    CloudZero Cloud Cost Intelligence Platform

     Info
    Sold by: CloudZero 

    Overview

    CloudZero is a powerful cloud cost intelligence platform - built to provide visibility, insights, and savings to help drive profitable innovation.

    By aligning engineering and finance teams around metrics like cost per product feature, customer, and development team, CloudZero enables teams to manage spend, drive a culture of cost-efficient engineering, and improve cloud unit economics.

    Even without perfect tagging, customers can use CloudZero to ingest and allocate billing data, split up shared resources, track Kubernetes costs, track PaaS and SaaS costs (e.g., Snowflake, MongoDB, Databricks, Datadog, New Relic), and get a holistic view of total cloud spend.

    CloudZero applies unit cost telemetry for accurate cost-per-tenant measurements. Engineers can self-serve to explore cost data and receive alerts about trends and anomalies. Based on accurate unit cost metrics, organizations can drive go-to-market decisions, such as pricing and discounting.

    CloudZero can help answer questions like:

    • How are engineering changes affecting my systems' efficiency and my company's profitability?

    • Where are there immediate and continuous cost savings?

    • How do new product and feature releases impact cloud costs?

    • What's the cost per tenant of shared cloud resources?

    • How much do specific Kubernetes workloads cost?

    For complex orders or to discuss other product and service delivery options, please get in touch with sales@cloudzero.com .

    Highlights

    • Rapidly allocate cloud spend - including shared costs, Kubernetes, and untagged resources; combine AWS, PaaS, and SaaS spend.
    • Drive a culture of engineering cost accountability; surface trends, detect anomalies, and quickly investigate the root cause of cost issues.
    • Measure and improve unit cost metrics such as cost per customer, product feature, transaction, or team.

    What do you like best about the product?
    CloudZero's Kubernetes cost reporting is accurate and very helpful to show engineering teams their share of cluster costs.

    Cost Formation allows you to version dimensions/datasets. In addition, I can create dimensions much faster by defining the dimension in YAML.

    CloudZero seems much more intuitive to use than other cloud cost platforms

    The views are not as busy as other cost reporting platforms making it easier to read/use
    What do you dislike about the product?
    They need to improve their UX. I would like to add users via an API call.

    We would like to see usage in gigabytes with costs for certain AWS services as well as for New Relic costs.

    They need to improve their budgets so you can sort and filter
    What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
    Helping with engagement with engineering teams and leadership
    Providing detailed cost dimensions/dataset to make better views. This is especially true in the Kubernetes space
    The ability to notify via Slack has helped with notifications to engineering teams and leadership. Notifications no longer go to the email spam folder
    Putting up soft spending boundaries with the use of budgets and budget notifications
