PointFive Reviews & Product Details

The user interface is very powerful, and I like how all the data is connected to provide meaningful insights into savings potential, existing inventory, and workflow management. The actionable items and detailed analysis are especially helpful for engineers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

So far, there is limited information about commitment management on the platform, and the dataset needed to create automatic reports on realized savings is missing. This makes it feel a bit less like a complete package for managing FinOps at scale. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like that PointFive has worked with us directly to solve the problems we have. They've been very receptive to our feedback on user experience and the needs we have as a large enterprise. I value the datasets they have exposed to us the most, as we can build robust tools in-house and display data in ways that matter to us. This saves us both time and money since we don't have to host or maintain the database, allowing us to focus on delivering exactly what our teams need. I also like the extra data breakdowns that PointFive provides. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some of the UI functionality could be improved. There are aspects that lack some polishing for a more intuitive experience. Filtering is a big one; it's difficult to search and opt in or out of filter options on the reporting screens. Also, building reports yourself can be cumbersome. I would love to see a text to auto dashboard creator type of interaction for the custom dashboard feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

PointFive truly reduces the time it takes to investigate savings. For each item there's a diagnosis followed by a remediation workflow. No longer do I need to spend a ton of time researching savings as they've already done it for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I feel like there's an opportunity to gamify savings a bit more i.e like a "company savings leaderboard" and then work with your customer to actually offer rewards beyond the reward of saving a ton of money! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

PointFive does the important data analytics of financial ops behind the scenes and distills their findings down into actionable insights. As a result, Engineers can spend more time resolving cost savings opportunities and less time doing data analytics to try and find the opportunities in the first place.

Downsides are limited in comparison to other FinOps tools. They have fundamentally redefined the category and have become the new benchmark by which I evaluate all other tools in comparison. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciated the ease of seeing our missed savings opportunities at one glance, and in a platform that let me quickly categorize and asses. Perhaps the best feature is the detailed information provided for each recommendation. Our infrastructure team can quickly take those details and either act with confidence or have what they need to start a research effort on the more complex changes.

At the moment, not having the ability to provide some granular limitations on what families of SKUs should be recommended. Unfortunately, provider quota or technical limitations sometimes prevent us from moving to the ideal resource family. I do know PointFive is working to add that in the future.

PointFive has been easy to administer and integrates smoothly with our systems. Their pace of new feature releases is impressive, and the recent AI-driven capabilities have been genuinely useful — they’ve helped reduce manual effort and improve visibility. The platform feels modern and reliable, and their support team is consistently responsive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It would be great if PointFive could connect automatically with GitHub Copilot or similar tools so that AI-generated recommendations could create PRs directly. That would make automation loops even faster, especially when running infrastructure code like Terraform. Some configuration screens could also be more intuitive, but overall usability is strong.

Saving money in the cloud isn’t simple—at least, it wasn’t for me until I started using Point 5. I now use it a few times a week, especially when we’re downgrading infrastructure to help the company save money.

The user interface is very straightforward, and it’s simple and intuitive to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

PointFive has become a key partner in our FinOps transformation journey. As someone focused on strategic sourcing and vendor value optimization, I appreciate how their platform brings deep visibility into multi-cloud cost drivers, anomalies, and underutilized assets. Their AI-driven recommendations are precise and actionable, directly translating into quantifiable savings. The platform's intuitive dashboards, automated alerts, and forecasting capabilities have empowered our procurement and engineering teams to collaborate more effectively. Most notably, their customer success team goes beyond support—they actively help fine-tune policies, set governance thresholds, and benchmark our cloud usage against industry standards.

Notably, the POC with the platform saved us more money than 1.5 years of the fees of platform usuage. Essentially the platform paid for itself even before we committed to them and some more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing really at the moment. the platform is intuitive, reliable and helpful. Infact I would say its not just the platform and technology itself, but the onboarding and ongoing support team which differentiates PointFive from other Cloud Optimization service providers. In a world where our own workforce busy with migration exercise, Pointfive support team patiently support us, walk our teams through the platform to identify and work on savings opportunities. Kudos to the company culture for being very customer centric. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

PointFive was very easy to integrate with all our various cloud providers. It was so simple to finally get a single source for all our cost optimization opportunities. We know we could be more efficient but just needed PointFive to help us understand how to be more efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When I first started using PointFive, it took a little while for data to start populating into PointFive after I setup an integration but it has already gotten a lot better over the past few months. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
