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 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.
