Stable, straightforward to set up and does have good integration with various useful tools
The on-demand pipeline execution is something that we've had some challenges with for on-demand scheduling, however, we have some fairly complex use cases there. That said, we have had some problems getting that to work across a wide variety of use cases. Therefore, depending on the latency and the on-demand nature of it, they could do some improvement there. QuickSight is evolving pretty quickly. While I liked it, it integrates with it, it would help if they did more coordinated releases so that those features in their other products are improved and that those are available too. I'd like to see it coordinated or integrated with more of a data catalog. While there are some features there, the data governance and data cataloging, they touch on that, however, that's an important area of growth. It's becoming more and more important. That's why I would like to see more sophisticated and more complete data cataloging and data governance in that product. I know they're working on that. And of course, sometimes you have to go to half a dozen different AWS products before you get the thing you want. That said, I would like to see more data cataloging, more governance.

Centralized asset data has transformed how we manage licenses and make cost-saving decisions
One problem that we faced using Spot by Flexera is that in certain servers, the data was not being updated correctly, and we had a certain delay. For example, someone was using a computer, and then this user received a new one. In Spot by Flexera, we could see both computers, the old and the new one, but the system was not recognizing that the old one was no longer being used. We had a couple of IT assets that were not being used, and we had this information in our internal servers, but Spot by Flexera was not able to update on time. We had to fix this information manually.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"I like that it's integrated, and I also like that it works well with SageMaker, and the nice thing about AWS is it actually works well in combination with some of their other tools like QuickSight and SageMaker, and I've found that those workflows to be fairly seamless and easy to coordinate across their products."
"By using Spot by Flexera across a year, we were able to save more than 500,000 euros."
"My compute costs have reduced, capacity and production output have increased, and my overhead for maintaining custom scripts or doing some of the tasks manually has been saved."
"Spot has positively impacted our organization by automating cloud resource management, which has significantly cut costs and improved efficiency."
"Cost saving is the main benefit, and the manual effort required for reviewing and purchasing savings plans and other RIs is something we do not have to manage manually now, as we get automatic suggestions from Spot."
"The solution helps us to manage and scale automatically whenever there is a limit to the increase in the application workflow."
"The solution offers both block access and file access, making it a nice solution for customers."
 

Cons

"I'd like to see it coordinated or integrated with more of a data catalog."
"We haven't really seen an ROI. We're doing more with that product, however, probably not saving money."
"There are no particular areas for improvement I can identify."
"I have not seen a return on investment yet."
"The solution doesn't have support from OCI, and it should start working to onboard OCI."
"One problem that we faced using Spot by Flexera is that in certain servers, the data was not being updated correctly, and we had a certain delay."
