I have used Kion for one project with a duration of approximately one year. The customer wanted to monitor infrastructure spending and try to reduce costs. We centralized the infrastructure bills inside Kion so we could monitor everything in one place. We also set up alerts in case of budget overflow.
Centralized cost monitoring has reduced cloud spend and supports proactive budget control
