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.

"Using CloudZero has allowed us to manage our cloud cost much more effectively!!"

5/5

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.

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

Listed above, but to reiterate budgeting cloud spend, quickly finding areas we are spending too much and fixing those issues, quick cost estimates to help with Product prioritization and determination and giving more insight to our engineers on what is going on with our cloud spend to assist with all of these areas.

"Good product that puts a handle on AWS costs"

4/5

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"

5/5

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"

4.5/5

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.

"Excellent developer oriented AWS cost management platform"

5/5

What do you like best about CloudZero?

Provides exposure to cost data very well to engineers with an intuitive interface and anomaly detection via Slack. We were able to quickly identify a number of areas to eliminate waste, and have caught more than a few changes that where simple changes to the application saved us thousands of dollars a month.

Since the application engineering teams have so much control of our cloud infrastructure costs and want to do the right thing giving them exposure to this data has let us do the 80/20 optimizations that significantly reduce our bill with minimal effort.

A small example was a refactoring of code that interacted with S3 for our Pages product. The new code was making GET requests where only HEAD requests were needed. CloudZero reported a cost anomaly within a day of deployment and it was seen and fixed by the team that owned the service the following day. The feedback cycle was quick enough that the code was still top of mind for the engineer, so we ended up with very little wasted spend and the fix was fast to implement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CloudZero?

The platform doesn't have support for GCP, which we also use and could use similar tooling for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Providing transparency into AWS costs and helping us reduce them with minimal effort and cross team coordination.

Getting cost data closer to the employees that are making the decisions that impact it. The cost impact of changes for workloads that have moved from colocation facilities to AWS are largely controlled by the application development team, not the infrastructure team.

"Game changer - engineering-friendly COGS tracking"

5/5

What do you like best about CloudZero?

The team at CloudZero has been awesome to work with, and they've helped us to break our cost down in ways that makes it easier to see not what optimizations will get us significant results, in particular lasting benefits. Also, the slack notifications on anomalies are great for quickly getting attention where it is useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CloudZero?

I don't have any real complaints at present - I'm looking forward to being able to integrate projections with reporting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
