Automated governance has eliminated shadow spend and now provides clear multi-cloud accountability
Flexera Cloud Cost Management could improve by modernizing the user experience, as many users find the interface feels a bit dated compared to cloud-native competitors such as Vantage or CloudHealth. Another suggestion is to deepen the AI-driven auto-remediation; Flexera Cloud Cost Management is excellent at providing recommendations, but it still requires a manual click to approve or a custom script to execute an action. I suggest simplifying Flexera Cloud Cost Management SaaS platform because Flexera Cloud Cost Management's special sauce is software asset management. Integrating those on-prem licenses with cloud usage can still be complex to set up for a user.

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.
