No brainer spend on finops observability
What do you like best about the product?
Over the last twelve months we’ve made use of CloudZero to make huge savings to our cloud spend, make sustainable, meaningful changes to our engineering-spend culture, and to enhance our SaaS unit economics.
CloudZero is by far the best value software I buy here. Over the course of 12 months it’s almost inevitable that we break even with the savings we make against our subscription costs.
Finally, the team at CloudZero are a huge asset to us, it’s like having another team member keeping tabs on things. I have a fortnightly call with Mark Banz who always finds something I’ve missed, and Matt Manger was instrumental in gearing us up for success.

What do you dislike about the product?
It's a hard one. They replatformed from using quicksight to looker internally which broke a few bookmarks I had. The configuration yaml could be more intuitive but they provide great tooling and usually the AM is doing that anyway
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
- Quickly identify accidental spend (bugs) and rectify before the damage becomes too big. At Elliptic we process huge (TODO - how much) volumes of data on a daily basis, and our exposure to risk here is large.
- Identify opportunities for cost saving. To take a recent example, our compute spend has gone up, which we expect, but our compute savings plan is now constantly at 100%, which means we’re fully exposed to paying on demand prices for compute. Time to consider bolstering that savings plan.
- Put spend data directly into the hands of the engineers making real decisions on the ground, “shifting left” on cost culture and meaning we have less bugs, and less opportunities for saving, as we are more deliberate about spend up-front

Good finops tools
What do you like best about the product?
CLoudZero is easy to setup, easy to manipulate, and the pricing is not a percentage of your cloud expenses !
What do you dislike about the product?
For the moment the creation of custom report needs Cloudzero help

Give a large overview of our cloud expenses (GCP and AWS)
CloudZero: Centralized Cost Optimization Platform to review our cloud resource expenditures
What do you like best about the product?
* CloudZero provides a detailed cost breakup of our cloud resources & offers practical recommendations for saving expenditures.
* All access privileges given to CloudZero are minimal, so no customer compliance is compromised.
* We can easily integrate our Slack channel into our CloudZero account to get real-time billing alerts.
* Any incident ticket raised regarding technical challenges is addressed immediately by its support team.

What do you dislike about the product?
Improving its Dashboard with more filter options would be great for us. We are running through resource utilization from different cloud providers & having more filters would ease our task. This is a minor enhancement suggestion. We are satisfied with the cost optimization features and recommendations offered by CloudZero for our cloud infrastructure.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
* Resource tagging is brilliant in CloudZero as it provides clear visibility of our cloud infrastructure and related expenses.
* CloudZero Dimension is an interactive utility inside its platform where we can effectively drill down our cost explorer & detect anomalies.
* It also unifies all our monthly costs in a custom data format which is helpful during presentations with our clients.
* Categorizing our cloud cost allocation is also straightforward, as we can group them based on value, insight or demands.
* Monthly assessment report is beneficial to highlight where we can optimize our cloud expenses & prevent overspending on unused/underused resources in our cloud environments.

CloudZero review

That super cool that you can manage different kind of dashboards
What do you dislike about the product?
That would be better if you can expand the onboarding guide
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Real time costs consumption
Useful solution that enables us to drilldown into AWS expense and also identify increases, etc
What do you like best about the product?
Ability to drilldown into AWS in a targeted way with the ability to work with a consultant to refine the different reports you use.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes data needs alignment, especially with consistent changes to your AWS enviroement. Ensuring things are aligned with the way accounting looks at something is something you must consistently work on.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Visibility into AWS for multiple teams throughought Operations
Cloudzero for monitoring AWS finances
What do you like best about the product?
easy menus to filter data and get to exactly what you need to see
What do you dislike about the product?
Frequency of data update, need realtime.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
cost savings
CloudZero team is great to work with. Special shout out to MattM
What do you like best about the product?
Good people to work with and help us with COGS and cost visualization across AWS, Snowflake.
What do you dislike about the product?
No dislike, but we need integrations with GCP and NewRelic. We also need forecasting ability for 1 year (not just for 1 month)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Overall cost visualization.
Good product that puts a handle on AWS costs
What do you like best about the product?
It is easy for us to see breakdowns on different levels across the company. As a squad member I am interested to see how my team is spending money, but then it's also easy to validate this spending across the larger organization and compare how my team is doing.
What do you dislike about the product?
Using the tool from the APAC region is slower than I would like; it takes a while to filter down into the dimensions I'm interested in, and it's slow to move between the different filters. The slowness makes using the tool cumbersome from time to time, especially when you want to take a glance at your metrics.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This tool gives us detailed, hour-to-hour insights into our spending. When we are migrating our services, we can easily see the costs shift around. The software provides us with the confidence we are not missing any old resources when tidying up our migration.
Very useful tool for controlling your AWS cost
What do you like best about the product?
They show you all the details of your spending. I especially appreciate their anomaly detection and alerts. That allows reacting quickly when something goes awry .,
What do you dislike about the product?
I would like to see more flexibility with alert configuring. Allow more than one channel and e-mail, allow configure custom alert criteria.
We are also looking forward to being able to use CZ on the GCP.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Recently, we were alerted by CZ about a spending anomaly with one of the products we use. It grew slowly, and we did not notice. When CZ warned us, we could drastically reduce spending on this product by optimizing its configuration.
