Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Transparency and visibility are the key features.""The pricing isn't too expensive.""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 support from IBM is fantastic""It provides us visibility, then we can turn around and can give the leadership team more information, which we could not previously give them.""The most valuable feature of the solution is its ability to create reports and dashboards.""The sizing recommendation will look, and say, "You are only using this at 80%," then recommend a better fit for you.""It has already given us insight into how to optimize. So, we are now ramping up steadily its usage."

Cons
"We would like them to have a linear regression, so we can be predictive for budgets, allocations, and the year's follow ups. We also want to have a longer window of analytics with better certainty that our workload will fit the model, not just in a two week window.""The dashboard needs to include more graphs per team to show what individual teams are spending in a given time period.""In general, I feel Cloudability wasn't able to support many resources.""We have dealt with a few technical support people where we ask for one thing and they might not deliver straightaway. It seems like they are a stretched across multiple customers.""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.""I wish there was a feature to temporarily remove certain recommendations from the list for teams that couldn't implement them immediately. I believe Cloudability could improve its automation functionality and enhance cost allocation modeling.""They can improve the custom range of the network.""Cloudability needs to improve on data collection from cloud sources."

More Cloudability Cons →

"Google Cloud Billing should have a more user-friendly interface.""When I want to analyze the information, it would be better, since Google knows what I have used, to only show those items for analysis purposes.""At times you will find that the computer engines are freezing or it's about to freeze without any notification or information and it's unable to diagnose where it is hung."
