Gained clear cost visibility and forecasting but still needs finer insights using resource tags
Cloudability offers excellent features including trends, graphs for cost utilization, and forecasting capabilities. 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. Cloudability has positively impacted my organization as it helps us understand cost utilization, make corrections, and understand the forecasting of the cost. It has made reporting much easier.

Provides recommendations regarding how cost and consumption can be adjusted, but the reporting and analytic capabilities are very limited
We are not happy with the product’s reporting capabilities. We are planning to change the solution. The security compliance feature doesn’t give much data because CloudCheckr has done a majority of its development on AWS. The majority of our clients are on Microsoft Azure. There are a lot of features and information available for Amazon, but not for Azure. The tool wasn't meeting our expectations. The reporting and analytic capabilities are very limited. There's no ability to do scheduled email reports. The report could only be sent to a single email address. The tool was not very usable. We had multiple clients and tasks to work with.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We use the product to get a detailed level of transparency on the cloud strengths."
"Transparency and visibility are the key features."
"The most crucial feature in reducing my cloud costs has been the rightsizing recommendations, along with the dashboards that track reserved instance spending coverage and utilization. As for Cloudability's integration with our existing cloud infrastructure, it's not integrated directly into our AWS infrastructure but rather reads and pulls data from it, providing valuable insights and analysis for cost management."
"The pricing isn't too expensive."
"Cloudability has positively impacted my organization as it helps us understand cost utilization, make corrections, and understand the forecasting of the cost."
"Cloudability takes care of identifying and managing the cloud."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its ability to create reports and dashboards."
"Cloudability's customizable alerts help me maintain budgetary goals by providing recommendations and alerts on slot usages."
"The solution is scalable for our purposes."
"CloudCheckr has impacted my organization positively by making things easier and saving time, approximately three hours a week."
"The most valuable feature of CloudCheckr CMx High Security is granular reporting. Additionally, the user interface is easy to use."
"It will automatically suggest areas for optimization."
"It's one of the leading players for cloud optimization. It's hard to find anything better."
"The solution is mostly stable."
"The recommendation section is pretty helpful."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
 

Cons

"The dashboard needs to include more graphs per team to show what individual teams are spending in a given time period."
"Enhancements could be made in the user interface and customization, and leveraging GenAI would be an area for improvement in Cloudability."
"Cloudability needs to focus on more cloud providers."
"I would like the API functionality to improve. The update time after uploading data could also be improved."
"There are also some limitations with the dashboards and data representation in Cloudability."
"They can improve the custom range of the network."
"Cloudability needs to improve on data collection from cloud sources."
"My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing was adequate, but it could be made better."
"The solution needs to work better with larger capacities of data."
"Many features still need to be implemented in this tool."
"CloudCheckr CMx High Security is complex. There are a lot of menus, and if you do not know what you are looking for you can get lost. However, the interface is self-explanatory. It's easy to understand where to go to get what you want."
"Self-healing could be a bit smoother and a bit cleaner, easier to access and more functional. That would help."
"The performance of the tool really needs to be improved."
"The reporting and analytic capabilities are very limited."
"What needs to be improved in CloudCheckr CMx High Security is integration. All the clouds are going quite fast, for example, all the cloud providers: Microsoft, Google, etc. CloudCheckr CMx High Security is good with AWS, no doubt about it, but with Azure and Google Cloud, I find that the solution is slow in that direction. If the vendor planned for CloudCheckr CMx High Security to be automated just for AWS, then it does make sense. If not, if the vendor is also targeting good integration with Google and Microsoft, then CloudCheckr CMx High Security integration needs improvement, in particular, it has to be faster. At the moment, its integration with Azure is not as good as its integration with AWS. With GCP, integration is nowhere."
"The solution must improve its user interface."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It justifies the cost and is worth it."
"The price of the license or the usage is a percentage of the top consumption. So it varies from year to year."
"Cloudability is a bit expensive."
"My team is one of the most expensive teams, and we look at it quite a bit. We have probably easily saved around $400,000 USD a year."
"We have seen ROI with the reserved instances, and having the ability to predict what reserved instances you can get. We can save tens of thousands of dollars, and hundreds of thousands of dollars in some cases."
"The cost is on par with other providers."
"The solution is reasonably priced."
"A license is needed to use CloudCheckr CMx High Security, but because we are a managed service provider, the price of the license would vary. It depends on the type of cloud users we have, for example, it would be some type of percentage or monthly billing, etc."
