Customer support and intuitive platform enhance cloud maintenance capabilities
Actually, going with the point that they have been in touch with us frequently, it has been great since we have been able to provide feedback to them to implement features that they didn't have before, and they have implemented them for us. Specifically, they didn't have a plan for only databases, and we told them that we only needed databases, so they created web plans for us to have databases only implemented in our organization. Also, 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.

Centralized multi-cloud cost insights have driven smarter reporting and proactive anomaly control
In terms of improvements for CloudZero, I felt there could be potential improvements in their budget section. I have used other tools before where the budget feature is a little easier to use in terms of the UI. I also found updating their business mappings quite difficult. When I first started using the tool, one of the first things demonstrated was a YAML config file that was thousands of lines long, which had to be updated and pushed for changes to occur within CloudZero. I would like a feature where you could update elements directly through the UI, as I understand they plan to bring that into the tool at a future date, since using that long YAML file can be very difficult and lead to errors. Although CloudZero's reporting feature is very good, I feel I have used tools that have more feature-rich qualities for their reporting features than CloudZero, which could be something valuable considering their reporting feature is also popular.
