I've used ProsperOps in three organizations now and I plan to do so every time. In summary, PO is "hands free" from human management, extremely effective at what it does and easy to integrate into process.
Firstly, ProsperOps is so incredibly simple to use and almost entirely hands free after setup. You just let it run and it manages everything for you in a completely automated fashion. We had a person doing this for us and were able to retask them on more useful functions like reporting and analysis because this workload was no longer a concern!
PO is SUPER effective at managing cost savings. Obviously Savings Plans are easy but the way they manage RIs enables us to save super high dollar amounts and ALSO to have a low time commitment. It's hard to explain but PO manages commits on cadence that eventually only has a 30 day renewal. That is, you can get 3 year discounts but only effectively have a 30 day commit to AWS. Trust me, I do not work there and have no reason to lie. It really does work that way.
Lastly, integrating PO into our stack was super easy. They prebuild the CF templates for you and have a bunch of detailed reporting so your accounting/finance folks can handle the "true up" to the books. It's super easy to make this all work from both a human and technical perspective.
All in all, you're nuts if you're not using PO. If you don't save at least 30% on your EC2 costs, you will save money. If you already save that much, you'll instead save a lot of time not having to babysit your RI commits. In either case, you win. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There's really not much to say here. The only thing I've had issue with is that the explanation of what they do is really hard to understand because of how AWS does RIs. It's difficult to get buy in within your org because so few people can actually understand the technique and it sounds too good to be true. Have faith and persist and I promise you'll look like a hero once it's deployed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
