CloudZero Explorer puts relevant, timely data at your engineers’ fingertips. It’s like a FinOps Rosetta Stone: translating 100% of your spend into a common data model and letting all cloud stakeholders see it in the ways that matter to them.

CloudZero Insights can be generated manually by human beings — your engineers, our FinOps Account Managers (FAM) — and automatically by our platform. That way, you’ll never miss a savings opportunity, no matter how obscure.

Get even more out of CloudZero’s powerful data model. Create custom visualizations for any strategic objective — migrations, unit cost metric analyses, savings projects, and more. Then, share the reports with all who need to see them.

"Insightful when Maintained Effectively"

4/5

What do you like best about CloudZero?

CloudZero gives us great insights into our cloud spending. Its ability to allocate costs to specific teams, products, and features has significantly improved our understanding of where resources are being consumed, giving us a more wholistic view of the environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CloudZero?

The learning curve for using CloudZero's key features can be rough for new users. Additionally, initial setup and and jumping in when it hasn't been updated recently required a good amount of effort to ensure accurate cost attribution, and if not maintained, it obviously hurts the amount of insight that can be derived .

"No brainer spend on finops observability"

5/5

What do you like best about CloudZero?

Over the last twelve months we’ve made use of CloudZero to make huge savings to our cloud spend, make sustainable, meaningful changes to our engineering-spend culture, and to enhance our SaaS unit economics.

CloudZero is by far the best value software I buy here. Over the course of 12 months it’s almost inevitable that we break even with the savings we make against our subscription costs.

Finally, the team at CloudZero are a huge asset to us, it’s like having another team member keeping tabs on things. I have a fortnightly call with Mark Banz who always finds something I’ve missed, and Matt Manger was instrumental in gearing us up for success. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CloudZero?

It's a hard one. They replatformed from using quicksight to looker internally which broke a few bookmarks I had. The configuration yaml could be more intuitive but they provide great tooling and usually the AM is doing that anyway Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is CloudZero solving and how is that benefiting you?

- Quickly identify accidental spend (bugs) and rectify before the damage becomes too big. At Elliptic we process huge (TODO - how much) volumes of data on a daily basis, and our exposure to risk here is large.

- Identify opportunities for cost saving. To take a recent example, our compute spend has gone up, which we expect, but our compute savings plan is now constantly at 100%, which means we’re fully exposed to paying on demand prices for compute. Time to consider bolstering that savings plan.

- Put spend data directly into the hands of the engineers making real decisions on the ground, “shifting left” on cost culture and meaning we have less bugs, and less opportunities for saving, as we are more deliberate about spend up-front Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Simple Visibility into Complex Cloud Environments"

5/5

What do you like best about CloudZero?

CloudZero has an easy to browse interface for visualizing and representing your Cloud Costs to your key stakeholders. On top of it's interface, are the customizations that make it simple to update Dimensions which would otherwise require tagging efforts to be previously performed. The CloudZero FAM, is the unsung hero of CloudZero, bringing so much value to the organization from planning, to building out dashboards, and helping us achieve our business objectives. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CloudZero?

CloudZero, while having capabilities to encorporate multiple key integrations with Cloud Providers, has enabled us to add more sources of billing data to CloudZero through the AnyCost Billing data ingestion, but it still has some maturing to do, to enable a better user experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is CloudZero solving and how is that benefiting you?

CloudZero is our single pane of glass for all of our Cloud costs, and simplifies breaking down even the most complicated cloud cost visibility issues. This has greatly improved my companies capability to save costs, by identifying the key areas of costs that can be reduced. The cost of CloudZero has already been paid down by all of the savings we have been able to achieve, and then some. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
