Flexible and a good solution for user with different environments
The setup was generally easy. The most complex aspect was configuring the VPN. While not overly difficult, it was more challenging compared to setting up other VPNs. However, once we resolved the initial VPN configuration issue, everything has been smooth sailing. It's a matter of familiarity. Initially, the technology is unfamiliar, but with experience, configuration becomes easier. Deployment time: We didn't have any problems. We determined the implementation date, considered the transition for ourselves and our users, and it went smoothly. Maintenance: There isn't much required. If the stability, resolution, and capacity planning are correct for our needs, or if we need to expand storage, then maintenance is mostly handled by our banking team.

Improved cloud cost governance has enabled precise budgeting, monitoring, and waste reduction
For North Cloud's improvement, I would suggest enhancing its AI capabilities, adding advanced AI/ML features, improving real-time cost tracking to reduce the delay between cloud usage and dashboard updates, enhancing custom reporting with a more flexible report builder, drag-and-drop functionality, SQL support, and the ability to create custom KPIs per unit, as well as deeper cloud integrations beyond Azure, AWS, and GCP to Kubernetes cost tracking, improving tagging governance, and providing automatic detection of missing and incorrect cloud tags, plus AI-based tagging recommendations and a better user experience with more modern and interactive dashboards for easier navigation for non-technical users. For needed improvements, I would add that there should be easier navigation for non-technical users for the financial team and a simplified onboarding for new users, along with advanced alerting systems, smart alert thresholds using historical trends, predictive alerts, and multi-channel notifications via Slack, Teams, email, and PagerDuty.

Pros

"It's a no-brainer, basically, it does all the work for you and gives you the optimum solution you have to accommodate your company even within future variabilities and changes you may do."
"The initial setup is very easy."
"AWS is consistently innovating and releasing new products and features."
"The most valuable feature of AWS Savings Plans is we can discuss budgets briefly during our confirmation process since we are aware of our usual consumption patterns. Creating budgets in this regard would be beneficial, as it would allow us to consume only what we need, without including reserve instances that do not serve our purpose."
"North Cloud has positively impacted my organization by delivering a strong ROI through reducing unnecessary cloud spending and achieving 10 to 30% in cloud cost savings by optimizing the environment, reducing idle resource wastage, improving budgeting accuracy, enabling faster identification of cost spikes, and fostering better financial accountability across teams."
"North Cloud is super valuable in just allowing us to focus on where we add the most value to our organization and not have to worry about operational overhead such as cost savings plans."
"North Cloud has positively impacted my organization by reducing our AWS bill by 15%."
"Since using North Cloud, we have been able to save around 25% in costs, and in terms of time, it has saved us around 15% as well."
"North Cloud has been a great partner in helping us navigate cloud cost savings."
"North has been an excellent partner in managing our AWS costs."
"North Cloud was able to get us access to savings plans that cut approximately 20% from our monthly AWS costs."
"North Cloud has also helped us cut costs by 21 percent because we only pay for what we use and receive recommendations from the platform."
 

Cons

"The most complex aspect was configuring the VPN."
"The visibility of AWS Savings Plans could improve."
"In the future, it would be interesting if there could be a combination of Savings Plans and some Reserved Servers."
"For North Cloud's improvement, I would suggest enhancing its AI capabilities, adding advanced AI/ML features, improving real-time cost tracking to reduce the delay between cloud usage and dashboard updates, enhancing custom reporting with a more flexible report builder, drag-and-drop functionality, SQL support, and the ability to create custom KPIs per unit, as well as deeper cloud integrations beyond Azure, AWS, and GCP to Kubernetes cost tracking, improving tagging governance, and providing automatic detection of missing and incorrect cloud tags, plus AI-based tagging recommendations and a better user experience with more modern and interactive dashboards for easier navigation for non-technical users."
"I'm not really sure how North Cloud can be improved, but if I had to pick something, maybe some integrations with Slack or something, because it can be a bit difficult to jump around different panels."
"I think North Cloud can be improved by enhancing what we call client support."
"Support needs improvement as it is very limited to one language."
"I think North Cloud could be improved with additional savings for more AWS services."
