AWS Cost Management [EOL] vs CloudCheckr comparison

"The initial setup wasn't complex at all."

"The tool's cost management feature provides a comprehensive view of AWS costs, allowing us to plan and make cost-effective decisions. With AWS Cost Explorer, we can perform cost planning, generate recommendations, and provide clients with suggestions for resizing. This feature includes data filtering and protection, offering users insights into spending patterns through AWS spending patterns and planning tools. The product is easy to learn."

"The product provides the ability to set cost limits and budgets for a set of resources on the network."

"I like the recommendation we get from AWS Cost Management to use a particular image or VM type."

"The budgeting tool of AWS Cost Management is the most valuable feature."

"All of the reporting features are very good, as they allow us to track monthly expenses and send relevant emails."

"The initial setup was straightforward. It's not complex at all."

"The stability and scalability are good."

"The best feature I like about CloudCheckr CMx High Security is its simplicity. I love that it's not rocket science to use the solution. Even if you're not familiar with the cloud, you can easily figure out how to use CloudCheckr CMx High Security. You can use AWS, you can use Azure, and you can use GCP with the solution because the integration is quite simple. You can also use multi-cloud with it, and you could see the billing part. You'll have complete visibility into your cost which I love about the solution. I also love that data on any security issues and vulnerabilities are available on the go with CloudCheckr CMx High Security. You don't need to do anything different. Just run the scan and you'll have all these open findings in the tool, in terms of the priority level, so if it's critical, it will tell you, "It's critical," and you need to fix it right away."

"CloudCheckr has impacted my organization positively by making things easier and saving time, approximately three hours a week."

"The solution is mostly stable."

"CloudCheckr has enabled an average cost saving of approximately 25% from the last year, and this occurred while also increasing the scale of production."

"The solution is scalable for our purposes."

"It will automatically suggest areas for optimization."

"It's one of the leading players for cloud optimization. It's hard to find anything better."

"The initial setup is straightforward."

"This program is not very scalable."

"We need finer-grained control over the roles and policies for users, specifying their permissions as to what they can look at."

"AWS Cost Management has fewer features compared to Azure Cost Management."

"There could be an option to build custom dashboards for the platform."

"Data transfer between S3 buckets within AWS incurs costs, especially when moving data from one bucket to another or downloading data."

"AWS could improve the compatibility with other products."

"I would like to see the forecasting models improved with AWS Cost Management."

"The solution needs to improve the communication mechanism available to the stakeholders."

"Some aspects could be made more customizable, such as the dashboard and UI."

"The reporting and analytic capabilities are very limited."

"Many features still need to be implemented in this tool."

"The performance of the tool really needs to be improved."

"The solution needs to work better with larger capacities of data."

"What needs to be improved in CloudCheckr CMx High Security is integration. All the clouds are going quite fast, for example, all the cloud providers: Microsoft, Google, etc. CloudCheckr CMx High Security is good with AWS, no doubt about it, but with Azure and Google Cloud, I find that the solution is slow in that direction. If the vendor planned for CloudCheckr CMx High Security to be automated just for AWS, then it does make sense. If not, if the vendor is also targeting good integration with Google and Microsoft, then CloudCheckr CMx High Security integration needs improvement, in particular, it has to be faster. At the moment, its integration with Azure is not as good as its integration with AWS. With GCP, integration is nowhere."

"CloudCheckr CMx High Security is complex. There are a lot of menus, and if you do not know what you are looking for you can get lost. However, the interface is self-explanatory. It's easy to understand where to go to get what you want."

"I was not satisfied with the customer support from CloudCheckr."

"We have signed a long-term contract with AWS. There are different service levels that will determine the level of support you have."

"The product is affordable."

"We get AWS Cost Management for free because we use AWS services."

"The tool's pricing depends on our services."

"AWS Cost Management is free to use."

"The solution is reasonably priced."

"A license is needed to use CloudCheckr CMx High Security, but because we are a managed service provider, the price of the license would vary. It depends on the type of cloud users we have, for example, it would be some type of percentage or monthly billing, etc."

"The cost is on par with other providers."
