Find out what your peers are saying about IBM, Nutanix, Apptio and others in Cloud Cost Management.
It'd be very easy to save at least 10 to 20% costs from cloud spend just by utilizing the features of right-sizing or commitments management that Cloudability offers.
We save time by making the reporting easier.
I have seen a return on investment of 100%, with significant cost avoidance and measurable savings within the first few months of deployment.
This part has been eliminated and has saved significant effort while ensuring all teams remain aligned at all times.
I would rate the technical support of Microsoft in general as nine out of ten.
The customer support from Cloudability is great.
Cloudability's customer support is adequate, and I would rate it an 8 on a scale of 1 to 10.
The additional support ended up taking longer than expected, with responses that did not meet our need for detailed and technical assistance.
Sometimes support needs to be reached, but they are very responsive and supportive.
The customer support for CloudCheckr is fantastic.
Cloudability's scalability is excellent because it can link with as few as one cloud account to thousands of cloud accounts, so there are no issues there.
It scales well for MSPs and large enterprises, allowing for management of hundreds of accounts and tens of thousands of resources while retaining performance and visibility.
Customization features could be added for Azure Cost Management.
I've found that Groups is basically unusable because if it can't be used everywhere, you would have to run both group-based access control and direct user-based access control at the same time, which doesn't make any sense.
I believe that automating all manual processes in Cloudability would be beneficial, providing a proactive prescriptive analysis on what needs to be done to lower costs.
It would be beneficial if we could use resource tags to provide more fine-grained visibility.
Another area is drift analysis; there have been complaints about tracking optimization opportunities, such as how to track opportunities identified in January and whether they were resolved in February.
CloudCheckr is a powerful and feature-rich tool with abundant metrics.
An area where CloudCheckr can be improved is pricing.
The pricing part could be improved.
Compared to the rest of the industry, they may be a little more expensive than some other FinOps tools.
Overall, the pricing was quite convenient and represented good value for money.
Pricing is feature-tiered under the MSP licensing, and I would say the pricing was quite competitive and fair.
Azure Cost Management helps me in forecasting and knowing the expected budget.
The Views feature is also beneficial because lots of teams may use Cloudability within an organization, allowing users to segregate data to particular Views so they are only looking at what's relevant to them.
The forecasting feature has helped me understand how the resources are utilized and how the cost is burned, and then I use it to make changes to keep the cost in control.
I find the reports to be extensive and elaborate, and I get whatever information I require.
CloudCheckr has enabled an average cost saving of approximately 25% from the last year, and this occurred while also increasing the scale of production.
What makes CloudCheckr easy for me to use is its intuitive interface.
Another valuable feature is the multi-cloud overview, providing unified reporting across AWS and Azure while allowing us to create different types of dashboards based on who logs into the platform.
