Pros
"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.""The initial setup is very easy."

More AWS Savings Plans Pros →

"This solution is fast and very easy to understand, even if you are not a technician.""The product is easy to use in terms of monitoring all the environments. It works for multiple clouds.""The solution is good for cloud cost management.""The solution is useful for cloud transparency and visibility in reports and dashboards that I have generated, especially the pre-populated dashboards.""The pricing is rather competitive right now.""We are able to create an internal price of the product that we can then sell to clients. We get the cost plan at a good discount and then resell it with a mark up to our enterprise-level clients. This flexibility in pricing is one of the solution's best features.""We use dashboards quite heavily, but one of the features that have really stood out is some of the policies we've created to alert us of particular situations.""It's stable. For report presentation, it's been fast."

Some features just simply aren't on offer. The solution needs to offer more product milestones.""They should provide information or tools to tune the cloud resources according to the environment size.""CloudHealth needs to start building out Turbonomics-types of features that help the customers who are using CloudHealth really understand everything down to the server level, the virtual machine level."
