Cloud Ops Lead at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
Gained multi-cloud cost visibility and have optimized spend with detailed reports and rightsizing
The IAM feature is something that we struggle with using. IBM, the company that runs Cloudability, released the Groups feature back in the summer of 2025. While Groups can be used in some parts of the tool, it can't be used across the entire tool. 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. The Groups feature has improved over time, but it's still not something we feel we can use on an everyday basis, so the IAM section remains an issue right now. Most of the tool is very well-functioning and developed, and that's the only real improvement area that we've seen.

Centralized cost governance has aligned teams and provides accurate tenant-level visibility
The best features Finout offers, in my experience, would be MegaBill, Virtual Tagging, Kubernetes cost allocation, cost anomaly detection, and custom dashboards. Out of those features, we rely the majority on MegaBill because it provides combining multiple cloud providers and SaaS tools into one consolidated dashboard. Also, Virtual Tagging, the ability to logically group and tag resources inside the same Finout UI without having to constantly modify and redeploy our Terraform code. Finout has positively impacted our organization by fostering a true FinOps culture across our engineering teams, as it removed the guesswork from cost attribution, automated our monthly financial reporting, and highlighted exactly where we were overprovisioning third-party tools. We have achieved a twenty to thirty percent reduction in total cloud and SaaS waste by identifying orphaned resources and optimizing underlying third-party licenses, and we also saved hours of engineering time previously spent manually building cost allocation spreadsheets every month.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It justifies the cost and is worth it, and we loved the experience of purchasing this solution through AWS Marketplace as it is very intuitive and cost-efficient."
"Cloudability takes care of identifying and managing the cloud."
"We have probably easily saved around $400,000 USD a year."
"We can save tens of thousands of dollars, and hundreds of thousands of dollars in some cases."
"If you are looking for a seamless, simple to use, and in-depth cloud billing analysis tool, Cloudability serves all these purposes."
"We're able to see reports that can show us areas where compute costs can be lowered, where we're wasting money, etc. It gives us great visibility across our teams and processes."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its ability to create reports and dashboards."
"One of the standout features of the solution is its groups and views functionality. The solution is highly-stable. The solution is highly-scalable. The customer support is good. They can be easily contacted. The initial setup is straightforward. It's an excellent tool, especially when dealing with multiple clouds. It streamlines the process, eliminating the need to check each cloud individually."
"In terms of money saved, organizations could very easily save anywhere from ten to thirty percent of their cloud costs."
"We achieved approximately thirty to forty percent reduction in total cloud and SaaS waste by identifying orphan resources and optimizing underutilized third-party licenses."
"We have achieved a twenty to thirty percent reduction in total cloud and SaaS waste by identifying orphaned resources and optimizing underlying third-party licenses, and we also saved hours of engineering time previously spent manually building cost allocation spreadsheets every month."
"We have achieved a twenty to thirty percent reduction in total cloud and SaaS waste by identifying orphan resources and optimizing underutilized third-party licenses."
 

Cons

"My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing was adequate, but it could be made better."
"I wish there was a feature to temporarily remove certain recommendations from the list for teams that couldn't implement them immediately. I believe Cloudability could improve its automation functionality and enhance cost allocation modeling."
"They can improve the custom range of the network."
"I would like the API functionality to improve. The update time after uploading data could also be improved."
"There is always room for improvement in education and training. We are not that mature in terms of our automation. It could help us identify where we could optimize in terms of build."
"Right now, I don't think that they do good predictions at all."
"The IAM feature is something that we struggle with using."
"The technical support is terrible. You can't pick up the phone and talk to somebody."
"The right sizing feature is okay. It could be used, but I feel its functionality isn't as strong as the cloud-native solutions, so GCP, AWS, and Azure."
"While the visibility features are top-notch, I would like to see more actionable, automated cost optimization recommendations, and I would also love to see more advanced cost forecasting models."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Cloudability is a bit expensive."
"My team is one of the most expensive teams, and we look at it quite a bit. We have probably easily saved around $400,000 USD a year."
"We have seen ROI with the reserved instances, and having the ability to predict what reserved instances you can get. We can save tens of thousands of dollars, and hundreds of thousands of dollars in some cases."
"The price of the license or the usage is a percentage of the top consumption. So it varies from year to year."
"It justifies the cost and is worth it."
