    Score9.2 out of 10
    N/AProsperOps is a fully automated, multi-cloud cost optimization platform for AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. Eliminating cloud waste and managing spend is one of the most persistent challenges for FinOps teams. Cloud usage is inherently elastic, but the financial instruments used to manage cost like Reserved Instances, Savings Plans, and Committed Use Discounts are rigid. ProsperOps bridges this gap by integrating automated rate optimization with intelligent workload…N/A

    We have a Kubernetes cluster spread across multiple cloud providers, including AWS, Google, and Azure. Kubecost consolidates data from all the providers and gives us insights. So instead of jumping between individual dashboards, Kubecost shows everything in one place. It helps us in right-sizing the cluster, which directly saves us costs. Although it gives us cluster insights, we still need to take action manually. It also provides insight into the Kube cluster only, but actual costs depend on other components as well, including databases, storage, etc.

    Our firm spends the majority of its cloud budget on EC2 instances, Fargate deployments, and Lambda executions. Automated modifications to discount portfolios based on changes in workloads allow ProsperOops to handle our shifting workloads with ease. In order to meet our net cloud budget requirements, it always follows a high-quality SP (Savings Plan) Portfolio management strategy.

    • The inclusion of RDS and Elasticache in cost management is something I'd be all for.
    • When it comes to EC2 capacity reservations, ProsperOps only includes reserved instances in the region where we are located.

    Usability
    Apptio an IBM Company
    Our engineers liked the devops dashboard and the initial deployment was very fast which meant the cost-allocation data was available right after deployment which the team further customized and enhanced based on our needs. Version 3.0 fixed a lot of concerns with the backend responsiveness, especially when running heavy multi-cluster api calls

    Among competitors, IBM Kubecost offers deeper insights into cluster metrics. It offers the highest data privacy, as the data stays in your private infrastructure. Although it can't provide Non-K8s cost insights, it still offers some insights based on tags, which is better than any other product.

    To see the aggregated costs on AWS billings, we may purchase the service through AWS Marketplace instead of viewing it in ProsperOps' dashboard. Now that we're using it for AWS, we're talking with our clients about adding it to Microsoft Azure, too, so that we can make use of the tool's cloud cost control and visibility capabilities.
