Hyperglance vs. Spot by NetApp

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,

CloudCheckr is fantastic for those that are purely in the Cloud as it provides everything you need under one roof for a comprehensive configuration and usage monitoring tool. It has SysLog capabilities though so you can farm out the alerts into a SIEM or other log management system, so hybrid environments could also benefit from its use.

• Detailed Best Practices. It's important to align your cloud to industry best practices for security and cost—it just performs better if it's used the way it's meant to be used. AWS is very flexible, and that's great when you have special requirements, but you've got to at least know when you're using something in a non-standard way so you can think through the implications.
• Cost Reduction. Some recommendations are almost impossible to make at least for our setup, but many, many others are easy. We only have to log into CloudCheckr every few months and make a few changes for it to more than pay for itself.
• Right-Sizing. This is related to the other points, but for some reason is separate from their cost module. The metrics it's able to pull only tell half the story, so it's good to verify it's sizing recommendations before making changes. But it does show you what instances to focus on first, and even if you choose a slightly different size to move it to, it does clearly indicate it's current size isn't appropriate. And this works both ways, if the size is too big, you can save some cash by making it smaller, but if it's too small, you want to be sure to scale up before you run into performance problems.

• CloudCheckr features have a tendency to break without warning. Functionality in place for months could suddenly stop working.
• CloudCheckr support often delays work on support tickets for fixing broken application functionality.
• The CloudCheckr platform and documentation website often crash or experience performance degradation.
• CloudCheckr cost reporting is often impacted by faulty code or broken report functionality. This can contribute to a low level of confidence in CloudCheckr's ability to deliver accurate cost reporting.

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.

Overall, CloudCheckr covers all our AWS monitoring needs and great integration through SysLog into our SIEM to capture alerts for investigation. The reports are great and allow for an easy daily review. Small improvements could be made to the interface and better filtering in places would be good. Great product and the price is fair.

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.

There are a few products out there that'll do an aspect or two of what CloudCheckr does, but I honestly couldn't find anything nearly as comprehensive as CloudCheckr.

• 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.

• CloudCheckr has allowed us to increase resell margins as an MSP.
• CloudCheckr has made us aware of cost savings opportunities that exceed the price of the platform itself.
• CloudCheckr has given us additional visibility that has allowed us to manage and understand cloud computing costs.
