    AWS Compute Optimizer

    Score8 out of 10
    N/AAWS Compute Optimizer recommends optimal AWS Compute resources for workloads to reduce costs and improve performance by using machine learning to analyze historical utilization metrics. Over-provisioning compute can lead to unnecessary infrastructure cost and under-provisioning compute can lead to poor application performance. Compute Optimizer helps users choose the optimal Amazon EC2 instance types, including those that are part of an Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling group, based on utilization data.N/A

    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.

    Everything in your SN instance is based on your CMDB data. Having Asset Management to store all of the info, as well as the out-of-the-box dashboards and visualizations to assist, is great! Being able to pinpoint where we are in our maturing process and what steps we need to take to move forward is super helpful!

    • The ITAM dashboards and forms can feel overwhelming for agents or managers who don’t use the system every day.
    • While the reporting tools are robust. building custom, dynamic reports still requires a decent understanding of the ServiceNow Platform.

    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.

    • By tracking license usage, we’ve been able to reallocate unused licenses instead of purchasing new ones, saving thousands annually.
    • With the integration to Amazon Connect and Zoom Phone, agents can instantly view user assets during calls, which has reduced average resolution time and improved customer satisfaction scores.
