Head of DevOps and Product Support Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 2/22/2020 "Cloud Operations @ its best" 5/5 What do you like best about Spot Cloud Analyzer? I have been a customer of SpotInst since 2016 and they have exceeded my expectations throughout the time using the product. From simplifying our challenges of leveraging the spot market in AWS, to helping us manage Kubernetes clustsers while attempting to scale horizontally and vertically, to leading us in the right direction with respect to Reservations and Savings plans, and to their latest work around cost analysis and areas of opportunity to reduce costs, it has been a fantastic journey/experience. I should also mention we have worked with their technical teams to help us build out and manage our Spark clusters on AWS EMR so that we could run these clusters at the lowest costs possible, with a mix of spot (mostly) and RIs (small amount). Finally, their support/customer success team is always highly responsive and their solutions architects are incredibly knowledgable in their respective areas of the product. I do want to mention I have recently switched companies and when the time is right, I will be looking to bring them on at my new company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Spot Cloud Analyzer? Honestly, there is nothing I don't dislike. They are attentive, the solution solves a problem we have, and we have never had an issue leveraging the platform. Maybe one small nit - I wish the UI for their SaaS platform was more performant. At times, it can take more than 5 seconds for parts to load. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Spot Cloud Analyzer: If you are looking to reduce cost and improve resource efficiency, this is your solution. Plus, I know they will continue to improve the platform and provide additional services that will be helpful, as they always have since I have been using them. My only other suggestion is if you are concerned, start small and work your way into it. We run production workloads and we never had an issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Spot Cloud Analyzer solving and how is that benefiting you? We solved the following problems: - Cost management - getting the best cost on EC2 (our largest portion of our AWS bill) - Operational efficiency - making sure we could get the most appropriate resources for the workloads we were running. - Data pipeline cost reduction - we spent significant money on data workloads, and by leveraging the platform, we could contain the costs - Automation - we were able to achieve both cost management and efficiency in an automated fashion Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Platform Engineer Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 10/24/2019 "Cost savings with less effort than self-managed spot fleet" 4.5/5 What do you like best about Spot Cloud Analyzer? I find the console very easy and intuitive to use, displays very helpful information about each elastigroup, and it's very affirming to see the cost saving in big characters! Seeing the overall CPU/memory allocation within the Spotinst console itself is very handy when quickly deciding if scaling is necessary. There are so many exciting features like machine learned purchase strategies and fully managed k8s/ECS via Ocean which unfortunately we haven't had time to investigate but look very promising indeed. I once raised a question in the slack channel and was very impressed with how helpful and timely the response was, very much appreciated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Spot Cloud Analyzer? Although I did not implement this or visit this in detail myself (and very likely that this is no longer the case) it still appears that there is still significant JSON config to consider when setting up an elastigroup, enough to make me consider whether the extra effort is worth it for platform/DevOps teams of a big enough size to consider their own AWS spot fleet strategies and save on the Spotinst pct fee. Again we don't use all of the features and I think the preference would likely swing back to using Spotinst if I got time to learn all the benefits and features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Spot Cloud Analyzer: Think about how much time it would take for your team to implement a solution which fits your needs, and how long it would take you to achieve those goals with Spotinst: does the cost now look attractive considering these variables? If you do not have the time/resources to implement your own solution but would have time to implement a solution using Spotinst that investment would pay for itself many times over! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Spot Cloud Analyzer solving and how is that benefiting you? Spotinst was used to quickly set up a low (but not optimal) cost AWS ECS cluster for of our three environments for our (once startup pace) company. Recently it was again used as the cluster instance purchase strategy for k8s clusters as we attempted to migrate our ECS services to k8s services on AWS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Technical Release Analyst Information Technology and Services Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 10/23/2019 "Outstanding solution for quick, easy and intelligent deployment of Spot-based architecture" 5/5 What do you like best about Spot Cloud Analyzer? The ability to clone existing architecture into a spot group provides for a very fast integration into an existing production environment and does so with minimal effort, ensuring optimization of performance and cost without weeks of development. You can even get the output code required to integrate SpotInst into a development pipeline, ensuring the ability to integrate SpotInst into even complex environments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Spot Cloud Analyzer? The only element of SpotInst that I disliked or found mildly challenging is the need to manage the resources in another platform. This can create confusion in some cases if not planned for accordingly, but is a very minor obstacle in an otherwise flawless solution. I'd suggest tagging resources to allow for better clarity over this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Spot Cloud Analyzer: If you aren't already using Spot-based technologies seamlessly in AWS, you absolutely must try out SpotInst. We started saving significantly from day one, and it can be done so quickly and effectively that I can't give one reason not to give it a shot. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Spot Cloud Analyzer solving and how is that benefiting you? Having SpotInst affords us an option to manage Spot Instance deployments where we were otherwise unable to adequately plan for load requirements effectively. Having SpotInst there to monitor and adjust our usage of Spot infrastructure based on load and price took away our need for doing the analysis required for self-management of Spot - ultimately opening the door to our use of Spot-based technology in many of our products without first needing to put in the development time.

Chief Software Engineer Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 10/23/2019 "Saves a lot of money with no deterioration of service" 4.5/5 What do you like best about Spot Cloud Analyzer? Getting Elastic Beanstalk services running on SpotInst is simple and straightforward. The cost savings are huge and I've never noticed any worse performance from the services I've run on it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Spot Cloud Analyzer? Reconfiguring Elastic Beanstalk that's being managed by SpotInst has never worked well. I've always ended up with everything in a broken state that I can't seem to get working again, and every time I've just started from scratch with a new EBS environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Spot Cloud Analyzer: If you're on the fence about using SpotInst, try it out with something nonessential that still racks up a non-negligible bill. You'll almost certainly see some notable cost savings, and you can see for yourself how easy it can be to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Spot Cloud Analyzer solving and how is that benefiting you? I've got a web-based application that needs multiple running instances to effectively handle a high level of traffic. I've been able to slash server costs by more than 80% using SpotInst without sacrificing response time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Director of Engineering Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 10/22/2019 "Spotinst lower my cost and manage my autoscaling" 5/5 What do you like best about Spot Cloud Analyzer? We have been using GKE non preemptible nodes with autoscaling for a while now. What we learned from that is that there are many reasons why nodes will not downscale when we want them to. Good thing with spotinst is that since we can finally use preemptible nodes reliably, the nodes are being rebalanced every day -\> lowering our cost with preemptible nodes + scaling! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Spot Cloud Analyzer? Got a lot of issues with the Spotinsts UI and that was annoying. But the support have always been reactive. Spotinst is supposed to lower our Cloud Cost so it should take into account the Cloud credits. Does it make sense to use Spotinst when we have a credit? Yes, for the above reason. Do we wanna pay? No, we are using a credit already. Will we use Spotinst after our credit is gone? Definitely and we would understood how it works much better. StatefulSet? How to deal with that?

Senior Cloud Systems Engineer Computer Software Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 10/22/2019 "Great Application And Even Better Support" 5/5 What do you like best about Spot Cloud Analyzer? I like the additional set of features that Spotinst provides to build upon the functionality afforded by Spot Fleets. I like the ability to select a range of instance types and the simplicity of configurations for retaining EBS volumes and private ips from instance retirement to instance replacement. These are things that would take hours of scripting work to accomplish with the default tooling AWS provides. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Spot Cloud Analyzer? The autoscaler for the ECS integration is still lacking configurability in some respects. We still use custom autoscalers running in Lambda because they can accomplish scaling calculations that SpotInst does not support--i.e. scaling off of a datadog metric. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Spot Cloud Analyzer solving and how is that benefiting you? We are using Spotinst to manage the autoscaling of EC2 instances assigned to our ECS clusters. At this point, we have moved all of our production workloads over to Spotinst. The dashboards, metrics, and logging that Spotinst provides make troubleshooting easier. I've also personally had a great experience everytime I need to reach out to support--your reps are knowledgeable, friendly, and always available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Spotinst has saved our company thousands of dollars over the past year" 5/5 What do you like best about Spot Cloud Analyzer? One of the biggest upsides of Spotinst is cost savings. We have saved thousands of dollars over the past year not just in compute resources, but also human resources. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Spot Cloud Analyzer? One of the things we dislike is the time it takes for Spotinst to recognize that a service was scaled up and it can take some time (if at all) for Spotinst to realize this and create a new instance in order to meet the new requirements for the service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Spot Cloud Analyzer: Ask! People even at their chat is really helpful! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Spot Cloud Analyzer solving and how is that benefiting you? Cost efficient infrastructure using spot instances. So far, we have been up on spot instances100% of the time and have not had to fall back to On Demand instances. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Spotinst charges only for reduced costs which means there is no sunk cost to use the it. This was the best part of Spotinst when we decide to adopt the ocean. 2. Spotinst provide an efficient auto-scale strategy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Spot Cloud Analyzer? 1. Not easy to recognize current state of cluster at a glance and hope to see more logs in detail 2. Hope to get a little bit cheaper than now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Spot Cloud Analyzer: Before we adopt the Ocean, we mainly discussed about this question, "The Ocean would have any benefits than Cluster autoscale service provided by k8s?" We ended up deciding adopt both, Cluster Autoscale and Spotinst at the same time because the Ocean charges only for saved cost. Therefore, I hope Spotinst to keep the pricing strategy. It will reduce unnecessary controversy those who like to adopt the Ocean. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Spot Cloud Analyzer solving and how is that benefiting you? We are using Spotinst to solve auto-scale of k8s cluster efficiently to save costs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
