Dev Ops Engineer at a construction company with 11-50 employees
I have seen a return on investment of 100%, with significant cost avoidance and measurable savings within the first few months of deployment.
Sr PreSales Cloud Architect at a outsourcing company with 10,001+ employees
I've seen a return on investment, as the savings are concrete, measurable, and they show up directly in the AWS bill.

Another area is drift analysis; there have been complaints about tracking optimization opportunities, such as how to track opportunities identified in January and whether they were resolved in February.
Sr PreSales Cloud Architect at a outsourcing company with 10,001+ employees
The data does not work in real time; rather, it takes between one and three days to show you the usage.
IT Director at Instituto de Innovacion Empresarial
Making one feature toggle or one set of feature toggles dependent on another one would allow us to turn them all on or turn them all off at one time.
Staff Software Engineer at a wholesaler/distributor with 10,001+ employees
I did not particularly like the rule area; there are many things to add into the rule to enable it, and I think we could make it easier or more customizable at the organizational level.

Sr PreSales Cloud Architect at a outsourcing company with 10,001+ employees
Centralized cloud costs have boosted savings while reporting and user experience still need work
The best features CloudCheckr offers include out-of-the-box security and compliance check features that provide over 35 different types of compliance checks at no cost, best practice checks, and alerts. Another valuable feature is the multi-cloud overview, providing unified reporting across AWS and Azure while allowing us to create different types of dashboards based on who logs into the platform. Additionally, from an MSP standpoint, there is good ease of deployment, especially the billing and chargeback functionality for a reseller or managed services provider. CloudCheckr has positively impacted my organization by helping us manage multiple customers and tens of thousands of resources while retaining performance and visibility due to its multi-cloud support. We do not have to worry about jumping from one platform to another, and the better MSP support is beneficial from a billing and chargeback automation standpoint. The integration in compliance helps identify missing areas within our customer environments and improves them. On average, it has helped us provide approximately 15 to 20% savings through right-sizing or idle resource elimination. These are some of the immediate cost savings our customers have experienced after implementing recommendations from the tool.

Has increased developer confidence by enabling safe production releases using targeted feature toggles
I wish we were using more targeting in our feature toggles and I wish we were using more feature toggles as well as feature toggle dependencies. Making one feature toggle or one set of feature toggles dependent on another one would allow us to turn them all on or turn them all off at one time. For improvements in LaunchDarkly, managing team members and access to those team members was challenging. We could add team members through Terraform and do it programmatically, and then modify it through the user interface. However, once we started modifying things through the interface, we weren't able to go back to using any configuration programmatically for the team members. It made it challenging to orchestrate team member management. The other aspect I wasn't particularly fond of was when they started adding AI to the interface and deployment interface. It reminded me of old school wizards when installing software and simplified the interface too much, removing some of the engineering control I preferred.
