Great Product! and can do much more...
What do you like best about the product?
It's simple to use for everyone (not only FInOps Eng's), easy to create reports / dashboard's and to view the costs.
It not so expensive like CloudHealth...
Customer Support is great! I get what I need and very fast :)

What do you dislike about the product?
It lack some basic views, like amount of machines per account per day.
Feed of creating new resources.
I can't monitor EC2's utilization like I could do with CloudHealth (it's more complex and not flexible).
Can be easily improved if the FinOut team will add more standards / templates, for example some of my dashboard I'm sure more of your customer will want, and you can give more details regarding common things (RI's / SP's utilization, GPU machines, and other services that are very common in companies),

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have to monitor many accounts, in many payer accounts. With finOut I can aggregate it to one view and it's easier to calculate how much it cost per team / product in my company.

Powerful FinOps Tool with Great Support
What do you like best about the product?
I really like how Finout pulls all our cloud costs from places like AWS and Kubernetes into one single bill. The virtual tagging is also great because we can finally see exactly what each team or project is spending without a ton of manual work. It's given us much better visibility.
What do you dislike about the product?
While it's powerful, some of the more advanced features took a bit of time to get the hang of. I also think it could offer more direct integrations with other tools we use.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It solves the core problem of managing and making sense of complex cloud expenses, especially when trying to track historical data or detect anomalies. We benefit by gaining much better control over our spending, identifying waste, and having reliable data for forecasting.
FinOut - Advanced FinOps Observability Tool
What do you like best about the product?
Finout allow usage based cost allocation,
It uses K8s and Prometheus metrics for shared resources (compute/ memory) to allow me as a user to decide how to distribute my cost.
If you're looking to get a clearer margins picture for your customers, and you're working multi-tenant architecture, with pool of resources for your different customers, finout is the solution.
otherwise you are always stuck with how well your labeling mechanism and attribution is.
In terms of BI, the cost history report is designed carefully, slicer search is swift and smart unlike old school tools.
You can gain a fast and accurate picture by just using the Group by which come with additional magic- not only that it slices the data it also filters only the relevant context.
for exp you group by a snowflake database name, no need to filter out any of you GCP/ AWS resources.
Anomalies report will allow you to create clear alerts based on any time scope you desire.
We're also using the Jira integration to create tickets based on the alerts defined in the system.
In general the ease of use for integration in finout is great.
Overall it is a great finops tool, which I use daily.
In terms of Customer Support I can genuinely say that the experience is amazing, a team of go getters who pushes for the best results, always places us in the first place, it almost feels like a joined operations.

What do you dislike about the product?
It will require a more capable set of hands to understand how to get everything out of this tool, I assume that not every other business fp will easily find the right metric for allocation, it will require a level of expertise in promql, k8s and the product.
I think this "diss-advantage" is key in order to gain better visibility, but if you're looking for a smarter tool - that's the one.
I'm sure you can also work your way up with just tags- but than your losing the point of finout.
There is room to improve around Snowflake meta data integration.

- Cost saving recommendations are basic
- The overall product and company is very much stull in growing stages - features need to be refined and present an edge over capabilities of competitors

Easy-to-use cost analyser for medium and large cloud setups
What do you like best about the product?
Finout makes it easy to filter, group, and visualise cost data from all your cloud platforms. With virtual tagging, tag management burden becomes lighter as tags can be created from existing cost queries instead of having to meticulously add the tags to cloud resources.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are a few features missing that I'd really want to have: More visualisation options for comparing costs of a selected time period to a previous period of the same length. This would help with quickly analysing how the cost trends have changed over time (e.g. week-to-week or month-to-month).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It gives visibility to the overall cloud cost structure, which helps me find out the most important cost optimisation targets.
Good visibility - I can see all my charges across all vendors in one place
What do you like best about the product?
Vtag feuture and the accurate charfe data across all vendors
What do you dislike about the product?
Time wating for loading dashboards when using Vtag
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
See all cost charge in all our vendors like Alibaba,AWS,Azure,GCP,Oracle,Snowflake
Comprehensive Cost Management with Finout
What do you like best about the product?
Finout offers an exceptional platform for managing cloud costs, providing detailed insights into spending across various services. The user-friendly interface makes it easy to navigate and understand complex billing data. I particularly appreciate the ability to allocate costs, which enhances accountability and helps in budget management. The real-time monitoring and alerts for unexpected spending are invaluable, allowing for proactive financial management.
What do you dislike about the product?
While Finout is a powerful tool, it can sometimes be overwhelming due to the sheer volume of data it presents. For new users, the learning curve can be steep, and it may take time to fully understand all the features and functionalities. Additionally, some users may find that certain advanced features require a deeper technical understanding, which could be a barrier for non-technical team members.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Visibility into Cloud Spending,Cost Allocation and Accountability,Real-Time Monitoring and Alerts, among others
