"All Cloud Platforms in Centralized location"
What do you like best about CloudZero?

Combining all platforms into one, helping our several cloud providers be brought into one. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CloudZero?

To heavy AWS specific. AWS is trending down, especially support. Need to have more azure recommendations that work with utilization reports. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"CloudZero: Easy Cost Intelligence with Minor Alerts Improvement Needed"
What do you like best about CloudZero?

I like CloudZero for its ease of use and how it makes cost intelligence straightforward by helping identify unnecessary spending on cloud platforms. I also appreciate the knowledgeable staff who provide recommendations for saving costs beyond just the scope of the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CloudZero?

I find the monitoring and alerting features lacking. It would be great to have a projected spend alert, like 'Your projected spend at the current rate will hit X amount,' and then send the alert to Slack or email. Also, I think it would be helpful to have active monitoring rather than just passive reporting, like cutting the noise and alarming on specific cost anomalies.

"Actionable Cloud Cost Visibility with Near Real-Time Insights and Strong Unit Economics"
What do you like best about CloudZero?

What I value most about CloudZero is its ability to provide clear, actionable visibility into cloud costs by directly linking spend to the underlying business drivers.

By attributing costs to teams, services, features, and customers, it enables meaningful collaboration between Finance and Engineering and supports informed decision-making.

The near real-time insights and strong unit economics capabilities help organizations proactively manage cloud spend, reduce waste, and align infrastructure investments with business outcomes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CloudZero?

One area of improvement for CloudZero is the learning curve for new users, particularly for stakeholders who are less familiar with cloud architectures or FinOps concepts.

While the platform is powerful, fully leveraging its advanced features requires an upfront investment in enablement and ongoing governance. Additionally, some organizations may find that achieving the most granular insights depends on a certain level of data hygiene and integration effort, which can take time to mature.

"Saves Time with Accurate Cost Allocation, Setup Simplicity"
What do you like best about CloudZero?

I find CloudZero incredibly useful for coast analysis as it allows monitoring every step effectively and facilitates the creation of budgets efficiently. I really appreciate how it enables proper budgeting and economic optimization, offering a precisely detailed cost allocation. The main benefit for me is the significant amount of time I save using it, which is a crucial advantage. Its integration with other tools like AWS native service, Datalog for monitoring, and Slack for alerts further enhances its usability and functionality. Additionally, the setup was straightforward, which made transitioning from AWS Cost Explorer to CloudZero an easy choice. The product outperforms AWS in management, prompting my suggestion to the team to make the switch. All these factors contribute to my high likelihood of recommending it to others, which I rated as a 9 out of 10. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CloudZero?

I find the cost formation rules in CloudZero to be complex and challenging to understand, particularly for users with less experience, which could require more time to comprehend and utilize effectively. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CloudZero?

Fine-tuning allocation rules or iterating on custom dimensions can feel slightly less intuitive than the rest of the product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
