    AWS Compute Optimizer works well if you are using AWS as the core tech stack. If you are on mixed cloud deployments, then it is less appropriate because it can only give you a partial view. It might be helpful to use a tool that aggregates the usage and billing data from multiple platforms instead.

    It is well suited for an organization that uses AWS tools and technologies. as AWS is very popular in the market. you can use almost any service with it. the only thing is your organization must be using AWS services. It is not also cheap so the price can be the issue.

    Amazon AWS
    Although both work in the same manner I prefer AWS cause our department mostly work on AWS technologies and it really makes our life easy in terms of cutting cost and making our application efficient and it gives a whole understanding of resource utilization. I recommend AWS Cost optimizer to all.

    It does a good job not only it provides cost estimation but also it provides security measures that we have to take to make sure that we are not vulnerable to attacks. It also gives a performance report which helps to analyze the resource allocation and free resources more effectively.
