What do you like best about the product?

What I appreciate most about Tailwarden is the clarity and control it brings to managing our cloud costs. The user interface is far more intuitive and informative compared to Google Cloud Platform's native tools. Tailwarden's ability to create custom dashboards has been invaluable for us, particularly as we handle multiple projects on GCP. It has made tracking our usage and expenditures straightforward and accessible. Moreover, the feature that highlights our real usage (compare to credits) helps us maximize our cloud investments without the guesswork.

What do you dislike about the product?

The main limitation we've encountered with Tailwarden is the lack of historical data points for cost analysis. We’re aware this is more of a restriction from GCP rather than a shortfall of Tailwarden itself, but still.

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

Tailwarden has addressed our critical challenge of gaining precise and granular insights into our cloud costs. As a small AI company working intensively with NLP and LLM models on GCP, we deal with substantial computational expenses. Tailwarden has not only helped us monitor and manage these costs effectively but also enabled us to identify and eliminate unnecessary expenditures. By providing detailed cost analysis per team, it has fostered better budget management and accountability, allowing us to extend our runway and focus more resources on product development rather than overhead. This has been especially beneficial as we prepare to raise more funds to scale our operations.
