Yotascale Reviews & Product Details

As a FinOps specialist, I love the UI especially the time series graphs which removes the need for clicking and searching. Everything is accessible in one screen; drill down is incredibly simple. I can screenshot graphs for reviews with executives. Working with Yotascale on integrating SaaS data has been very beneficial. Also Yotascale met our need for a simplified chart of account export for the monthly closing process. We really appreciated Yotascale's flexibility in helping us with this report.

Our team still needs to do a lot of research in other systems like Datadog or AWS. It would be nice to have all the relevant information in Yotascale to make determination of optimizations. Engineers love their data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The kubernetes integration yotascale provides was the reason we decided partnered with yotascale. It is able to attribute compute usage with other components in AWS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When we first started building out our environment we purchased a hand full of Reserved Instances but after some time AWS introduced Savings Plans. Savings Plans allowed us to be more flexible with the different ec2 types. However yotascale did not support Saving Plans at the beginning which made it difficult to visualize our costs. Yotascale did work to get this added to their platform and has since been great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Budget planning for your startup can become an excruciating task, as one must be capable of researching and forecasting team costs aggregated for multiple independent services and systems. Without easy-to-understand grouping that works out of the box and filtering that allows fine-tuning and in-depth analysis, managers wouldn't be able to make realistic estimations for their future needs. Yotascale is the perfect tool for the job.

One of the functionalities I like the most is generating sharable links for future periods with a specific set of filters, allowing me to develop "cost-effectiveness" reports at the beginning of the month, which, if accessed later, lead to the most updated data available without the need of modification. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Creation of shareable content can be expanded and improved:

- The number of clicks needed to generate a link can be reduced to 1, instead of 2.

- Sharing specific graphs over specific time periods and embedded them into popular documentation sources (google docs, confluence, wordpress, etc) could be useful.

- Making the URLs shareable as one traverses filters could ease and improve how people communicate informaition sources in the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Clean dashboards to easily see where cloud spend is going and easily tag it to projects/products.

Great alerting for changes in spend and potential budget overages.

Makes it easy for non-AWS experts in our org to monitor spending as it relates to budgets and goals Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

No dislikes, at this point, we are looking to how the service can grow to provide even more value and actively discussing roadmap with the company on topics like tracking annual commitments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Setup was fairly straightforward and easy to get started. We were able to do a POC and explore the product with our own data, which made the purchasing decision that much easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The definitions of what business contexts costs should be allocated to can only be configured via an API. For us, that wasn't a problem, but there were times where it would have been nice to be able to make quick changes in the UI. Fortunately, the Yotascale team has it on their roadmap to incorporate that functionality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love the analytics and Budget/Forecast features. It helps me see where our costs are increasing and try to get ahead of things running over budget. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't love the tooltip on the budget and forecasting chart. It tends to regularly cover a meaningful part of the chart when I am grabbing screenshots for reports. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The utilization savings recommendations. It gives a clear understanding of utilization by division and helps us in drilling down into the usage. It more or less has filled in the requirements for the company in terms of costs, accounting, and budgeting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There could be more types of analytics dashboards for usage forecasts, like having the option to determine the company's growth trajectory rather than having a linear forecast. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Their business model, product features, and white-glove support.

they take the time to understand your business and provide guidance for reducing costs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

initial onboarding can be overwhelming without their support, especially the hierarchy; they are working to fix this on the next release to make it easier Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
