaS costs (e.g., Snowflake, MongoDB, Databricks, Datadog, New Relic), and get a holistic view of total cloud spend.
CloudZero applies unit cost telemetry for accurate cost-per-tenant measurements. Engineers can self-serve to explore cost data and receive alerts about trends and anomalies. Based on accurate unit cost metrics, organizations can drive go-to-market decisions, such as pricing and discounting.
CloudZero can help answer questions like:
-
How are engineering changes affecting my systems' efficiency and my company's profitability?
-
Where are there immediate and continuous cost savings?
-
How do new product and feature releases impact cloud costs?
-
What's the cost per tenant of shared cloud resources?
-
How much do specific Kubernetes workloads cost?

Insightful when Maintained Effectively
Reviewed on Dec 12, 2024
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
CloudZero gives us great insights into our cloud spending. Its ability to allocate costs to specific teams, products, and features has significantly improved our understanding of where resources are being consumed, giving us a more wholistic view of the environment.
What do you dislike about the product?
The learning curve for using CloudZero's key features can be rough for new users. Additionally, initial setup and and jumping in when it hasn't been updated recently required a good amount of effort to ensure accurate cost attribution, and if not maintained, it obviously hurts the amount of insight that can be derived .
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Wholistic view of our spending profile and easy allocation across departments and teams

Great solution for our cloud FinOps needs

What do you like best about the product?
Support for all of our major providers, from the infrastructure providers to major other services like Snowflake, Datadog, etc. Flexible reporting and alerting, stellar customer success managers. Its like having a great tool and second set of eyes on our spend.
What do you dislike about the product?
Small company with immaturity in places, still learning, but listening and moving forward. Note this is minor and has much improved over the last couple years.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Visibility into spend. Even with a single infrastructure provider like AWS it was much improved over what they offer. But having that same visibility accross all our major spend for R&D (outside of people) is fantastic. We can track spend, report back on projects, initiatives etc. We get alerts on spikes and proactively chase unexpected cost spikes etc. We find issues before Finance notices.

An invaluable tool for understanding and attributing where your cloud spend is coming from

What do you like best about the product?
The attribution model (cost-formation) is really powerful (without being too complex). It's helped us to allocate cost at various levels of the organisation. This in combination with the great UI enables infrequent users to quickly see what they are spending.
What do you dislike about the product?
The forecasting side of the tool is pretty limited it would be great to see this evolve especially through the use of AI.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Enables us to interpret, allocate and represent our cloud spend (across multiple vendors).
We're also using the allocated data to feed back into our BI tooling and give us real time unit cost.

CloudZero has been an excellent window into our Cloud Spend

What do you like best about the product?
CloudZero can give you an excellent view into your Cloud costs, enabling you the flexibility to cut up complex infrastructure into buckets that make sense for your use case.
The ability to quickly integrate multiple Cloud Providers into the tool gives an amazing single pane of glass. This allows for easy comparison between spend changes across multiple vectors.
Asside from the software itself, the access you gain to a FinOps Account manager has been great. Having an expert from the CloudZero side to support in configuration and troubleshoot problems enables things to get sorted quickly - ultimately improving the experience for internal customers.

What do you dislike about the product?
Where I think they can improve is arround some of their reporting functionality. In part, this is the overall management of those alerts including configuration and dissmissal but also the depth of information they provide.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
CloudZero enables us to view and breakdown cloud costs across all of our Cloud Providers. Its providing a single pane of glass view, that prevents this information in a way that makes sense for engineers and product managers.
The engine underneath is allowing us to calculate unit costs and ultimately the efficicency of the infrastructure that we're providing.
This level of visibility at scale is something we have never had.

Provide Cost allocation, Spending Insights and Support Financial Planning of our Cloud Spend

Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
CloudZero makes it easy for us to allocate costs and understand the spending for our Cloud environment (primary AWS). Additionally, it allows us to generate insights and clearly flag changes that are unexpected or resulting from architectural decisions. We are leveraging CloudZero mostly on the engineering level with our delivery teams, but we also use it as a financial support team to plan our costs and allow financial reconciliation.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are still some open points to integrating the discovered Insights into our processes, such as a Jira Integration allowing our Engineers to act on findings even faster.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Cost allocation of AWS Spend. Understanding spends across services and allocation of cost to different services.
