Centralized cost governance has enabled accurate Kubernetes and SaaS spend allocation
The best features in my experience with Finout are the MegaBill, combining multiple cloud providers and SaaS tools into the consolidated dashboard. Virtual Tagging, Kubernetes cost allocation, cost anomaly detection, and custom dashboards are all valuable features. Virtual Tagging paired with the MegaBill concept completely resolved our historic tagging gaps. If a legacy resource lacks physical AWS tags, we can virtually tag it in seconds inside Finout to fix our cost attribution immediately. The governance capabilities of Finout are very solid. Virtual tagging rules allow us to enforce strict cost boundaries. From a security standpoint, it connects using secure, read-only IAM roles and digests AWS cost and usage reports, meaning it does not pose an operational risk to our live application environments.

Simple to set up with helpful for cost management and good reliability
The only issue I faced was a while ago. My card was debited, or rather it was showing as debited when in actuality, it did not debit my card. After six months, they came back with back billing. Somebody should have verified the billing and immediately informed us. So yeah, However, six months is too late to identify such fault sightings. 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. Especially when I look at a previous month's billing or usage across services. It's better to show the services which are used, not everything.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We have achieved a twenty to thirty percent reduction in total cloud and SaaS waste by identifying orphaned resources and optimizing underlying third-party licenses, and we also saved hours of engineering time previously spent manually building cost allocation spreadsheets every month."
"In terms of money saved, organizations could very easily save anywhere from ten to thirty percent of their cloud costs."
"We have achieved a twenty to thirty percent reduction in total cloud and SaaS waste by identifying orphan resources and optimizing underutilized third-party licenses."
"We achieved approximately thirty to forty percent reduction in total cloud and SaaS waste by identifying orphan resources and optimizing underutilized third-party licenses."
"Finout paid for itself within the first quarter by exposing several forgotten high-compute database instances and misconfigured data pipelines that were draining budget needlessly."
"It is a stable product."
"We are using Google Cloud instances and Google Cloud Functions, which are great, and we've been using BigQuery, Pub/Sub, and Firebase, making it very helpful for cost management."
"What I like most about this solution is that it's easy."
"We use Google Cloud Billing to pay for or renew the license of our Google Workspace products."
 

Cons

"While the visibility features are top-notch, I would like to see more actionable, automated cost optimization recommendations, and I would also love to see more advanced cost forecasting models."
"The right sizing feature is okay. It could be used, but I feel its functionality isn't as strong as the cloud-native solutions, so GCP, AWS, and Azure."
"Finout's user interface is dense with data, which is great for power users, but simplifying the dashboard creation wizard for non-technical team managers would speed up adoption across the company."
"While its visibility features are top-tier, I would appreciate seeing more actionable, automated remediations and guardrails similar to tools that can actively scale down infrastructure automatically."
"The billing process is strange. It should be automatic."
"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."
