ProsperOps Reviews & Product Details

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.

The staff are always thorough and very knowledable about the services they provide and the nuances of the public cloud providers. Integrating the ProsperOps platform into our AWS accounts was a very easy and quick process, and something that just continues to work without any intervention moving forward.

In a world of automation, GitOps, IaC, container orchestration, and auto-scaling events, it's great to rely on a platform that responds in near real-time to infrastructure changes without any user intervention. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There isn't anything to not like about ProsperOps. However, it would be great if their service supported AWS managed services, as well as other public cloud providers, such as GCP and Azure. All of which are probably part of a future roadmap, so it's hard for me to hold any of this against ProsperOps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

ProsperOps has a fairly simple one-time setup, after which we've seen monthly savings with no attention required on our part. I get an email each month highlighting the thousands of dollars saved by using their service. There is also a web dashboard to review how savings are calculated in great detail.

Cost optimization of EC2 instances on AWS can be a complex and time-consuming process. ProsperOps has devised an AWS-approved way to automate most of this and get those discounts without ongoing attention or effort.

The onboarding team at ProsperOps was also extremely helpful - they answered our questions thoroughly and did a lot of the heavy lifting to get the product set up on our AWS accounts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When ProsperOps first explained how they achieve their savings, it sounds like they are exploiting a loophole in AWS's pricing structure. However, it appears that AWS approves this method and expects it to be used.

Beyond that, we have not had any reason to dislike this service! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The amount of effort we have to put into it: close to none. Starting from the implementation all the way to supporting our business at times of change. The team is knowledgable, on-point at what they do. Feature wise the tool exhausts the technical capabilities offered by AWS for rate optimisation. As users we only provide a couple of parameters and strategic choices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only downside of PropserOps is that it is not cheap (it is reasonably priced). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

ProsperOps streamlines cost optimization with its intuitive user interface and clear, step-by-step guidance for implementing cost-saving measures. It stands out for its automatic cost optimization recommendations, which effortlessly lead to noticeable savings. Additionally, the platform offers valuable insights into cost allocation and spending patterns.

Customer support from ProsperOps is consistently responsive and helpful, adding to the overall positive experience. In terms of cost-effectiveness, ProsperOps significantly reduces cloud infrastructure costs, often exceeding its own pricing. This makes it a strong recommendation for businesses seeking efficient cloud cost optimization without a substantial time investment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

ProsperOps could benefit from better intuitive features and customization options, while maintaining a robust core functionality. Enhancements in advanced customization and detailed reporting would be valuable. Additionally, the platform could improve its documentation and self-help resources for users seeking guidance. Pricing transparency also needs attention, as estimating costs in advance can be challenging. For users requiring highly customized solutions and more advanced analytics, exploring additional options may be worthwhile. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We were introduced to ProsperOps by a partner of theirs, CloudZero. ProsperOps analyzed our use and immediately provided a great deal of advice on how to improve our savings. We were already advanced on the savings front but ProsperOps took us to the next level with incredibly smart and informed people and then automated savings that work in a safe and reliable manner without any funnel or security concerns.

That their product does not cover relational database services Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As a relatively sophisticated user of AWS, we were already well over 90% coverage from RIs and savings plans before we started working with ProsperOps. We've managed to cut our EC2 rates by almost 20% more thanks to them, and significantly reduced the overhead on the DevOps team into the bargain. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I regret not starting it myself, but they've done it better than I would anyway. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
