This data is directly provided to engineering teams, enabling them to take action and make informed decisions regarding cost savings.
One key use case of CloudZero is running high-scale serverless applications. By preventing the release of features that cost too much and identifying inefficiencies in AWS usage, users of CloudZero can better manage their resources and reduce spending. Additionally, businesses with legacy AWS accounts have found CloudZero invaluable for inventorying and trimming the fat from their systems, managing elastic infrastructure, and gaining transparency into AWS costs. Overall, users report that CloudZero's granular detail on cloud spend allows them to model and track their COGS accurately while prioritizing infrastructure and cost-focused work for maximum savings potential.
Cost optimization: Many users appreciate CloudZero's monthly cost reviews, which have helped them optimize costs across their AWS account. This feature allows users to determine the ROI of specific projects more easily and accurately than what AWS offers.
Tagging support: The ability to slice and dice cost data by various dimensions is a killer feature, especially with the tag support, according to several reviewers. It helps users see immediate insights even without a reasonable tagging strategy or naming conventions.
Anomaly detection and alerts: Several users find the anomaly detection and alerts feature very useful in catching sudden overprovisioned clusters or instances left running. They appreciate how this feature helps them stay on top of their cloud spend and avoid unnecessary expenses.
Unintuitive UI: Some reviewers have reported that the user interface for CloudZero is unintuitive and slow, which makes it difficult to view metrics and filter dimensions. Additionally, some pages can be a bit slow at times.
Limited Alert Configuring: Several users have noted that there is a lack of flexibility with alert configuring in CloudZero. Specifically, more than one channel and e-mail should be allowed, and custom alert criteria should be configured.
Unclear Cost Options: The definitions and examples on the different cost options in CloudZero are unclear, according to several reviewers. There are no in-app definitions or examples for the different cost options available, making it challenging for users to navigate this aspect of the software.
