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.
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.
CloudHealth consistently identifies optimization opportunities, resulting in an estimated twenty to thirty percent reduction in cloud infrastructure costs.
I have seen a return on investment with VMWare Tanzu CloudHealth. My company was very happy using this, and they did not buy another solution, so I believe they have seen benefits using this VMWare solution.
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.
CoreStack support would be around a nine on a scale of one to ten.
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.
They provide 24/7 support based on the SLA with the client, ensuring the response times are matched accordingly.
The engineers are knowledgeable and provide practical guidance for resolving cloud management and governance-related problems.
It is very interactive, with examples on how you can do this or that, and there are the do's and the don'ts.
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.
The backbone of VMWare Tanzu CloudHealth is scalability; it is very easy to scale.
VMWare Tanzu CloudHealth is well-suited for medium to large-scale enterprise environments, capable of managing multiple AWS accounts and thousands of cloud resources and workloads across different regions from a single dashboard.
With VMWare Tanzu CloudHealth, I can help optimize services and identify the pain points where cost reduction is necessary.
VMWare Tanzu CloudHealth is stable and reliable in my experience.
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.
Specifically, integration with vulnerability management tools and ticketing tools like Jira was not available, so having that would be beneficial.
The learning curve is steep because people like to take their own time to understand and roll out things, which creates an overhead in getting people to understand the system.
I would prefer to see more AI-driven insights that not only recommend optimization but also suggest automated remediation actions.
VMWare Tanzu CloudHealth can improve by introducing real-time cost visibility and alerting.
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.
I had no concerns about pricing, setup cost, and licensing since the cost was nominal and good.
The pricing is suitable for medium and large enterprises operating in multi-cloud environments that require advanced financial operations and governance capabilities.
Pricing setup is the process of configuring how the cloud costs are calculated and allocated, which includes connecting cloud billing data, defining business groups, mapping resource tags, and setting custom rates if required.
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.
Governance and policy management help enforce governance policies by identifying missing tags, non-compliant resources, public storage, and other configuration issues, ensuring organizations maintain security and operational standards across different cloud environments like GCP, AWS, and Azure.
With this, we have right-sized many instances, removed many unused EBS volumes, and unused Elastic IPs. In that way, we have cut around 20% of cost.
CloudHealth identifies underutilized or idle resources and provides right-sizing recommendations, helping organizations reduce unnecessary cloud spending while maintaining application performance.
