What do you like best about the product?

Finout provides a responsive and interactive cost exploration experience, which provides a strong foundation for expansive feature set. We're heavily leveraging its shared cost functionality which allows us to chargeback and allocate previously opaque platform-level costs to teams across our organization - functionality which no other vendor provides. Its virtual tagging system provides a level of flexibility and customization which allows us to abstract away complexity to our end-users. Additionally, its custom cost functionality gives us the flexibility to add any 3rd party vendor and view costs side by side with supported cloud providers, this mitigates the need for us to wait for Finout to add specific integrations with every vendor we need.

What do you dislike about the product?

Finout can be quite complex at times, which is fine for experience users, but for end-users such as engineers which may not be as familiar with the product, it can be overwhelming. The good news is that Finout is actively improving this with features such as simplified filters.

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

Monitoring our cloud costs across many providers. Providing team-level visibility across a team's cloud spend, down to a high-level of detail (such as cost of an analytics event). Provides anomaly alerting functionality which reduces our time to detection of spend anomalies, ultimately saving money. Also provides budgeting functionality.
