Kubecost is very useful tool for organizations looking to manage their cost for their kubernetes environment. its a well suited tool for organizations looking to expand their kubernetes environment or start their kubernetes journey.

ReputationStacker is extremely well designed for multi-location practices that care about improving and protecting their online reputation and visibility in local search engine results (which is extremely important for our business). It makes it easy to consistently generate reviews for each location and address issues that patients have before they become bigger problems. If you’re looking for an all-in-one marketing platform, this isn’t that. It's just focused on online reputation and reviews and it does that really well (instead of trying to do everything).

• Adding additional locations of our business wasn't obvious at first, but when I figured out how to do it it was easy after that.

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 had our marketing person set it up, and now it automatically gets us Google reviews. It couldn't be easier.

I had a question about how to add new locations and the support team got back to me immediately and showed me how to do it.

ReputationStacker is all about on reviews and customer experience. It's not trying to be more than that and add a bunch of other features that we either wouldn't use or are already part of the other tools that we use

• Cost savings
• cost monitoring
• budget control

• We pay $99 per month per location and our clicks and calls on our Google Business profiles have gone up a lot since we started using ReputationStacker. One additional new patient per month more than covers the cost of it, and it helps us get way more than one new patient each month at each location. I'd estimate we get a minimum of 5 or 6 new patients a month per location because of ReputationStacker.
