gridscale vs. OpsCompass

Our AWS Cloud was a perfect fit for OpsCompass. We needed a better method for understanding the size/extent of our Cloud--rather than the manual approach we'd been using. It's saved us a lot of time, and allowed us to delay adding additional heads for at least six to nine months. It also gives us a better/faster grasp of potential security issues - we see them right away, and we can assess each issue far faster than ever before. When we expand to Azure, Ops Compass will be able to do the same thing for us. (We have no plans to expand into Google Cloud Platform, but Ops Compass works well in all 3 clouds, apparently.)

• Quick inventory of all my cloud resources
• Detects changes to my cloud resources--including the source of the changes (user or system)
• Cost impacts of changes to my cloud infrastructure

• I would like to see more integrations to help surface alerts. Slack would be great, as an example.
• An imbedded tour or onboarding would help our new users, but overall, the product is pretty easy to figure out

We like that OpsCompass is native, multi-cloud, and gives us a consistent method and approach to managing our security across multiple environments. It was more attractively priced and had easier, simpler deployment. It took us about 30 minutes to get it connected to both of our clouds and get a quick view of all of our infrastructure.

• Our team was able to do roughly 30% more with the product. The automation helps us spot issues without a lot of manual work
• We identified changes that would have had a massive cost impact--spinning up or forgetting about infrastructure we didn't need.
• OpsCompass prevents configuration drift and maintains a healthy state across multi-clouds.
