I like using CAST AI for optimizing our Kubernetes clusters, particularly the right sizing of nodes by using spot instances and rebalancing nodes to fit our workloads. I appreciate the flexibility of automating the rebalance or hibernate processes. The service provides valuable recommendations on cost reduction, which is a big plus. The support from the CAST AI team during setup was also great, making the process comfortable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that CAST AI helps us to save costs with minimal effort and provides great bin packing of nodes. The one-click deployment was very smooth, making it easy to get started. I also appreciate the one script installation and the great support if there is any issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We miss their new feature updates sometimes, and an in-person update via Slack would help. We do have a general channel for communication, but specifically tagging the POC and notifying would help, and a demo session would be beneficial. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use CAST AI for rebalancing the clusters, and it has been really helpful for our team in managing nodes. I personally love the spot fallback feature, where if the spot instance is not available, it will switch to the on-demand instance. This prevents downtime in lower environments. Also, the initial setup was pretty easy, which I appreciated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes I feel leaning towards the open-source tools like Karpenter, but I feel CAST AI has its advantages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find CAST AI really beneficial for scaling. The workload autoscaler stands out for me because it efficiently manages the scaling process. I also appreciate the k8s management features. Another aspect that I value is the ability to run spot and fallback on demand. The single command installation made the initial setup straightforward and hassle-free.

Automated cost optimization and seamless Kubernetes integration that helps reduce cloud spend with minimal manual effort. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

nitial setup and fine-tuning can be a bit complex, and deeper visibility into optimization decisions would make it even better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love how CAST AI is quite intuitive, making the management of my company's Kubernetes easier and straightforward. The simplicity in the initial setup really impressed me, as it was very simple and facilitated a quick start. The cost reduction functionality through spot instances and the ability to quickly and easily hibernate non-productive clusters are features I consider extremely valuable. This not only optimizes my financial resources but also improves operational efficiency. Furthermore, the 10 out of 10 recommendation I would give to CAST AI reflects my complete satisfaction and confidence in the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some type of self-healing before swapping instances could be improved. I would like there to be a check before shutting down a node to ensure that the applications on the target node are initialized correctly to avoid downtime. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how CAST AI is great for our Kubernetes cluster cost optimization and helps maximize CPU and memory resource usage. I appreciate its in-place pod right sizing and container live migration capabilities. With in-place right sizing, our 5xx errors have significantly decreased. The container live migration feature is beneficial for consolidating our stateful workloads. Setting up CAST AI was a straightforward process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the ease and powerful features of CAST AI. Today, we are able to have cost visibility of services and applications within our Kubernetes, which provides us with a very advanced FinOps view. The initial setup was very easy and we also had full support from our CAST AI partners here in Brazil. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We are having some issues with resources from our observability tool, Datadog. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The UI and dashboards are great to go through. It’s also really helpful to add cast.ai to a cluster so you can see the potential savings before implementing it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Upgrading to newer versions of Kubernetes is difficult, and the Terraform modules feel lacking in support and features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like CAST AI because there's almost no manual effort involved, and it offers intelligent scaling. The automation is reliable and handles workloads without breaking, which I find really valuable. It effectively right-sizes and scales when needed, optimizing costs and node management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The UI navigation makes the experience slow. I think simplifying the sidebar and improving visibility would be helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
