    Great easy to use UI. Easy to analyze the costs and that drives the cost optimization and helps in driving FinOps across the organization. It would be great if we can feed in our business/internal data metrics to track the trend for unit economics rather than just costs. It would give a clear picture for FinOps rather than just cost

    Usability
    Amazon AWS
    Very good mature interface, keeping one scale point to improve further with interactive dashboard/report capabilites, etc. Good enough to work with the costs for FinOps, we can get almost all the cost analysis details at the same place, but a unit economics visibility at the same dashboard would be great

    AWS Cost Explorer is being used because it is fastest. All other third-party tools are taking almost 3 days to give correct costs; however, at AWS Cost Explorer, we are getting visibility in just 2 days. However, the gap is that we cannot have a visibility of unit economics in AWS Cost Explorer
