Stable
Gaining resource-level cost visibility has improved our AWS spend control and ongoing optimizations
What is our primary use case?
Our primary use case is monitoring and optimizing our AWS costs, with better visibility into spending at the resource level.
How has it helped my organization?
Stable has helped us better understand our AWS costs and identify optimization opportunities. We discovered several findings that we had not identified with other tools, which has improved our ability to manage and reduce unnecessary cloud spending.
What is most valuable?
The resource-level cost view is one of the most valuable features for us. It provides clear visibility into where our costs are coming from and makes it easier to investigate spending in detail. We also appreciate the optimization insights, particularly those that revealed opportunities we had previously overlooked.
What needs improvement?
There should be better ways to ignore recommendations or filter recommendations. Unicorn has added new features requested since we purchased, and they are taking into account our feedback in their roadmap, which is greatly appreciated.
For how long have I used the solution?
We have used the solution for 7 months.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We used other AWS cost-management and optimization tools before Stable. We bought Stable because it provided additional insights that we had not found elsewhere, along with a more useful view of costs by resource.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
I would consider using Unicorn as your AWS reseller to get a better deal.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
We considered CORA and CoH from AWS.
What other advice do I have?
In our case, two specific recommendations did offset the cost of the tool.
If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?
Cost monitoring has delivered clear savings and guides ongoing cloud modernization decisions
What is our primary use case?
I use it to monitor AWS cost, spot quick unused or underused services and instances for quick optimizations, and to guide me in better planning infrastructure modernization over time.
How has it helped my organization?
Stable gives me the confidence to identify and eliminate truly unused instances, leading to immediate cost reductions. Beyond quick wins, it helps quantify potential savings from infrastructure modernization, allowing me to prioritize our strategic roadmap using real measurements rather than gut feel.
What is most valuable?
The initial insights are spot-on, clear, and deliver immediate value right out of the box. Additionally, it is like having a dedicated DevOps specialist continuously monitoring our AWS infrastructure at a fraction of the cost.
What needs improvement?
While every environment is different, I would like to be benchmarked against some comparables.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using it for two years.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
Stable was the first product of its kind that I've used!
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The first insight provides actionable cost reduction, making it a no-brainer that pays for itself.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
I felt very confident, tried it, and was happy with the result.
What other advice do I have?
It is a great product for the price!
