Product video
PointFive is a Cloud Efficiency Posture Management (CEPM) platform that transforms cloud cost visibility into verified, engineering-driven outcomes. Traditional cost tools show what you spend. PointFive identifies why it is wasted, who owns it, and ensures it gets fixed.
Powered by the DeepWaste™ Detection Engine, PointFive uncovers 300+ inefficiency types across AWS services including EC2, EKS, RDS, DynamoDB, S3, networking, serverless, and Kubernetes. By correlating billing data with metrics, logs, configuration state, and usage behavior, PointFive detects architectural inefficiencies, underutilization, configuration drift, and commitment misalignment that traditional FinOps tools miss.
Every opportunity includes contextual attribution, business impact, and clear remediation guidance. PointFive embeds action directly into engineering workflows through Jira, ServiceNow, IDE integrations, and automation pipelines with one-click scripts and AI-assisted remediation. Each action follows a closed-loop process: Detect, Assign, Fix, Verify, Report - with savings validated in billing data, not left as projected estimates.
Fully agentless and read-only, PointFive deploys in minutes without infrastructure impact, enabling enterprises to convert cloud waste into measurable savings and sustainable AWS growth.
Highlights
- Deep Cloud & AI Cost Optimization: Detect architectural inefficiencies, AI workload waste, Kubernetes over-provisioning, and commitment misalignment across AWS using advanced DeepWaste™ multi-source detection beyond traditional FinOps tools.
- Engineering-Native Remediation & Verification: Embed cloud cost optimization directly into Jira, ServiceNow, and IDE workflows with contextual ownership, AI-assisted fixes, and closed-loop verification of billing-validated savings.
- Agentless, Enterprise-Scale Efficiency: Deploy in minutes with read-only access, optimize Savings Plans and commitments, track effective savings rate, detect anomalies with root-cause analysis, and achieve measurable cloud and AI ROI.

Makes Saving Money Fun
Reviewed on Feb 13, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
PointFive truly reduces the time it takes to investigate savings. For each item there's a diagnosis followed by a remediation workflow. No longer do I need to spend a ton of time researching savings as they've already done it for me.
What do you dislike about the product?
I feel like there's an opportunity to gamify savings a bit more i.e like a "company savings leaderboard" and then work with your customer to actually offer rewards beyond the reward of saving a ton of money!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With all the services AWS offers now it's impossible to sit down and find savings across every single service. PointFive does this automatically and will show me savings I never would have thought to review.

Empowers Cost Visibility, Needs UI Polish
Reviewed on Feb 12, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
I really like that PointFive has worked with us directly to solve the problems we have. They've been very receptive to our feedback on user experience and the needs we have as a large enterprise. I value the datasets they have exposed to us the most, as we can build robust tools in-house and display data in ways that matter to us. This saves us both time and money since we don't have to host or maintain the database, allowing us to focus on delivering exactly what our teams need. I also like the extra data breakdowns that PointFive provides.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the UI functionality could be improved. There are aspects that lack some polishing for a more intuitive experience. Filtering is a big one; it's difficult to search and opt in or out of filter options on the reporting screens. Also, building reports yourself can be cumbersome. I would love to see a text to auto dashboard creator type of interaction for the custom dashboard feature.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use PointFive for cost opportunity and anomaly tracking, which helps us track runaway costs. The datasets are invaluable for custom dashboarding, saving time and money by not maintaining databases, letting us focus on what teams need.

Point 5 Makes Cloud Cost Savings Simple
Reviewed on Feb 12, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
Saving money in the cloud isn’t simple—at least, it wasn’t for me until I started using Point 5. I now use it a few times a week, especially when we’re downgrading infrastructure to help the company save money.
The user interface is very straightforward, and it’s simple and intuitive to use.

What do you dislike about the product?
The poweruser query language can be a bit fiddly
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In several teams we have gone through cost saving excercises, point 5 puts simple processes around this to help poke and make standard users super charge the money saving process

Actionable FinOps Insights That Save Engineers Time
Reviewed on Feb 12, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
PointFive does the important data analytics of financial ops behind the scenes and distills their findings down into actionable insights. As a result, Engineers can spend more time resolving cost savings opportunities and less time doing data analytics to try and find the opportunities in the first place.
What do you dislike about the product?
Downsides are limited in comparison to other FinOps tools. They have fundamentally redefined the category and have become the new benchmark by which I evaluate all other tools in comparison.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
PointFive helps us manage the costs of our entire cloud infrastructure estate while relentlessly identifying opportunities to reduce our spend across it. We have generated substantial reductions in cloud costs as a result
