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. Having a tool like this is very useful for not only the users but for leadership to manage cost and overall management of their environment

Best suited for the scenarios where a Company receives a good number of RFP's/tenders or any questionnaires from their customers and there are different stakeholders internally who are responsible for entering the answers and approving it as well. Less appropriate where company has not maintained the documents or repository that is must for generating the relevant answers. Also companies which have lesser RFP participation may not use the tool that much

• I use SiftHub for getting answers for different entities and the answer that I receive is not specific or related to the entity that I need answer for

• Evidence attachment feature is missing. There are questionnaires that needs evidences to be attached that we are doing manually as of now
