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.

Pros

"I find the forecasting feature particularly valuable as it helps predict future expenses."
"Hyperglance: Up to 5000 Resources [Pay as you go] provided a visual representation of our cloud resources and usage, showing which EC2 instances were underutilized or overprovisioned, and recommended resizing the instances based on actual usage, which led to a reduction of 30% to 35% in cloud spending."
"Hyperglance provides visibility that creates a unified view of the entire cloud system, allowing us to debug much faster than we were able to initially."
"Hyperglance provides all these, but the configuration and use depend on your goals."
"Hyperglance has helped us save on cost, improve efficiency, and reduce manual work while enabling real-time compliance checks with very good features."
"The best features Hyperglance offers in my experience are real-time 3D visualization, FinOps and cost optimization, no-code automation, and unified cloud view."
"Hyperglance has improved our organization by giving us a single view of all resources across GovCloud, helping us quickly identify misconfigurations, maintain compliance, and reduce manual work that used to take hours."
"Hyperglance on the Up to 3,000 Resources Pay as You Go plan has improved our organization by giving us a much clearer visibility into our cloud infrastructure."

Cons

"While there is always room for improvement, any needs for enhancement depend on specific requirements at the time. Currently, I cannot pinpoint any specific improvements needed."
"One disadvantage of AWS Cost Explorer is that you cannot filter too much. You cannot filter data by more than one variable."
"The current limitations in Hyperglance: Up to 5000 Resources [Pay as you go] are heavily focused on cloud environments and may not offer the same visibility in hybrid infrastructure."
"The learning curve can be a challenge for new users, which is something that can be improved."
"Hyperglance could be costly for someone with simple infrastructure."
"Hyperglance can be improved by providing a less steep learning curve."
"The learning curve can be a challenge for new users, which is something that can be improved."
"One area where Hyperglance could improve is performance speed when dealing with very large environments, as sometimes the visual maps take longer to load."
"From my perspective, Hyperglance can only improve its UI/UX design. They can improve their dashboard as well, as their dashboard has a lot of customization limits, so they can improve it."
