A Kubernetes scheduling tool that we were missing
What do you like best about the product?
The simplicity of installation and use of the platform. In about 20 minutes you have your Kubernetes nodes managed by cast.ai. It was really quick and easy to set up.
The configuration of the different node types is also very convenient and the cost tracking is very powerful.

What do you dislike about the product?
Actually, nothing. The product corresponded totally to our needs and expectations. But if we really want to find something to complain about, we could talk about the price. The pricing per CPU can be disadvantageous in some cluster configurations I think. In our case, we managed to negotiate a fixed price.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Cast.ai allows us to easily track the cost of our clusters and the various Kubernetes applications and namespaces. And in terms of node scheduling it allows us to have Kubernetes nodes faster and better balanced than the basic scheduling of our Cloud provider. Scheduling is the feature that interested us the most, especially for setting up spot nodes (reduced rates) very easily.
Cast AI is one of the best in the field when it comes to bin packing on kubernetes
What do you like best about the product?
Highly technical team, they listen to our problems and their product allows for a lot of granularity and control.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is a lot of helm chart setups to get the configurations that we need. They caused reliability issues which says that they need to mature a bit more, but are getting there.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
They help us bin pack, maximize spot instances
Helped us optimize AWS Cloud Spend
What do you like best about the product?
We were able to reduce our AWS cloud spend by almost 40%. This has taken a considerable amount of spend from a DevOps teams perspective. I would highly recommend CAST AI to other SaaS platforms.
What do you dislike about the product?
It took a little bit of initial time in the Kubernetes configuration but it was worth. Seems to be all good as of now.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
- On a high volume sign up days, our systems were getting slow at times and other times, there was a spike in CPU usage resulting into high monthly cloud costs. Our systems were not optimized for spend.
Better tool for cost optimisation and automation
What do you like best about the product?
It's an AI driven, multi-cloud-supported platform for cost optimisation and automation, which gives you cost breakdown and suggests you different ways to automate the resource creation.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not sure, we haven't tried this in on-prem so far. It would be great if it supports VMware or any other hypervisor related platforms, although Kubernetes support is more than enough for our requirement.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
it's helping us to reducing the cost. i would say it cuts your cloud bills in half.
All in One FinOps tool
What do you like best about the product?
Cast ai gives you the feasibility to check and improve cost at a federated or single cluster, it has the capability to automate cost-effectiveness based on human parameters.
What do you dislike about the product?
Well till date i didn't find anything of dislike.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Cast ai helped us to evaluate the cost of each resource based on which we were able to generate a much more detailed report in our financial audit.
Instant cost savings on the cloud with little effort
What do you like best about the product?
Integrating Cast.AI into our cloud infrastructure, and the results have been nothing short of transformative. As a Kubernetes automation platform, Cast.AI has significantly streamlined our operations and delivered instant cost savings on the cloud.
From the moment we deployed Cast.AI, we noticed a substantial reduction in our cloud expenses. The platform’s intelligent automation capabilities allowed us to optimize resource allocation effortlessly, generating an impressive 60% in Kubernetes cloud cost savings with no extra effort on our part.

What do you dislike about the product?
Azure support for new features is generally last compared to the 3 main clouds.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Managing our AKS cost.
Cost effective way to run sparse workloads
What do you like best about the product?
The ability for me to get workloads that run for staging, development and testing at a cost-effective manner.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the affinity and tolerations do not behave if they are restarted too frequently.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It reduces the fleet of spot instances I have to manage. It also introduces good operational metrics in their dashboards.
It's a wonderful solution for Kubernetes deployments
What do you like best about the product?
It brings efficiency and cost reduction without any hassles or disruptions in production environment
It uses both bean packing& right sizing plus spot automation to do the aforesaid

What do you dislike about the product?
Longer POC cycles leads to long decision making cycles.
For small customers they just use the recommemdations provided and do the stuff manualy
The scope of limited to kubernetes deployment only

Intelligent auto-scaling, real-time cost reporting, and fully featured to optimize your Kube cluster
What do you like best about the product?
Bin-packing of nodes and the evictor help reduce the operational cost of your Kubernetes cluster. The scoped cluster feature allows you to partion a portion of your cluster and run services on dedicated nodes optimized for cost-efficiency.
What do you dislike about the product?
Cost reporting seems only to go back 1 month. However, it is possible to export this data out as Prometheus metrics for tracking in our own tool.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Decreasing cost of large-scale performance-driven deployments while moving away from node groups, and excessive cost in our staging cluster.
