LJ
Medical professor at University of Lamar
Resource management in neuroscience has become faster and data-driven and now supports better studies
From my experience now, Archera has a very good program and useful tools. It is great, but as I said earlier, you can show more through social networks, sites, or training to help people use these tools. Formation is more specific. How can people such as me study and learn more about your program? Initially, they are very happy with Archera, which I appreciate. But perhaps if we can use the tool with more than one group of people and have shared information, that would be very good. If you understand me, it is about training and allowing more people to use it simultaneously. I see that when they are using it in their department, this group has maybe ten or twelve people who know about it. When I saw that, I thought it was incredible, and I want more information about it. They have given me information, but I want to learn by myself.

Sr.Devops engineer at Scaler
Automated cost controls have cut cloud waste and free our team to focus on new projects
CAST AI can be improved in that automation policies require careful tuning. Sometimes it can be confusing for non-technical people or managers who are not familiar with technical details. However, it is good for technical people who are already into DevOps or cloud engineering. Spot strategies may need adjustment for sensitive workloads. The reporting and UI part can be somewhat better. Technical support can also be improved. Documentation is somewhat unclear sometimes, but not everywhere. There are many pros here, including easy onboarding, simple deployment, and excellent Kubernetes visibility, strong spot instance automation, and automated right-sizing. These features are very good for our organization because they reduce a lot of cost and reduce a lot of manual effort. However, some things can be improved, such as automation policies that require careful tuning and may need somewhat more help. Spot strategies can be improved, and some UI and documentation can also be improved.

"In the last Q2 result, because of using CAST AI, we have reduced our manpower, money, and cost by 20 to 30%, which indicates substantial funding reduction."
"CAST AI's machine learning algorithms that listen to the data generated by the cluster in order to optimize the workloads are among the best features offered."
 

Cons

"From my experience now, Archera has a very good program and useful tools. It is great, but as I said earlier, you can show more through social networks, sites, or training to help people use these tools."
"Maybe there are some tiny improvements regarding the UI, the configuration aspect, or integration capabilities."
"We don't have issues. We discussed with them that we wanted to have other clouds implemented with us, and they have been very helpful, going step by step in solving that issue."
"I would like to see more granular reporting, deeper cost allocation insights, and additional customization options for optimization policies in CAST AI."
"The limitations of CAST AI include reporting and customization options."
"CAST AI can be improved by managing the role-based access control better."
"Perhaps improving the documentation a little would allow it to reach that rating, which has benefited me regarding that specific focus."
"To improve CAST AI, I would like to see more granular reporting, deeper cost allocation insights, and additional customization options for optimization policies."
"CAST AI could be improved by adding some AI agent capabilities."
"I would like to see CAST AI improved with deeper and more intelligent answers and solutions, along with additional optimization and customization options."
"The reason I did not give it a perfect score is that I would still prefer to see more advanced cost reporting and workload-level analytics."
