Enterprise governance has transformed how we automate terraform and manage policy as code
Scalr's UI and documentation could be more intuitive, especially for first-time users. During onboarding, I identified the need for improved documentation, especially for first-time users navigating various challenges, which has led to some struggles in finding the right answers in the documentation. Better search capabilities and more comprehensive documentation that is easy to navigate would be beneficial.

Improves cloud cost control and accountability but could explore further enhancements
The most valuable features of this solution include the drive for accountability because we can allocate cloud costs back to specific business units or teams through showback and chargeback. Additionally, reduced waste is achieved because we can identify unused or underutilized resources and receive recommendations for resizing instances. VMWare Tanzu CloudHealth's unified dashboard helps streamline cloud management practices by unifying everything needed in one dashboard, such as metrics, instance workings, machines, and servers. All of this in just one dashboard is very helpful to improve agility and resolve issues, especially for the workloads. VMWare Tanzu CloudHealth helps manage compliance risks by preventing threats, stopping attacks, detecting threats, and securing workloads or endpoints where customers will be using the endpoints. The positive impact on my organization is substantial because we can reduce waste, optimize expenses, drive accountability, and secure the budget from unnecessary cloud costs.

"We are able to create an internal price of the product that we can then sell to clients. We get the cost plan at a good discount and then resell it with a mark up to our enterprise-level clients. This flexibility in pricing is one of the solution's best features."
"It's stable. For report presentation, it's been fast."
"VMWare Tanzu CloudHealth's unified dashboard helps streamline cloud management practices by unifying everything needed in one dashboard, such as metrics, instance workings, machines, and servers."

Cons

"Scalr's UI and documentation could be more intuitive, especially for first-time users."

"If you are working with the OS you need help and other connectors to get more information."
