subscription is costly, I can do all the operation with lambda and schedule all the tasks automatically, the only drawback is not having a nice GUI for my version.

Saves Money Simply
What do you like best about the product?

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We were paying for server time that we were not using and now we are not.
Easy to Use Interface and Affordable
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use interface. When you open the ParkMyCloud application you can set a schedule for the specific instance that you want running and for whatever timeframe you want. Short/Long, it is all customizable. Our team was spending a lot of time updating and creating scripts and functions to start and end our various instances. It was a lot of wasted time. With PMC, you can label your instances which means that anyone and everyone within the company can manage the schedule for all of the cloud servers being used.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the charges for the instances that our team created whether in use or not were often a topic when our finance team was involved. Which meant that someone may need to create special IAM permissions to limit the instances it bills on. One of the other issues I have heard is that the projected versus the actual savings is off due to various costs, and that is not considering the cost increases if the instance includes SQL licensing. I never saw this issue, but apparently you cannot forcibly shut down an instance on errors, although that problem is solved by AWS console which supports this by issuing two shutdown commands.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helped us save money with recommended on/off schedules, which are automatically created based on resource usage data. It was very easy for us to accept and apply those recommendations and start reducing our costs. We found that 7 out of 8 environments could be completely turned off for at least 12 hours per day. Some of our resources are customer-facing production accounts and they need to stay on 24×7, we also implemented those schedules and applied the other 80% elsewhere.
Experience in using Park My Cloud
What do you like best about the product?
I like the most in the website that I can schedule the shutdown and restart activity of n number of VMs in a single group.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike the contact support team. I tried to contact the park my cloud support team but wasnot able to contact them, I faced issues like when i click on contact support, it was showing me that my credentials were invalid, i tried many times but still can't reach the support team of park my cloud.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The problem of shutting down and restarting the VMs manually was solved by using the schedule system of park cloud. The benefit I received was to schedule a maintainence for a fixed timing which will automatically occur at the scheduling given every day. It reduces our manual efforts.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Its a good tool to use to reduce your manual efforts on scheduling any maintainence of restart or shutdown activity of your virtual machines.
Significant savings achieved with minimal effort.
What do you like best about the product?
We have been able to design custom schedules for unusual usage patterns, as well as the simple 9-5 cases. We also often make use of the easy 'temporary wake' functionality where we can wake something up from being parked temporarily whilst someone makes use of it, without having to remember to park it again afterwards. Previously people may have launched resources for a temporary use case and then forgotten to switch them off again, incurring significant costs. The site is also easy to use, making it easy to understand what a resource schedule covers and to see what is online at a given point in time. New users have gotten up to speed easily.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would probably like to see savings in my own currency. Although I'm billed in US dollars, it don't think in dollars. Some if the icons could probably do with tooltips too, to make them a bit easier to understand for new users. It would be useful to have month long cost projections against individual resources, as well as just the run rate for that resource.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We previously had lots of idle EC2 instances costing us a lot of money when they were not in use at night time or the weekends. Particularly development resources where the developers are only working office hours during Monday to Friday. We have saved tens of thousands of dollars by shutting down these resources at night without any loss of productivity.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
give it a trial and see how you get on, it will probably pay for itself before too long.
