User Testimonials
	CloudZero	Virtana Optimize
Likelihood to Recommend	CloudZero No answers on this topic	Virtana Very suited for medium to the large-sized infrastructure where you have a lot of services to monitor. It may be overkill for small infrastructures where you can use the providers' source of metrics instead. Incentivized AO Adam O'Connor CTO Read full review
Pros	CloudZero No answers on this topic	Virtana AWS Cost analysis across multiple accounts. Identification of orphaned and underutilized resources. Easy integration to your AWS account. Simple and intuitive user interface. Incentivized Mark Swanholm VP SaaS Operations Read full review
Cons	CloudZero No answers on this topic	Virtana It can be tricky to set-up depending on what you want to do. They have their own proprietary way of visualizing metrics, which is clever but does have a slight learning curve. Incentivized AO Adam O'Connor CTO Read full review
Support Rating	CloudZero No answers on this topic	Virtana Anytime we've had issues they have been very responsive and professional. Incentivized AO Adam O'Connor CTO Read full review
Alternatives Considered	CloudZero No answers on this topic	Virtana We strongly prefer Metricly for AWS Cost Analysis -- whereas other tools are easier to use on a traditional monitoring basis. To be clear, Merticly's monitoring tools are GREAT, but they require tuning and manual setup that we didn't have the time for on a small Platform Operations team. We have worked closely with Metricly to expand on their cost analysis capabilities, and plan to use them going forward. Incentivized Mark Swanholm VP SaaS Operations Read full review
Return on Investment	CloudZero No answers on this topic	Virtana We were able to decrease AWS costs with its predictive analytics by 20% YOY. Incentivized Mark Swanholm VP SaaS Operations Read full review
