Hyperglance vs. IBM Kubecost

If you have lot of cloud resources and if you want to understand what is running and how everything is connected Hyperglance is really helpful. It is very useful for checking cloud costs, any resource related issues and for better security and also configuration issues, The Ui makes very easy to get overall picture of your cloud usage without checking each service individully, I think it is not much useful if your environment has only few resources,

We found that IBM Kubecost was a great fit for multi-tenant clusters that had shared resources. It broke the clusters down in namespaces, deployment labels, pods, etc. Dynamic monitoring is another asset - any accidental configuration that is not optimal and is causing spike in the consumption can be caught in a few hours

• Show namespace level cost and usage
• Allow rightisizibg At namespace level
• Show effectiveness of current resources allocation

• I think there is room for improvement in IBM Kubecost if you Streamline IBM Kubecost more with AWS cost explorer

Because it is very easy to understand, Good UI i mean good visual layout, We can quickly access information , it will be very helpful for new team members also.

While Kubecost is very critical tool, providing useful information about your organization's kubernets cost patterns, it could use additional features like better integration with other IBM tools. Having the ability to incorporate other IBM tools will be helpful for users and leadership as well as increase overall awareness of what other Products IBM provides.

We also used Datadog in the start for monitoring and getting information about health of our systems, it is also very good for alerts and metrics, while we got to see our cloudsetup and relationship between different resources, these are like add ons to what Datadog is giving , and also cost is less compared to Datadog.

Very comparable tools but given that we are not a SaaS company, we didn't opt for CloudZero which could have been a better fit if we were a SaaS company and needed granular unit cost tracking and cross platform visibility. Datadog was also considered but it required a lot of upfront investment to get up and running

• I would say time , we can save lot of time, if we dont have Hyperglance we have check all the services and resources, which we now have in a single place.
• we can Save money, Because it helps us very easy to find unused resources.
• One downside i think is , it will take sometime to understand all the features when u start using it.Once you understand everything i would say there is no going back.

• Allowed individual teams to better their cloud architecture for cost efficiency
• Save on cloud investment
