First Class Customer Service with a Highly Customizable Solution
What do you like best about the product?
CloudZero's real-time interactive usage allows for high adoption across our teams. We are able to quickly identify emerging trends giving our users fast insights with clarity on where to take action. The Dashboarding capabitlites allow for highly customized views so that we can focus directly in on key areas that we want our engienering teams focused on. Lastly, it is important to call out that our onboarding experience was top notch. We have been beyond impressed with the level of customer support we have received, not just in answering our questions but it proactive forethought to consider new ways to deliver value for our company.
What do you dislike about the product?
The highly customized features do require a longer learning curve compared with other cloud tools. However, the payoff is well worth what the visualations are able to produce.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is helping us identify spend anomolies, budget exposures and targeted ways to address high spend areas with a more optimized approach.

Simple Visibility into Complex Cloud Environments
What do you like best about the product?
CloudZero has an easy to browse interface for visualizing and representing your Cloud Costs to your key stakeholders. On top of it's interface, are the customizations that make it simple to update Dimensions which would otherwise require tagging efforts to be previously performed. The CloudZero FAM, is the unsung hero of CloudZero, bringing so much value to the organization from planning, to building out dashboards, and helping us achieve our business objectives.
What do you dislike about the product?
CloudZero, while having capabilities to encorporate multiple key integrations with Cloud Providers, has enabled us to add more sources of billing data to CloudZero through the AnyCost Billing data ingestion, but it still has some maturing to do, to enable a better user experience.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
CloudZero is our single pane of glass for all of our Cloud costs, and simplifies breaking down even the most complicated cloud cost visibility issues. This has greatly improved my companies capability to save costs, by identifying the key areas of costs that can be reduced. The cost of CloudZero has already been paid down by all of the savings we have been able to achieve, and then some.
Brings intelligence to a maturing area of financial management
What do you like best about the product?
Focus on unit economics and understanding that "every engineering decision is a buying decision". It is not enough at this point to simply understand volume and cost related to your cloud spend. Rather, CloudZero focuses on the unit economics associated to that spend, using your own real-world business data. What is your cost per "widget"? How do you optimize that cost per widget? This is where CloudZero excels beyond the competitors. The product provides you necessary context to make durable and data driven decisions.
What do you dislike about the product?
In our experience there have been no major issues with the product. That does not mean it is not perfect, however, the CloudZero team is top notch when it comes to seeking user feedback and actually doing something with it. Our feedback has resulted in numerous enhancements to meet our (and hopefully other customer) needs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
CloudZero helps me to understand the cloud financial impact of engineering and user driven decisions.
CloudZero gives us the speed and single view to access our data across multiple cloud providers.
What do you like best about the product?
Speed and ease of use. We have so few problems with training anyone on the platform, it's straightforward and fast. Single pane of glass view of all of our cloud environments (AWS/Azure/GCP). The click-through model works very well with very little need to jump to different modules or areas. Excellent support and engagement on configuration and features.
What do you dislike about the product?
Better built in dashboards to match the things like AWS's CUDOS/Cost Intelligence Boards would be really good. AWS Quicksight CID now supports Azure and GCP, so having those dashboards reflected in CloudZero would be incredible.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Full visibility so we can drive accountability and data-driven decision making.
No brainer spend on finops observability
What do you like best about the product?
Over the last twelve months we’ve made use of CloudZero to make huge savings to our cloud spend, make sustainable, meaningful changes to our engineering-spend culture, and to enhance our SaaS unit economics.
CloudZero is by far the best value software I buy here. Over the course of 12 months it’s almost inevitable that we break even with the savings we make against our subscription costs.
Finally, the team at CloudZero are a huge asset to us, it’s like having another team member keeping tabs on things. I have a fortnightly call with Mark Banz who always finds something I’ve missed, and Matt Manger was instrumental in gearing us up for success.

What do you dislike about the product?
It's a hard one. They replatformed from using quicksight to looker internally which broke a few bookmarks I had. The configuration yaml could be more intuitive but they provide great tooling and usually the AM is doing that anyway
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
- Quickly identify accidental spend (bugs) and rectify before the damage becomes too big. At Elliptic we process huge (TODO - how much) volumes of data on a daily basis, and our exposure to risk here is large.
- Identify opportunities for cost saving. To take a recent example, our compute spend has gone up, which we expect, but our compute savings plan is now constantly at 100%, which means we’re fully exposed to paying on demand prices for compute. Time to consider bolstering that savings plan.
- Put spend data directly into the hands of the engineers making real decisions on the ground, “shifting left” on cost culture and meaning we have less bugs, and less opportunities for saving, as we are more deliberate about spend up-front

Good finops tools
What do you like best about the product?
CLoudZero is easy to setup, easy to manipulate, and the pricing is not a percentage of your cloud expenses !
What do you dislike about the product?
For the moment the creation of custom report needs Cloudzero help

Give a large overview of our cloud expenses (GCP and AWS)

What do you dislike about the product?
Improving its Dashboard with more filter options would be great for us. We are running through resource utilization from different cloud providers & having more filters would ease our task. This is a minor enhancement suggestion. We are satisfied with the cost optimization features and recommendations offered by CloudZero for our cloud infrastructure.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
* Resource tagging is brilliant in CloudZero as it provides clear visibility of our cloud infrastructure and related expenses.
* CloudZero Dimension is an interactive utility inside its platform where we can effectively drill down our cost explorer & detect anomalies.
* It also unifies all our monthly costs in a custom data format which is helpful during presentations with our clients.
* Categorizing our cloud cost allocation is also straightforward, as we can group them based on value, insight or demands.
* Monthly assessment report is beneficial to highlight where we can optimize our cloud expenses & prevent overspending on unused/underused resources in our cloud environments.

That super cool that you can manage different kind of dashboards
What do you dislike about the product?
That would be better if you can expand the onboarding guide

Real time costs consumption
Useful solution that enables us to drilldown into AWS expense and also identify increases, etc
What do you like best about the product?
Ability to drilldown into AWS in a targeted way with the ability to work with a consultant to refine the different reports you use.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes data needs alignment, especially with consistent changes to your AWS enviroement. Ensuring things are aligned with the way accounting looks at something is something you must consistently work on.
