What do you like best about the product?

CloudZero's Kubernetes cost reporting is accurate and very helpful to show engineering teams their share of cluster costs.

CloudZero does a great job of showing costs based on usage type for a given provider

Cost Formation allows you to version dimensions/datasets. In addition, I can create dimensions much faster by defining the dimension in YAML

CloudZero seems much more intuitive to use than other cloud cost platforms

The views are not as busy as other cost reporting platforms making it easier to read/use

Their AI model cost display allows us to show costs per token, per model, and other granular criteria

What do you dislike about the product?

They need to improve their UX. I would like to add users via an API call.

We would like to see usage in gigabytes with costs for certain AWS services as well as for New Relic costs.

They need to improve their budgets so you can sort and filter

It would be nice to be able to add users via API call instead of manually

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Helping with engagement with engineering teams and leadership
Providing detailed cost dimensions/dataset to make better views. This is especially true in the Kubernetes and AI model spaces
The ability to notify via Slack has helped with notifications to engineering teams and leadership. Notifications no longer go to the email spam folder
Putting up soft spending boundaries with the use of budgets and budget notifications
