Pedro H. - PeerSpot reviewer
CEO at a tech services company with 11-50 employees
Has delivered measurable savings and supported deeper cost visibility with strong best-practice alignment
Of all the tools I tested, this one gave me the greatest granularity and the best indications of where to focus my efforts. They create their own best practice rules and deliver everything ready for me to implement. I have been applying it along with the principles of the FinOps Foundation and I am getting great results. The product also receives constant upgrades, with new features for each technological advancement. They even released support for OpenAI, MongoDB Atlas, and a more modern web interface.

Cloud Ops Lead at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
Centralized multi-cloud cost insights have driven smarter reporting and proactive anomaly control
In terms of improvements for CloudZero, I felt there could be potential improvements in their budget section. I have used other tools before where the budget feature is a little easier to use in terms of the UI. I also found updating their business mappings quite difficult. When I first started using the tool, one of the first things demonstrated was a YAML config file that was thousands of lines long, which had to be updated and pushed for changes to occur within CloudZero. I would like a feature where you could update elements directly through the UI, as I understand they plan to bring that into the tool at a future date, since using that long YAML file can be very difficult and lead to errors. Although CloudZero's reporting feature is very good, I feel I have used tools that have more feature-rich qualities for their reporting features than CloudZero, which could be something valuable considering their reporting feature is also popular.
