Total control and visibility: efficient optimization of costs, CPU, and memory with Cast AI
What do you like best about the product?
With Cast AI, I can clearly identify the amount of CPUs and memory that my cluster is using, as well as the cost it is generating. Additionally, the tool allows for very efficient and secure resource optimization, providing more control and visibility over the environment's usage.
What do you dislike about the product?
No disadvantages. Since we started using Cast AI in our environments, it has helped us a lot in cost optimization.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Cast AI has been helping us control and reduce the costs of our environments by offering the best cluster instances in terms of cost-effectiveness and automatically optimizing our workloads.
Great cost optimisation with helpful query time suggestions
What do you like best about the product?
Automated cost optimization and seamless Kubernetes integration that helps reduce cloud spend with minimal manual effort.
What do you dislike about the product?
nitial setup and fine-tuning can be a bit complex, and deeper visibility into optimization decisions would make it even better.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Cast AI helps optimize Kubernetes infrastructure costs by automatically right-sizing nodes and scaling workloads efficiently. This reduces cloud spend, improves resource utilization, and saves our team time on manual monitoring and optimization.
Saves Time Managing Kubernetes Resources and Cuts Costs
What do you like best about the product?
Gain some time to maintain the kubernetes cluster. We all don't have time to adjust the resource correctly. Cast do that and help us to understand more what each resource need really. It's help us with cost saving too, but human time is really more interesting
What do you dislike about the product?
The product is still "new", sometime, we have some simple problem that they didn't have it before, but they are in generaly reactive about it .
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Resource management in kubernetes cluster. It help me to paid less with better efficiency.
Smarter Kubernetes Optimization with Real Cost Impact
What do you like best about the product?
What I like best about Cast AI is how effectively it combines cost optimization with operational simplicity. It continuously analyzes our Kubernetes workloads and automatically right-sizes nodes, scales clusters, and leverages spot instances without requiring constant manual tuning from our DevOps team. The visibility into resource utilization and savings is clear and actionable, which makes it easier to justify infrastructure decisions internally. Beyond the cost savings, the real value is the time saved and the confidence that the cluster is always running in an optimized state without daily intervention.
What do you dislike about the product?
One downside is that some of the more advanced configuration and optimization features require a deeper understanding of Kubernetes and cloud infrastructure to fully leverage. While the basics are easy to set up, fine tuning policies and understanding the impact of certain automation decisions can take time. In addition, more granular cost reporting and forecasting capabilities would be helpful for organizations that need detailed financial breakdowns across teams or projects.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Cast AI is solving the problem of inefficient Kubernetes resource utilization and unpredictable cloud costs. Before using it, we were overprovisioning to avoid performance risks, which resulted in wasted spend and constant manual monitoring. Cast AI automates cluster scaling, right sizing, and spot instance management, which reduces overprovisioning while maintaining reliability. This directly benefits us by lowering infrastructure costs, improving resource efficiency, and freeing our engineering team from repetitive operational tasks so they can focus on higher value initiatives.
Superb Support and a Great New Cluster Optimization Feature
What do you like best about the product?
Their support is superb, with a monthly call that helps keep things on track. I also appreciate the new feature for managing and optimizing workload.
What do you dislike about the product?
So far, everything has looked good overall. However, the Workload Optimisation could be improved, as we’ve been having some difficulties with it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The workload autoscaler is something we don’t have to manage ourselves, which has been a big help. It also delivers cost savings by optimizing our Kubernetes nodes.
Great UI and Overall Experience
What do you like best about the product?
The UI and experience are too good to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is amazing. I feel there is notging to dislike anything
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
CAST AI eliminates cloud waste and operational toil by using real-time automation to rightsize Kubernetes workloads and manage Spot instances, cutting cloud bills by up to 60-80%.
For users, this means achieving peak application performance without manual scaling or overprovisioning, ultimately freeing DevOps teams to focus on innovation rather than infrastructure maintenance.

Powerful node autoscaling and cost management, but may be tricky in complex setups
What do you like best about the product?
Wide and automated choice over node tiers, advanced options compared to basic autoscalers
What do you dislike about the product?
Not so easy to implement in a complex context, issues of idempotency of the TF resources
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
FinOps optimisation
Powerful Cost Monitoring with Intuitive Interface
What do you like best about the product?
I like how CAST AI calculates the cost on a daily basis and provides insightful financial granularity. This helps me catch spending spikes in real time and manage my services effectively to prevent bill shock. The new console UI is friendly and easy to use, which simplifies handling complex Kubernetes data. I love how it turns these complexities into a one-click executive dashboard for effortless FinOps management. Setting it up was very easy, even without much previous experience, making my transition to using CAST AI smooth and problem-free.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it's hard to believe in the product and the trustworthiness of the data it provides. More cost-accurate calculations are needed.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use CAST AI for cost monitoring and cluster configuration. It helps me track high or low costs, manage services, stop bill shock with daily insights, and simplify Kubernetes data into an easy dashboard for FinOps management.
Efficient Autoscaling with Room for Improvement
What do you like best about the product?
I really like the node templates concept and bin packing feature of CAST AI. The rebalancing feature is also impressive. With node templates, I find it much more flexible compared to managing nodes via GCP nodepools, where we could only choose one machine type. The bin packing and rebalancing features help save us money. The initial setup of CAST AI was easy and straightforward.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think the Terraform modules need improvement. We have reported a bug. Bin packing and evictor need some improvement.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use CAST AI for cluster and workload autoscaling in production, mainly for cost-saving. It solves bin packing and allows flexibility with node templates and rebalancing features, which save us money.
Intuitive Dashboards, Easy Cost Optimization
What do you like best about the product?
I like CAST AI for Cost Monitoring and Analytics. I find the dashboards and UI really appealing. The cluster optimization agents are valuable tools that I use. The initial setup was easy peesy, which made getting started quite simple.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing i could think of
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use CAST AI for cost monitoring, understanding cost identity, and optimizing cost leakage.
