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.

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

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 do you dislike about the product?
Optimization opportunities are mainly relevant for AWS and they way those are presented is not convinient.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
- Bringing all costs from different Cloud vendors and other SaaS tools to one place, this remove the need to visit many vendors' native cost tools
- Allow cost allocation from all clouds for features/product that use resources on multiple clouds and create easy monitoring and alerting on the whole feature/product cost rather than creating it on each vendor native tool and analyze piece by piece.
