Good service
What do you like best about the product?
The service works as announced. If used wisely, you'll save a fair amount of money on your cloud resources. The scheduling feature is already present in Azure/AWS/GCP but only PMC can allow a team to centralize the scheduling of VMs in one single dashboard.
What do you dislike about the product?
The web UI is a little too quaint, and it would be nice to see a refresh on that side. Also, I would love to see some new mechanisms to attach schedules to VMs, e.g., by resource group names. It would also be good to extend the functionality to Kubernetes clusters, which requires more logic than simple VM shutdown.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use PMC to turn off an extensive VM infrastructure overnight, and this helps us save a lot of costs on unused resources. Besides that, this is also good for the planet!
The tool is amazing and mostly, the API is awesome. You can instrument the parking with automations!
What do you like best about the product?
Definitely the API. I could add several accounts with the API, and this made my job very quickly. The interface is great also and uses the API. Wow, point to you guys on this. The reports area is also super functional.
What do you dislike about the product?
What I miss is the filters for reports, relying on the CloudCredential name for filters and missing some dropdowns so we can select it easily (when you have several accounts its a bit complex)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My company has a lot of accounts (both AWS and Azure) that don't have much governance on costs. ParkMyCloud helps to fulfill this gap and provide a quick view about resources that could be parked/scale down, so the cost per license is of tremendous value.
It's Turbo Time!
What do you like best about the product?
I love the service chain relationship displayed between monitored services such as compute, storage, databases,etc.
What do you dislike about the product?
Product lacks the ability to create customized role based permissions within the namespace. I have some groups that need to be scoped to specific monitoring targets but still have the abililty to manage and create policies. They cannot perform specific actions without their roles being elevated to a higher permission that works at a global level and not a scoped level for the target. Unfortunately this allows them to interact with resources across all targets not intended for their scope. The only solution is to utilize seperate instances of the service.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are reducing our IaaS OPEX in public cloud by leveraging the AI decisions to right size our workloads. Reducing IT staffing requirements by reducing skills complexity to review and investigate performace metrics data, along with providing the ability to automate and orchestrate the actions.
ParkMyCloud has been tremendously easy to use and implement, we have seen cost savings right away!
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of use, product was extremely easy to implement and use.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing at the moment, the product has been very intutitive.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Better management of Cloud Resource Scheduling.
PMC for cost savings and managing cloud resources
What do you like best about the product?
I strongly believe PMC is the best tool to manage the cloud resources and cost savings.
The most i liked the feature in PMC is Scheduling and recommendation which we get.

Easily Tracking Our Cloud Spending
What do you like best about the product?
It is super useful to be able to keep an eye on cloud spend as it can so easily get out of control as resources are added. In particular, the resizing in particular has been a great source of savings.
In the past, I have worked in consultancies that helped clients with their Azure configuration and there was never a case where money wasn't being wasted. It is common to find entire virtual machines costing hundreds of dollars that are no longer being used. Having Park My Cloud keep an eye out for this kind of issue means this will never happen at my current organisation.
We track the savings made directly with the Park My Cloud dashboard, and also those where we make a manual change based on the information supplied by Park My Cloud and it paid for itself in the first month. We continue to make gains each month as our cloud use evolves.

What do you dislike about the product?
It is tricky to set up the profile in Azure, as Azure requires you do to it on the command line, but Park My Cloud supply a script to use for this.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are managing our cloud spend and we have saved thousands of dollars of unnecessary cost.
Easy to use with tangible benefits
What do you like best about the product?
Schedules are easy to set and use to start realizing cost savings. The schedule is mostly drop down but could benefit from cleaning up the time zone list which is taken from a third party.
What do you dislike about the product?
It would be nice to not be getting charged for Azure databases that are not controllable yet.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have developers that have been leaving their VMs on 24 hours a day despite them only being used for some portion of their 8 hour day. By scheduling the resources we have already started realizing almost $2000 in monthly savings while still working on adoption.
ParkMyCloud Review
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use and helpful in situations where you have on-demand AWS instances. Can save quite a bit of money in the long run.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not very useful if you have reserved instances like we do.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Nothing yet but in the future we will apply PMC to on-demand instances to save money on evening and weekends or as needed.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you have all reserved instances on Amazon AWS this might not be the solution for you.
A Solid Cloud Cost Management Partner
What do you like best about the product?
Very intelligent identification of instance usage, which is the most challenging part of scheduling instances. It's very difficult to determine this simply from CloudWatch, especially in an automated fashion.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are parts of the UI that are slow to render, especially when you're over a few thousand instances. However, the ParkMyCloud team has been very much willing to work with us to resolve any issues we've seen and are working to resolve that issue.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're enforcing the parking of instances that are 90% or more idle, and enforcing the rightsizing of instances that would result in 20% or more savings. Probably most importantly, it has raised awareness with my hundreds of clients around the benefits of both parking and rightsizing.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
We recommend providing ParkMyCloud user logins to all DevOps users of your environment, as well as their management. This also requires some degree of training to make sure they are successful using it.
