Cloud governance has improved and teams optimize costs with automated real-time visibility
Hyperglance features help in codeless automation, which means we can fix common issues and optimize resources without doing any coding. Hyperglance has positively impacted our organization by helping us with agentless and self-hosted deployments, which has saved 38% time for deployments that we used to do manually. The automated process has saved us time and money as we cut resources. In the metrics we have tracked, we have saved 22% in costs. The time and cost savings from Hyperglance have allowed our team to focus on other projects and improved our workflow. Hyperglance has helped us save on cost, improve efficiency, and reduce manual work while enabling real-time compliance checks with very good features. We have saved a lot of time and resources by reducing the manual work which the new team needs to do. Now the team is occupied in other work and they are more productive, providing us more user stories in the organization.

Identifies and eliminates overprovisioning of expensive resources like storage, highly scalable and offers performance
I like the overall product because I can select what monitoring should be enabled and whatnot. In our case, we really focus on performance because it's clear that the price is related to most performance setups. So the more performance, the more expensive. So we look into the performance that the customer needs, and then based upon that feedback from the remote control, we change the parameters. And even the end user will not notice it is not using it, so we just make money without any impact on the end users.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Hyperglance provides visibility that creates a unified view of the entire cloud system, allowing us to debug much faster than we were able to initially."
"Hyperglance: Up to 5000 Resources [Pay as you go] provided a visual representation of our cloud resources and usage, showing which EC2 instances were underutilized or overprovisioned, and recommended resizing the instances based on actual usage, which led to a reduction of 30% to 35% in cloud spending."
"We have seen measurable improvements in a few areas since adopting Hyperglance, with the biggest impact on operational efficiency and cloud cost visibility by identifying underutilized EC2 instances, unattached storage volumes, and outdated test resources across multiple AWS accounts, which reduced our monthly cloud spend by roughly ten to fifteen percent while also improving troubleshooting time because engineers can trace dependencies and visualize architecture much faster instead of manually piecing information together from native cloud consoles."
"Hyperglance on the Up to 3,000 Resources Pay as You Go plan has improved our organization by giving us a much clearer visibility into our cloud infrastructure."
"Hyperglance has helped us save on cost, improve efficiency, and reduce manual work while enabling real-time compliance checks with very good features."
"The best features Hyperglance offers in my experience are real-time 3D visualization, FinOps and cost optimization, no-code automation, and unified cloud view."
"Hyperglance runs in our shared-services VPC and maps everything automatically across 40+ AWS member accounts using IAM cross-account roles, completely removing manual diagramming chores and helping us spot misconfigured route tables and security groups before client audits."
"The biggest positive impact of Hyperglance on my organization is operational efficiency because it centralizes infrastructure visibility, cost management, and compliance monitoring into a single platform, which reduces manual effort, improves the accuracy of infrastructure documentation, helps identify unused resources, and supports proactive governance, allowing teams to spend less time on administrative tasks and more time delivering business value."
"I mostly like the dashboards."
"The price is reasonable, considering the value it delivers."
"It offers a detailed examination of your cluster, including the types of instances utilized, allocated CPU and RAM, and resource distribution for specific applications."
 

Cons

"The current limitations in Hyperglance: Up to 5000 Resources [Pay as you go] are heavily focused on cloud environments and may not offer the same visibility in hybrid infrastructure."
"The learning curve can be a challenge for new users, which is something that can be improved."
"Hyperglance can be improved by providing a less steep learning curve."
"I did not give it a perfect 10 because I would appreciate more advanced AI-powered recommendations, smart alerts, and clear cost-saving recommendations with measurable savings."
"From my perspective, Hyperglance can only improve its UI/UX design. They can improve their dashboard as well, as their dashboard has a lot of customization limits, so they can improve it."
"Hyperglance could be costly for someone with simple infrastructure."
"Some dashboards and visualizations can become cluttered at scale, so I believe more flexible filtering and cleaner navigation would help."
"The web canvas gets sluggish when rendering large accounts with 5,000+ resources simultaneously unless you apply account or VPC filters first."
"Faster monitoring could potentially improve overall stability in the production environment."
"There is a significant potential for enhancing it through the incorporation of advanced technologies like AI and generative AI."
"The integration with other solutions could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost is cheap. Kubecost has an open-source core."
"The cost of the tool may seem nominal compared to the potential savings in infrastructure expenses."
"The real savings come from using Kubecost features like autoscaling and serverless functions to optimize your resource usage. If you treat it like a data center migration without fine-tuning, it might cost more."
