The only cloud cost management tool we need
What do you like best about the product?
We've been a Vantage customer almost since the inception of our company. As soon as we had AWS credits to spend, I set up Vantage (which was itself very early stage at the time). It was easy to get deployed, and was vastly superior to AWS' built-in cost management tools.
In those early days we were pushing some Vantage features to their limit, and I had several very pleasant and productive interactions with their support and even their CEO. It's been years since I've needed to reach out to their support, as the product is very solid, works very well, and is intuitive. I even onboarded our controller to Vantage so that she can self-serve her own data to attribute our spend to COGS, R&D, or sales activities.

What do you dislike about the product?
I don't think this is a "dislike" per se, but sometimes I wish it could be configured to automatically do things like terminate VMs in non-prod accounts that have been running more than a few days, delete detached volumes in non-prod accounts after some time, etc. But I understand why they don't do that; it's an entirely different level of access and probably a liability that they'd prefer to avoid.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have over 150 AWS accounts across our org, used by developers, QA, sales, and our production workloads. It would be impossible to keep track of who is spending what and to catch runaway spend before it gets out of hand, if we didn't have Vantage.
