We had not been evaluating the spending for our group. So we used CloudCheckr to evaluate what we had running and how much it cost to turn off what we did not need.

Spot platform aligns all cross-organizational accounts from different CSP for cloud cost governance
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.

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.

A stable and scalable solution that enables users to evaluate spending and lower their expenses
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
The solution is scalable for our purposes.
What needs improvement?
I found it less useful. My group took the data and organized it with Tableau. I used CloudCheckr to verify what I was seeing in Tableau. The solution must improve its user interface.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using the solution for two weeks.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I did not see any instability. I rate the product’s stability a ten out of ten.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I rate the scalability an eight out of ten.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
Tableau is more useful than CloudCheckr.
What other advice do I have?
People wanting to use the solution must check the documentation and be prepared for a learning curve. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
Private Cloud
If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?
Amazon Web Services (AWS)
The product is not complete, with some bugs and pages to be improved. The service of spot is good
What do you like best about the product?
The service in chat
the simplicity of the product
a variety of possibilities to use the product

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I want to reduce my bill with aws in 30%. My best try is with spotinst
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Its a great option to reduce the AWS bill! Easy to use and great results
Great product overall
What do you like best about the product?
Significantly cuts cloud cost.
Gives applications enough time to gracefully shutdown before evictions most of the time.
Syncs very well with AWS EKS and is very easy to use

What do you dislike about the product?
Pricing is a bit off due to calculation errors. Cost is calculated as a portion of saved expenses - however, these are calculated based on machine types you might not usually use anyway, and therefor calculation is off..
API is not maintained making it difficult to integrate with pipelines.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Cost reduction. Machine type control and label management
Great idea that saves money
What do you like best about the product?
The knowledge and assistance the support has.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes, the need to reconfigure my environment
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Saving money while managing the environment efficiently.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Nice product and good to have.
Overall we are a happy Spot Ocean user for around 2 years
What do you like best about the product?
Spot Ocean is working in the background and in general we don't need to tweak it too often. It is giving us the cost benefits, with basically no toil at all on the long run. We are using Ocean with almost all our EKS clusters.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is hard to say much that I dislike. Of course, Ocean is an extra layer of abstraction that we need to think about and take it into the calculation, when we are thinking about reserved instances or spot instances. At the same time, utilizing it with Spot ECO, it is relatively simple.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have a fairly seasonal traffic both within a week and within a year. Having many stateless services, our compute resource requirements are fairly varying - following that while also using our instance types and available resources optimally, is a task that is automated for us by Spot Ocean.
Spot Ocean Review
What do you like best about the product?
Spot Ocean simplifies my operations in a way that it's easier to scale
What do you dislike about the product?
I think Spot could come with a larger platform for learning how to manage the benefits it could bring to the table
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have been analyzing and lowering operational costs
