CloudZero is a Excellent Cloud Cost Management Solution for a Enterprise level Supply Chain Management SaaS Organization

We are heavily invested in Solarwinds products for a reason. They are generally easy to setup and run with, requiring only some interfacing with support or help articles on rare occasions. They do what we bought them to do and we can't ask for more.

You can use an agent on the servers if you want to, or you can monitor through WMI or SNMP credentials. You can customize thresholds for alerting quickly, and you can configure alerts to be as complex or as simple as you want.

Platform is stable and available most of the time

The tool works and monitors items 24x7, it only requires maintenance a little more frequently due to security fixes in the Windows operating system.

CloudZero SaaS Platform is really good and performance is great.

The graphical interface and the performance of the database leave a little to be desired, they could be better explored.Some functionality and screens do not work well depending on the browser used. The integrations never had any problems or caused crashes in other systems.

Getting great support from CloudZero Support Team.

I think there was only a couple times I had to open a support case for SAM and one time they got multiple engineers on the phone to get a better idea what I was trying to monitor and was able to point me in the best direction to monitor that system.

Turbonomic is still an onpremise solution. Lacks integration capabilities. CloudZero offers Multicloud Cost management solution through their SaaS platform and the integration is simple for most of the Hyperscaler Platforms. No training is required for deployment and to manage and operate CloudZero platform. Great support from thier customer management team by conducting weekly Meetings with customer.

Nagios requires far more manual work to configure than SolarWinds does, though that also encourages customization and perfect-fit solutions. Nagios also requires far, far fewer resources to run than SolarWinds: SolarWinds wants great gobs of memory and disk, while Nagios is refreshingly humble. Nagios starts working from the first minute, too, whereas SolarWinds needs lots of set-up time.
