My advice for others looking into using CloudCheckr is to know what you want to accomplish with a cost analysis platform. If you are driving or reducing cost, maintenance, and overhead as you are spinning up a new service that is being added to your existing operational overhead, this is the tool that I think can do that very effectively because we could bring it up quickly in regards to how the overall function was and bring it into a use that fits within our infrastructure, adding value to speed up the process as we go forth and improve our cost model to our resources back to our financial department. This tool is the right tool, in my opinion, specifically with AWS. I have one additional thought about CloudCheckr: I would love to see it offer a cloud-agnostic FinOps dashboard single-pane-of-glass model that can allow the ability to bring all those costs into their proper homes and extract them so that we can use analytics against those cost models on an on-the-fly mode, which would be a great addition to the tool going forward. I would rate this product a nine out of ten.
A specific case where CloudCheckr has helped me reduce expenses or optimize resources is when we have machines that are well sized. CloudCheckr automatically suggests that we make a three-year reservation. By making a three-year reservation, the cost in Azure goes down to fifty percent. My advice to other people who are considering using CloudCheckr is that you can define or configure your own metrics within the platform. You should ignore the preconfigured panels or dashboards and always look for the information you need, configuring it to your needs, creating panels, and saving them as favorites. I give CloudCheckr an overall rating of seven out of ten.

CloudCheckr is deployed in my organization as pure SaaS. You connect it to your AWS accounts through IAM roles and it begins ingesting data. The cloud provider I use with CloudCheckr is AWS primarily. That's where about 90% of our infrastructure lives. I did not purchase CloudCheckr through the AWS Marketplace. We went direct and didn't come through the marketplace. On a scale of one to ten, I would rate CloudCheckr a seven. The AWS cost management side is probably a nine honestly. However, the Azure limitations drag it down and I think there are a few areas where it hasn't kept pace with how fast the cloud space evolves. It's still the best tool I've used for this job, though it's not perfect. I rate this review a seven overall.
The features of CloudCheckr I have not mentioned yet include the cost-saving recommendations, which are quite actionable. For a specific example of a customer where CloudCheckr's recommendations led to 15 to 20% savings, we recently onboarded a customer from a managed services standpoint who had multiple accounts in different cloud providers, AWS and Azure, accumulated over the years due to various acquisitions. There was initially no oversight of who was provisioning resources, what it cost each business unit, or where resources were deployed. Once we leveraged CloudCheckr and connected it to those different customer environments, we created a single dashboard to obtain a holistic view of their spending across AWS and Azure, allowing our team to save time and effort by reducing the need to go through each individual account. For the end customer, we identified idle and unused resources, categorizing those not used for the last 60 days. We identified all those resources, including public IPs, virtual machines, and storage. We also found many over-provisioned resources being utilized at only 30 to 40%. By leveraging the right-sizing recommendation, we successfully right-sized those resources, and the customer ended up saving roughly 20 to 25% using the platform. My advice for others looking into using CloudCheckr includes configuring tags and the chargeback mechanism early during onboarding to the platform, creating automated alerts for budget increases, aligning with security posture checks and compliance frameworks, and ensuring custom dashboards are created for different stakeholders accessing the platform. I would rate CloudCheckr a seven on a scale of one to ten.
CloudCheckr is quite good overall and does not need much improvement. Some aspects could be made more customizable, such as the dashboard and UI, and some features may be too advanced with a learning curve while lacking customization. Overall, CloudCheckr is a powerful and feature-rich tool with abundant metrics. CloudCheckr is an excellent product and a solid cloud management platform that effectively combines cost optimization, security, and compliance. I definitely recommend it to organizations seeking in-depth cost analysis, cost optimization, management of multiple accounts, or maturity in cloud governance. I rate this product a 9 out of 10.

We integrate this solution for our clients. I'm not sure if we have a specific business arrangement with the solution, however. I would recommend the solution to other organizations. It's a good tool, for the most part. For billing and invoicing for class optimization, and tasks like that, it's quite useful. Overall, I would rate the solution at a seven out of ten. I'd rate it higher, were it not for the performance issues we've experienced when dealing with bigger amounts of data.
