CloudZero Demo - CloudZero Explorer
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 Demo - CloudZero Insights
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.

"First Class Customer Service with a Highly Customizable Solution"
What do you like best about CloudZero?

CloudZero's real-time interactive usage allows for high adoption across our teams. We are able to quickly identify emerging trends giving our users fast insights with clarity on where to take action. The Dashboarding capabitlites allow for highly customized views so that we can focus directly in on key areas that we want our engienering teams focused on. Lastly, it is important to call out that our onboarding experience was top notch. We have been beyond impressed with the level of customer support we have received, not just in answering our questions but it proactive forethought to consider new ways to deliver value for our company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CloudZero?

The highly customized features do require a longer learning curve compared with other cloud tools. However, the payoff is well worth what the visualations are able to produce. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Brings intelligence to a maturing area of financial management"
What do you like best about CloudZero?

Focus on unit economics and understanding that "every engineering decision is a buying decision". It is not enough at this point to simply understand volume and cost related to your cloud spend. Rather, CloudZero focuses on the unit economics associated to that spend, using your own real-world business data. What is your cost per "widget"? How do you optimize that cost per widget? This is where CloudZero excels beyond the competitors. The product provides you necessary context to make durable and data driven decisions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CloudZero?

In our experience there have been no major issues with the product. That does not mean it is not perfect, however, the CloudZero team is top notch when it comes to seeking user feedback and actually doing something with it. Our feedback has resulted in numerous enhancements to meet our (and hopefully other customer) needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"CloudZero: Centralized Cost Optimization Platform to review our cloud resource expenditures"
What do you like best about CloudZero?

* CloudZero provides a detailed cost breakup of our cloud resources & offers practical recommendations for saving expenditures.

* All access privileges given to CloudZero are minimal, so no customer compliance is compromised.

* We can easily integrate our Slack channel into our CloudZero account to get real-time billing alerts.

* Any incident ticket raised regarding technical challenges is addressed immediately by its support team.

* By enabling its resources tagging feature, CloudZero generates periodic reports on the usage of that particular resource group & it helps us track our expenses regularly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CloudZero?

Improving its Dashboard with more filter options would be great for us. We are running through resource utilization from different cloud providers & having more filters would ease our task. This is a minor enhancement suggestion. We are satisfied with the cost optimization features and recommendations offered by CloudZero for our cloud infrastructure.

"Using CloudZero has allowed us to manage our cloud cost much more effectively!!"
What do you like best about CloudZero?

Monthly cost reviews with the CloudZero team has helped us optimize cost across our AWS account. We also utilize the Cost anomaly alerts directly into slack, giving more clarity when something has changed to our engineering team. The ability to tag cost more directly to projects allows us to determine the ROI of specific projects much easier and accurately than what AWS offers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CloudZero?

No real downside to CloudZero, we have made tremendous strides at budgeting our AWS spend, turning off unexpected spending and helping to determine business value of our projects. If anything I wish we had a little more control over tagging our resources within the tool. Right now we work with our rep on tagging items, but they are part of our slack integration, so that is still very easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Good product that puts a handle on AWS costs"
What do you like best about CloudZero?

It is easy for us to see breakdowns on different levels across the company. As a squad member I am interested to see how my team is spending money, but then it's also easy to validate this spending across the larger organization and compare how my team is doing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CloudZero?

Using the tool from the APAC region is slower than I would like; it takes a while to filter down into the dimensions I'm interested in, and it's slow to move between the different filters. The slowness makes using the tool cumbersome from time to time, especially when you want to take a glance at your metrics. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Very useful tool for controlling your AWS cost"
What do you like best about CloudZero?

They show you all the details of your spending. I especially appreciate their anomaly detection and alerts. That allows reacting quickly when something goes awry ., Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CloudZero?

I would like to see more flexibility with alert configuring. Allow more than one channel and e-mail, allow configure custom alert criteria.

We are also looking forward to being able to use CZ on the GCP. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Useful solution that enables us to drilldown into AWS expense and also identify increases, etc"
What do you like best about CloudZero?

Ability to drilldown into AWS in a targeted way with the ability to work with a consultant to refine the different reports you use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CloudZero?

Sometimes data needs alignment, especially with consistent changes to your AWS enviroement. Ensuring things are aligned with the way accounting looks at something is something you must consistently work on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
