Significant savings achieved with minimal effort.
What do you like best about the product?
We have been able to design custom schedules for unusual usage patterns, as well as the simple 9-5 cases. We also often make use of the easy 'temporary wake' functionality where we can wake something up from being parked temporarily whilst someone makes use of it, without having to remember to park it again afterwards. Previously people may have launched resources for a temporary use case and then forgotten to switch them off again, incurring significant costs. The site is also easy to use, making it easy to understand what a resource schedule covers and to see what is online at a given point in time. New users have gotten up to speed easily.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would probably like to see savings in my own currency. Although I'm billed in US dollars, it don't think in dollars. Some if the icons could probably do with tooltips too, to make them a bit easier to understand for new users. It would be useful to have month long cost projections against individual resources, as well as just the run rate for that resource.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We previously had lots of idle EC2 instances costing us a lot of money when they were not in use at night time or the weekends. Particularly development resources where the developers are only working office hours during Monday to Friday. We have saved tens of thousands of dollars by shutting down these resources at night without any loss of productivity.

More GCP features
ParkMyCloud- Nextgen cloud optimization tool!!!
What do you like best about the product?
Firstly I need to mention Parkmycloud's UI which has a fabulous flow and is perfectly designed to manage my multi-cloud accounts ( AWS & Azure ). Also, It has the SSO feature for secure authentication.
The one feature that attracted me was the automation around the instances that can be managed from the PrakMyCloud console-like scheduled Power ON & OFF.
ParkMyCloud's Cost and Utilization insights give me details on unused resources, provide recommendations, and ensures budgets are met.
Another highlight about the tool is the dashboard and visualization functions which show my all cloud account usage, right-sizing recommendations, and utilization reports. User management becomes really simple as we can assign respective roles and permissions for each user and restrict the access, all importing the bulk users is really helpful.

What do you dislike about the product?
As of now, I feel the tool is restricted only towards VM's and Databases it would be really great if ParkMyCloud can also integrate with other services like Aurora, Redshift & EMR like resources, waiting for these additional features to be released very soon! There should be an option to write our custom scripts to monitor the resources matrices, also integrate multi-factor authentication.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
On a daily basis, we handle multiple accounts for various customers and few of them are multi-cloud accounts, as part of the review process and audits it becomes a tedious scenario with a tool like Parkmycloud I & team are validating all the accounts in a one-stop solution.
By using the polices based on tagging feature on the console we are able to categorize all the workloads and visualize the utilization on the dashboard which can be exported for our records.

If anyone looking for a right cost optimization tool, here its go ahead with ParkMyCloud
Great tool ParkMyCloud
What do you like best about the product?
The simplicity of administration helped me saving a lot of time and operational costs. Ec2 smart scheduling and rightsizing is a great feature.
With bulk user import/export via CSV makes user management effortless.

What do you dislike about the product?
There is no dislike as such but we are expecting python libraries so that we can use API functionality more immersively and reduce few lines of code for creating tailored automation.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Reduced time and operational cost.
Very Useful
What do you like best about the product?
Allows our team to save time and operational costs through automation. The SSO feature is a godsend, and was really the feature that helped our team decide to adapt this product.
What do you dislike about the product?
So far it's been ideal, can't think of anything substancial that I did not like. Even the UI is easy and unique.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Helping to reduce costs on multiple cloud resources.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Rather than spend time creating scripts and functions to start and stop our EC2 instances, we can open the ParkMyCloud application and set the schedule for the instance. Do the 14 day eval, you'll be a customer after that period.
Stretching the cloud dollar.
What do you like best about the product?
Parking cloud instances on a schedule or when not in use (outside of business hours).
What do you dislike about the product?
Needs the ability to exclude instances by tag or to exclude instances from the service (i.e. don't pay for always on instances).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I can launch larger instances with better resources by utilizing the savings from not having them run all the time.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you have non-production instances in the cloud that are only used during business hours or for occasional testing/dev work you are wasting money if you don't use ParkMyCloud.
Help me to minimize costs
What do you like best about the product?
That allows tracking of each resource consumption and scheduling the shutdown of the instances.
What do you dislike about the product?
Right now, I couldn't identify anything that causes me dislike.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Program, group the shutdown and startup of machines that are not in productive environments. The benefits have been that you can visualize when an instance consumes and have the costs close at hand.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
- Having more granular times could be a recommendation.
