Find out in this report how the two Cloud Cost Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI.
It'd be very easy to save at least 10 to 20% costs from cloud spend just by utilizing the features of right-sizing or commitments management that Cloudability offers.
We save time by making the reporting easier.
With 20 reports every month, that's 80 hours saved, equating to two man-weeks per month, or $8,000 in savings based on a $100 hourly rate for my architect.
We suggested they proceed with CoreStack, and after onboarding it to our offering, within three months, we received positive feedback from customers that we were able to reduce some of their costs.
It generates value addition on top of the Trusted Advisor report, which saves major effort for our resources.
The customer support from Cloudability is great.
Cloudability's customer support is adequate, and I would rate it an 8 on a scale of 1 to 10.
CoreStack has positively impacted my organization by saving hours of time for reporting—for example, the governance report which my employees used to take at least four hours for one customer.
I have interacted with CoreStack's customer support, and we managed to obtain a technical demo from their team for my team from time to time.
Cloudability's scalability is excellent because it can link with as few as one cloud account to thousands of cloud accounts, so there are no issues there.
It generates and captures metrics of your workload, which meets our requirements all the time.
We haven't encountered any issues regarding scalability; the SaaS platform easily accommodates our growth.
I've found that Groups is basically unusable because if it can't be used everywhere, you would have to run both group-based access control and direct user-based access control at the same time, which doesn't make any sense.
I believe that automating all manual processes in Cloudability would be beneficial, providing a proactive prescriptive analysis on what needs to be done to lower costs.
It would be beneficial if we could use resource tags to provide more fine-grained visibility.
The recommendations made in CoreStack to delete a machine have the potential to generate major cost savings.
We need more security features, particularly since the market is increasingly demanding better security tools for cloud management platforms, including cloud security posture assessments.
Adding features to automate tasks at the operations level could help provide better visibility across the cloud for our operational engineers.
Compared to the rest of the industry, they may be a little more expensive than some other FinOps tools.
My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing is that it is straightforward and has flexible pricing based on workload consumption.
I believe has been competitively priced across the market.
The forecasting feature has helped me understand how the resources are utilized and how the cost is burned, and then I use it to make changes to keep the cost in control.
The Views feature is also beneficial because lots of teams may use Cloudability within an organization, allowing users to segregate data to particular Views so they are only looking at what's relevant to them.
I find the reports to be extensive and elaborate, and I get whatever information I require.
The single pane of glass for multi-cloud cost optimization helps me day-to-day by bringing a lot of operational excellence; it saves a lot of time because rather than going to each and every account or multi-cloud portal, which takes a lot of time, having everything on a single pane of glass increases efficiency, delivers results in less time, and provides clear reporting that can be shared with the customer in PDF or CSV formats.
The best features CoreStack offers are primarily the recommendations for cost optimization for RDS and EC2 machines.
For example, from AWS, it provides visibility on EBS volumes that are not being used, and it gives recommendations to delete them and save some cost.
