Cloud Ops Lead at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
Gained multi-cloud cost visibility and have optimized spend with detailed reports and rightsizing
The IAM feature is something that we struggle with using. IBM, the company that runs Cloudability, released the Groups feature back in the summer of 2025. While Groups can be used in some parts of the tool, it can't be used across the entire tool. 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. The Groups feature has improved over time, but it's still not something we feel we can use on an everyday basis, so the IAM section remains an issue right now. Most of the tool is very well-functioning and developed, and that's the only real improvement area that we've seen.

Cloud Ops Lead at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
Unified cloud cost views have improved anomaly detection and enabled proactive budget control
The right sizing feature is okay. It could be used, but I feel its functionality isn't as strong as the cloud-native solutions, so GCP, AWS, and Azure. They all have better right sizing capabilities, so you probably wouldn't carry out right sizing from Finout. You'd want to do it directly in the cloud platforms. The right sizing feature needs more development. Also, the reservations analysis feature isn't quite detailed enough as it should be. If you're making purchasing decisions based off of a cloud tool, it's probably better right now to do it directly through the cloud-native tooling rather than through Finout. Those are the two features where I feel they could be improved. It's a great tool, but it does have those two areas of improvement in the right sizing and the reservation sections. If those sections were functioning very well and were very deep, then I would give it a ten out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It provides us visibility, then we can turn around and can give the leadership team more information, which we could not previously give them."
"One of the standout features of the solution is its groups and views functionality. The solution is highly-stable. The solution is highly-scalable. The customer support is good. They can be easily contacted. The initial setup is straightforward. It's an excellent tool, especially when dealing with multiple clouds. It streamlines the process, eliminating the need to check each cloud individually."
"Each user can have their own dashboard that they want to consume. Instead of having to share one dashboard for multiple users, you can create individual views for each user to view, and that view will contain only their own accounts, which allows for separation of data."
"All the tagging and mapping, which helps to create some virtual tags are useful 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."
"It has already given us insight into how to optimize. So, we are now ramping up steadily its usage."
"The tool helps us to resize on AWS correctly."
"The sizing recommendation will look, and say, "You are only using this at 80%," then recommend a better fit for you."
"In terms of money saved, organizations could very easily save anywhere from ten to thirty percent of their cloud costs."
 

Cons

"There are also some limitations with the dashboards and data representation in Cloudability."
"They can improve the custom range of the network."
"We have dealt with a few technical support people where we ask for one thing and they might not deliver straightaway."
"Right now, what we're doing is we are manually putting the data in it, which is something which we don't like about Cloudability."
"My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing was adequate, but it could be made better."
"There is always room for improvement in education and training."
"Right now, what we're doing is we are manually putting the data in it, which is something which we don't like about Cloudability."
"Cloudability needs to focus on more cloud providers."
"The right sizing feature is okay. It could be used, but I feel its functionality isn't as strong as the cloud-native solutions, so GCP, AWS, and Azure."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Cloudability is a bit expensive."
"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."
"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."
"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."
