What is our primary use case?
I have been testing Vantage Cloud Cost Platform for the last month for my own product and to use it in cost optimization.
I am testing Vantage Cloud Cost Platform to understand how it will help me leverage cost.
I am using Vantage Cloud Cost Platform for cost optimization for my current product, and I am getting a better idea.
I am currently using Vantage Cloud Cost Platform, and it is really positive, but I am hoping to get this feature in the future.
I was able to reduce my costs by approximately 50% and understand where the costing is since I started using Vantage Cloud Cost Platform. For instance, there was a hidden cost.
Integrating with Vantage Cloud Cost Platform helped me, as after integration, I was able to see where the cost was within 24 hours and reduce up to 60% of the costing.
What is most valuable?
The quick sign-up and the easy integration with Vantage Cloud Cost Platform is one of the best features, as I just need to set up a role.
Vantage Cloud Cost Platform has read-only permission and provides creation of a single role in my account, which is one of the edge cases.
What needs improvement?
One thing about Vantage Cloud Cost Platform is that some of the data they need to report includes custom routes.
Vantage Cloud Cost Platform should also provide integration for monitoring the data.
A more generic API would be needed and lower cost with Vantage Cloud Cost Platform, as right now it is costing me a few dollars a day without any usage. If the hit to the APIs can be reduced and you get a small amount, that should be sufficient.
There are many improvements that need to be made, and that is why I gave a rating of six and not ten, as it is a long path for the business.
