I use Hyperglance for multi-account AWS infrastructure mapping, network dependency visualization, and compliance hygiene. I use it to maintain live topology diagrams across client member accounts and catch orphaned resources such as unattached EBS volumes and idle Elastic IPs.

Before Hyperglance, my team spent hours every sprint manually redrawing architecture diagrams in Visio or Lucidchart for client reviews. Those diagrams were outdated the moment our CI/CD pipelines deployed changes.

Hyperglance runs in our shared-services VPC and maps everything automatically across 40+ AWS member accounts using IAM cross-account roles. It completely removed the manual diagramming chore and helped us spot misconfigured route tables and security groups before client audits.

The self-hosted deployment is the biggest advantage for us. Because the appliance runs entirely on an EC2 instance inside our VPC, no configuration data or credentials leave our boundary, which made InfoSec sign-off easy with strict banking clients. The graph visualization is also great.

Clicking an EC2 instance to immediately trace its ENIs, security groups, route tables, and connected VPC endpoints makes network troubleshooting much faster than clicking around the AWS console. Linking AWS Cost and Usage Reports (CUR) directly to visual nodes is also very handy for tagging audits.

The web canvas gets sluggish when rendering large accounts with 5,000+ resources simultaneously unless I apply account or VPC filters first. Also, the embedded PostgreSQL database on the appliance can fill up disk space quickly in environments with heavy autoscaling, so I had to manually expand our EBS volume. Having built-in disk retention alerts in the UI and a more intuitive visual builder for custom rules would be great improvements.

I have used the solution for 1-2 years.

I used manual tools like Lucidchart and Visio alongside custom Python/Boto3 scripts and AWS Config. I switched because manual diagrams couldn't keep pace with fast cloud deployments, and maintaining custom scripts across dozens of accounts became an unnecessary overhead.

Make sure to factor in the underlying EC2 compute and EBS storage costs. For multi-account workloads, don’t run it on the smallest instance. Give it at least an m5.xlarge and 100 GB gp3 volume so the database runs smoothly. The license cost usually pays for itself quickly once you use the waste-detection rules to delete idle IPs and abandoned snapshots.

I evaluated Lucidscale and a few SaaS-based CSPM platforms. I chose Hyperglance because our enterprise client policies strictly prohibited external third-party SaaS engines from scanning their environments. Hyperglance’s self-hosted, agentless model was the cleanest fit.

Deploy your cross-account IAM roles using CloudFormation StackSets across your AWS Organization from day one instead of adding accounts manually. Also, keep the appliance in a private subnet behind an internal ALB or VPN since it holds a full map of your cloud architecture.

What do you like best about the product?

Its real-time visualization of complex cloud architecture through interactive diagrams, which makes infrastructure much easier to understand, plus strong cost optimization insights that help identify and terminate unused resources to cut cloud spend. Users also highlight the intuitive interface and how it consolidates monitoring and troubleshooting into one centralized view instead of switching between multiple tools

What do you dislike about the product?

The most consistent complaint is a steep learning curve — many users note the platform feels complex, especially during initial setup and onboarding for new users. Some also find the interface cluttered, with so much on screen that it's hard to quickly locate what they need. Initial setup and configuration can take time, especially in larger environments, and more customization options for reporting and alerts would strengthen the platform.

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

It mainly solves the problem of visibility into complex, multi-cloud environments — it provides a centralized view of cloud resources and their relationships, which simplifies monitoring and troubleshooting, reduces the time needed to identify issues, and improves operational efficiency. It also unifies management across different cloud platforms and Kubernetes clusters in a single interface, so teams aren't jumping between multiple consoles to understand what's going on.
Beyond visibility, it helps with cost control — its cost optimization insights help identify and terminate unused resources, contributing to cloud cost savings — and with security/compliance, since it runs real-time scanning and automated compliance monitoring to surface misconfigurations, vulnerabilities, and excessive IAM access
