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
Streamlined marketplace listings have empowered sales teams and simplify cross-cloud administration
Tackle Platform is an easy-to-use tool, which is good, but I imagine if the Alliance team ever wanted to migrate from Tackle Platform, it would be very complex to do that because all of our marketplace activity is deployed via this stack set owned by Tackle Platform. The lock-in feature is strong with Tackle Platform, which is a risk for people to consider if they were to use it. Additionally, I understand the pricing can be quite high, as they charge a platform fee plus a percentage of marketplace revenue generated. For organizations selling heavily through Tackle Platform, it could become quite expensive.
