"Spot platform aligns all cross-organizational accounts from different CSP for cloud cost governance"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Spot?

Spot platform by NetApp enables us to assign mandatory tags on all deployed resources, which helps in cloud resource cost segregation quickly.

We can map our cloud infrastructure footprint under a single dashboard & utilize its recommendations to evaluate potential savings.

It provides comprehensive governance control to identify unneeded resource deployments and carry out its decommissioning activities in our cloud environments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Spot?

Since its resource analyzer is cloud-based utility backed up by a cloud provider & region, the availability of Spot instances may fluctuate & may affect the feasibility of cloud optimization strategies.

This is applicable to all service platforms that rely upon Cloud Service Provider (CSP), hence it's not a major downside, looking at the overall cloud spend management.

By streamlining our workloads with Spot insights, we determine cost predictions & estimate resource expenditures based on historical data & changes in the anticipated workloads. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Spot solving and how is that benefiting you?

Spot platform effectively benefits us by allowing us to identify all underutilized & idle resources which can be terminated for saving resource expenditures.

We can conveniently tag critical resources which handle our priority workload, so that it can be monitored & won't be accidentally interrupted by other deployments.

It offers single pane of glass visibility on various metrics such as cost prediction, resource utilization, and cost trends which greatly helps with our cloud cost analysis.

Since it supports cross-organizational accounts from different CSP, we can quickly build a centralized overview dashboard for resource reclamation, instance optimization and cloud cost governance strategies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
