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 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.
