Has provided valuable cost insights but could improve in filtering options
AWS Cost Explorer is used to visualize, analyze, and manage spending on the cloud. It can also make a forecast on how much you will spend and gives you information about past costs you had in the cloud in various regions for various different tools. For example, you can see how much it will cost to use a specific product in the future. You can also set a timeline for how much you will use that product to see the effective amount of money you are going to spend. You can compare various tools in order to see which are the most suited tools for your needs and which are the most expensive. You can filter by region and by specific product in order to see which costs are the most important in your organization and cloud environment. You can identify what is not necessary and what you can reduce. It has many good features that you can use with best practices. You can integrate AWS Cost Explorer, and it gives you a better overview of all the related aspects to the costing part of your infrastructure. AWS Cost Explorer is beneficial because you can access a simple interface where you can get an overview of all the costs you have in the cloud environment. You can see which costs you can reduce and how you can move from a specific product to another product in order to reduce costs and improve other aspects. It depends on the specific needs of the organization, but the most important advantage AWS Cost Explorer gives you is the ability to have a clear understanding of your cloud spending.

Cost analytics have driven MSP savings and commitment coverage grows across client accounts
In my opinion, the best features DoiT offers are the deep cost analytics feature, which is really powerful because it helps give a cost breakdown and cool-level visibility as compared to the other competitors. From a commitment optimization standpoint, it really helps us with effective discount rates. The MSP multi-tenant management is another feature; there is definitely a clean separation between different client environments. You also have the functionality of role-based access controls, and DoiT gives us structured client reporting across the environment. I rely on the deep cost analysis and the multi-tenant management model the most in my day-to-day work because being an MSP, we manage multiple customers and work in a multi-tenant environment. DoiT provides a clear separation between different client environments. I also have a governance feature of control so we are able to restrict different users from accessing different environments they were not authorized to. The cost breakdown feature gives a detailed analysis of the environment. DoiT has positively impacted my organization by improving overall client retention through savings, which has helped us move from reactive billing support to proactive optimization. It has helped us structure quarterly reports showcasing quantifiable impact and has really enabled our value-add FinOps advisory services. Since I started using DoiT, it has increased the commitment coverage. We are able to handle more accounts and have achieved 15 to 30% cost optimization opportunities across different areas.
