Cost dashboards have improved budgeting control and now need deeper predictive insights
The best feature of AWS Tweaker is the splitting of cost allocation because customizing rules to assign cloud costs to specific units, business departments, and different application systems. It offers actionable recommendations regarding right-sizing of instances and reserved planning. For right-sizing, according to the load and requirement of the customer, AWS Tweaker specifies what cost allocation will be there. Using AWS Tweaker, we can manage our cost and route the traffic in an easy way. After we know that the cost is increasing or decreasing, with AWS Tweaker's help, we manage those things.

Provides timely financial insights and supports growth with some room to streamline complexity
We find QuickBooks' budget generation feature valuable but haven't really utilized that as much as we'd want to. It's something that we plan on utilizing next year. It helps save money and time, though I can't speak to specific amounts as I would be really guessing. We use the on-premise version of QuickBooks. We have utilized the third-party application synchronization. An example of a third party that QuickBooks integrates well with is Avalara AvaTax. On a scale of 1-10, I rate QuickBooks a 7.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"AWS Tweaker impacts us in many ways because we saved a lot of cost in our AWS services."
"Overall, I consider AWS Tweaker a practical and valuable solution for organizations looking to improve AWS cost governance, operational visibility, and resource optimization without introducing excessive complexity, providing centralized insights into cloud utilization and helping teams become more proactive in managing cloud efficiency, while there remains room for growth in areas like advanced analytics, automation depth, and broader enterprise integration."
"AWS Tweaker will literally show you that you have this number of unused IPs or your EC2 instances are on low utilization, so we can downgrade their compute and can save money."
"In the past three years, we were able to save approximately 30% overall costs."
"For anyone looking into AWS Tweaker, I would say that it is an excellent choice for those ready to transition from basic cloud bill paying to active financial ops management."
"AWS Tweaker has positively impacted my organization by saving money due to its cost prediction feature, which allows us to predict costs and directly allocate budgets for adding any instances in AWS, thus helping us reduce expenses."
"It is user-friendly, making it accessible for business owners who often handle their own bookkeeping."
"Valuable features include ease of use, compatibility with Windows, and the easily customizable platform."
"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from its reporting capabilities."
"It gave me excellent tracking of my finances."
"QuickBooks Online Payroll offers a range of online customizations and advanced features."
"Paperless record keeping has made accounting between various store branches easy, and has made it easy to track cash flow and all transactions, which allows for quick determination of profit or loss."
"There are valuable security features including software access security (login password), data backup (getting all transactions and data from the previous bookkeeper), and an audit trail that is available when changes are questioned."
"QuickBooks is easy to use because a normal person can also do accounting, bookkeeping, and everything."
 

Cons

"AWS Tweaker could benefit from deeper predictive optimization and customization, as the gap exists for complex scenarios."
"I would rate the technical support of AWS Tweaker around seven out of ten because the response time sometimes has delays, but it is acceptable and there is no problem with it."
"I suggest deeper support for managed services because many optimization tools focus heavily on EC2 and ignore services like RDS, ElastiCache, or MQ."
"One area where AWS Tweaker could improve is in expanding its advanced analytics and predictive optimization capabilities, especially for organizations managing highly complex multi-cloud or large-scale enterprise environments, while the platform could also benefit from additional customization options in dashboards and reporting to provide teams with more flexibility in visualizing operational and financial data, and another improvement area could be deeper automation and remediation workflows where automation recommendations can be transformed into controlled automated actions with stronger governance and approval mechanisms, and I think continued UI refinement and broader integration support with other enterprise tools would enhance the overall user experience and operational efficiency."
"I have not seen a return on investment, nor can I share relevant metrics such as money or time saved or fewer employees needed."
"AWS Tweaker is still evolving and has a smaller market presence compared to the major FinOps platforms."
"In terms of expansion, we stopped using QuickBooks POS at some point because you can’t scale. We couldn’t scale to more than 32 locations when the business grew. The scalability, support and price could be improved."
"As of right now, you cannot edit secondary lists in a batch feature."
"The customer response team is slow and sometimes causes the user to have a loss."
"Regarding improvements or enhancements in QuickBooks, there is limited customization that QuickBooks Online supports regarding reports. It's too rigid for complex financial analysis."
"The area that I don't use as much is the area about reconciliation with the bank accounts. I do all of that manually. So, the area that they can probably improve upon is just better reconciliation with the bank accounts."
"The pricing of QuickBooks should be more budget-friendly."
"Yes, it crashes from time to time. The online version has a lot of bugs, but it is never bad enough to hamper production."
"It would be beneficial to enhance inventory and manufacturing features, as it currently depends on third-party applications like Fishbowl Inventory to address these specific needs."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"QuickBooks is an amazingly priced solution since it's a very cheap product, making it so good for small organizations since you can get a lot out of it without paying a large amount."
"They're trying to catch up with more expensive platforms, so they switched to a subscription model, which makes it even more expensive."
"The pricing is considered reasonable and reflects the value provided, falling neither in the extremely expensive nor very cheap category."
"The tool's pricing is extremely reasonable."
"When I first started, the only other options were the very expensive programs. QuickBooks Desktop you can find anywhere between $200 and $300 on Amazon or Costco."
"Regarding pricing, QuickBooks needs to make its point-of-sale system more affordable to onboard more small businesses. Many retail stores need a retail ERP, and QuickBooks POS is a good option. The pricing is a barrier for some businesses. If QuickBooks offered a more affordable package, it would be easier for businesses to choose QuickBooks POS and get the benefits of a retail ERP. It also gives you discounts."
"The price point is higher because you are paying for a whole year in advance. They recently moved to subscription pricing."
"It is relatively expensive."
