Customers praised Flexera for efficient support, effective problem resolution, and advised establishing a FinOps model for optimal tool use.
The additional support ended up taking longer than expected, with responses that did not meet our need for detailed and technical assistance.

Sometimes support needs to be reached, but they are very responsive and supportive.

8.1
CloudCheckr is praised for scalability and efficiency in managing diverse cloud environments despite concerns about handling large data volumes.
Sentiment score
5.9
Flexera Cloud Cost Management excels in scalability and integration, handling large enterprises but faces data quality and governance challenges.
If tomorrow I were to contract AWS or Google Cloud Services, I could manage them from the same place.
IT Director at Instituto de Innovacion Empresarial
It scales well for MSPs and large enterprises, allowing for management of hundreds of accounts and tens of thousands of resources while retaining performance and visibility.
Sr PreSales Cloud Architect at a outsourcing company with 10,001+ employees
I can scale up according to business requirements.
Senior Cloud Engineer at a energy/utilities company with 1,001-5,000 employees
Currently there is a significant amount of data we need to fix in the system because we migrated from an old platform to a new platform and carried irrelevant or even incorrect data across.
Software Asset Manager at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees
I rate Flexera Cloud Cost Management's scalability quite highly, around eight out of ten, as it is well-suited to large enterprise environments, handling multiple cloud providers, subscription accounts, business units, and large volumes of cost and usage data.

Room For Improvement

CloudCheckr requires improved integration, easier use, better reporting, clearer pricing, faster performance, and enhanced tool compatibility.
Flexera Cloud Cost Management should modernize its interface, enhance integrations, and automate processes to better assist non-technical users.
CloudCheckr is a powerful and feature-rich tool with abundant metrics.
Dev Ops Engineer at a construction company with 11-50 employees
Another area is drift analysis; there have been complaints about tracking optimization opportunities, such as how to track opportunities identified in January and whether they were resolved in February.
Sr PreSales Cloud Architect at a outsourcing company with 10,001+ employees
The data does not work in real time; rather, it takes between one and three days to show you the usage.
IT Director at Instituto de Innovacion Empresarial
Flexera Cloud Cost Management can be improved by developing a normal chat interface or application where non-technical users do not have to navigate through Flexera API application or website.
Ai Engineer at IBM
Another suggestion is to deepen the AI-driven auto-remediation; Flexera Cloud Cost Management is excellent at providing recommendations, but it still requires a manual click to approve or a custom script to execute an action.
Senior Cloud Engineer at a energy/utilities company with 1,001-5,000 employees
Specifically, I would want purchase orders created from an on-premises licensing perspective to be replicated or pulled through from a SaaS visibility view so that licensing tracking happens seamlessly.
Software Asset Manager at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees
 

Setup Cost

CloudCheckr offers competitive, tiered pricing aligned with Azure consumption, providing good value and requiring a CloudCheckr CMx license.
Overall, the pricing was quite convenient and represented good value for money.
Dev Ops Engineer at a construction company with 11-50 employees
Pricing is feature-tiered under the MSP licensing, and I would say the pricing was quite competitive and fair.
Sr PreSales Cloud Architect at a outsourcing company with 10,001+ employees
I won't pretend it's cheap, but we've saved multiples of what we pay for it, so the conversation with finance is straightforward.
Top Engineer at a tech vendor with 5,001-10,000 employees
I remember briefly discussing the cost and had an understanding that there would be an expense associated with upgrading from the older version of Flexera to Flexera One edition that we have now.

Iam Analyst at a renewables & environment company with 1,001-5,000 employees
A particular strong differentiator regarding Flexera Cloud Cost Management is the ITAM and FinOps integration you have within the same solution, which is really rare in this market.

Sr PreSales Cloud Architect at a outsourcing company with 10,001+ employees
Centralized cloud costs have boosted savings while reporting and user experience still need work
The best features CloudCheckr offers include out-of-the-box security and compliance check features that provide over 35 different types of compliance checks at no cost, best practice checks, and alerts. Another valuable feature is the multi-cloud overview, providing unified reporting across AWS and Azure while allowing us to create different types of dashboards based on who logs into the platform. Additionally, from an MSP standpoint, there is good ease of deployment, especially the billing and chargeback functionality for a reseller or managed services provider. CloudCheckr has positively impacted my organization by helping us manage multiple customers and tens of thousands of resources while retaining performance and visibility due to its multi-cloud support. We do not have to worry about jumping from one platform to another, and the better MSP support is beneficial from a billing and chargeback automation standpoint. The integration in compliance helps identify missing areas within our customer environments and improves them. On average, it has helped us provide approximately 15 to 20% savings through right-sizing or idle resource elimination. These are some of the immediate cost savings our customers have experienced after implementing recommendations from the tool.

Automated governance has eliminated shadow spend and now provides clear multi-cloud accountability
Flexera Cloud Cost Management could improve by modernizing the user experience, as many users find the interface feels a bit dated compared to cloud-native competitors such as Vantage or CloudHealth. Another suggestion is to deepen the AI-driven auto-remediation; Flexera Cloud Cost Management is excellent at providing recommendations, but it still requires a manual click to approve or a custom script to execute an action. I suggest simplifying Flexera Cloud Cost Management SaaS platform because Flexera Cloud Cost Management's special sauce is software asset management. Integrating those on-prem licenses with cloud usage can still be complex to set up for a user.
