Centralized multi-cloud cost insights have driven smarter reporting and proactive anomaly control
In terms of improvements for CloudZero, I felt there could be potential improvements in their budget section. I have used other tools before where the budget feature is a little easier to use in terms of the UI. I also found updating their business mappings quite difficult. When I first started using the tool, one of the first things demonstrated was a YAML config file that was thousands of lines long, which had to be updated and pushed for changes to occur within CloudZero. I would like a feature where you could update elements directly through the UI, as I understand they plan to bring that into the tool at a future date, since using that long YAML file can be very difficult and lead to errors. Although CloudZero's reporting feature is very good, I feel I have used tools that have more feature-rich qualities for their reporting features than CloudZero, which could be something valuable considering their reporting feature is also popular.

Need broader cloud savings but have reduced compute costs and extended financial runway
I have found the integration very seamless and easy. The best features North Cloud offers are easy onboarding integration and a non-invasive business model. I find the easy onboarding integration and non-invasive business model to be the best features because we were able to reduce spend on our AWS bill without using any internal employee hours and without worrying about any complicated account changes.
