Cloud Ops Lead at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
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.

Cost visibility has improved and ongoing usage reveals several areas that still need refinement
One thing about Vantage Cloud Cost Platform is that some of the data they need to report includes custom routes. Vantage Cloud Cost Platform should also provide integration for monitoring the data. A more generic API would be needed and lower cost with Vantage Cloud Cost Platform, as right now it is costing me a few dollars a day without any usage. If the hit to the APIs can be reduced and you get a small amount, that should be sufficient. There are many improvements that need to be made, and that is why I gave a rating of six and not ten, as it is a long path for the business. Currently, it is on the POC part with Vantage Cloud Cost Platform. In terms of money, it offers consolidated billing and ensures that what we are exactly spending is included, so it helps to save money. However, since I have not been able to use it for long, I cannot share the exact number or percentage. I am using Vantage Cloud Cost Platform as it offers free integration till 100K users. Right now, except for the cost, they are billing in other services.
