More polished than many competitor solutions, but still needs a fair amount of manual tagging work
What do you like best about the product?
The intuitiveness of the drilldowns and visualizations. I don't think in spreadsheets, so that's very useful for me.
What do you dislike about the product?
I'm an SRE. Getting all of our AWS resources tagged so that CZ categorized them properly took a really long time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're tracking costs across a rapidly-growing, all-engineers-can-add-resources-to-AWS-any-time startup. Cost control is important to us, but we only have so many hands to do the work. CZ helps us figure out where cost control work is going to be the most effective versus where we could spend the time better on other things.

A good, flexible product that let's me learn more about our AWS spend
What do you like best about the product?
I like that I can drill down. We have different cost targets per SKU, and CloudZero let's see how my team is doing at a high level, then drill into various products and further into the technologies that drive our spend.
What do you dislike about the product?
It seems to require a lot of behind the scenes customization. I'm not entirely sure how to customize the tool (e.g., update AWS tag mappings), though this is likely just a training issue.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have been able to find the most expensive services I support and find the primary cost drivers. This helps me identify future areas of development and highlight risks in a quantifiable way to stakeholders.
Cloud zero- centralized view of all cloud expenditure
What do you like best about the product?
The UI is very intuitive on filtering our cloud provider costs by the service we use. Regardless of what cloud services and SaaS tools we use.
What do you dislike about the product?
still requires technical capabilities and resources from customer to send data to Cloudzero
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
observability of our AWS and Snowflake costs.
Can't go wrong with the alerting and anomaly detection
What do you like best about the product?
The best feature i like about CloudZero is that i get notified about anomalies in cost for all my resources as it detects it. I've tried other tools and have not found anything that provides the feedback this fast. I also really like how we get weekly on our spend behavior and tracking on the spend.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only dislikes i have with CloudZero is the UI. It took sometime to get used to and to figure out how view what i needed to view. I also think the UI loads a little slow.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Problems I am solving right now is managing costs and making sure we stay within our boundaries. With CloudZero its very easy for me to see whats going on how and helps me decipher on how to remediate it. I was using another tool and i had to export the data and use Chartio to View and mange the spend.
Putting Cost Control into Engineers Hands
What do you like best about the product?
Automated feedback with limited setup required
What do you dislike about the product?
It took a little while for me to grok the tagging structures needed at first
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With limited time at the speed we're moving at it's nice to have something automatically monitoring our cost without requiring someone to do that
Using CloudZero has allowed us to manage our cloud cost much more effectively!!
What do you like best about the product?
Monthly cost reviews with the CloudZero team has helped us optimize cost across our AWS account. We also utilize the Cost anomaly alerts directly into slack, giving more clarity when something has changed to our engineering team. The ability to tag cost more directly to projects allows us to determine the ROI of specific projects much easier and accurately than what AWS offers.
What do you dislike about the product?
No real downside to CloudZero, we have made tremendous strides at budgeting our AWS spend, turning off unexpected spending and helping to determine business value of our projects. If anything I wish we had a little more control over tagging our resources within the tool. Right now we work with our rep on tagging items, but they are part of our slack integration, so that is still very easy.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Listed above, but to reiterate budgeting cloud spend, quickly finding areas we are spending too much and fixing those issues, quick cost estimates to help with Product prioritization and determination and giving more insight to our engineers on what is going on with our cloud spend to assist with all of these areas.
Great visibility into our AWS spending
What do you like best about the product?
Drilling down into specific spend categories to get insights into what drives changes.
What do you dislike about the product?
The different UI screens are sometimes unintuitive.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're providing greater organization-wide visibility into our AWS spending, and building reports that allow specific teams to make decisions about work that would be most cost-effective.
Excellent service
What do you like best about the product?
The responsiveness of the CloudZero team
What do you dislike about the product?
Some pages can be a bit slow at times, but overall this is not really an issue.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
* We have discovered high cost portions of our application that previously went unnoticed
* We are now readily alerted via Slack when costs increase in certain areas of our AWS bill. This proactive alerting has helped us prevent large increases in our bill as we are able to fix them before the costs increase too much
* The team is always available on our Slack and is always willing to help

Game changer - engineering-friendly COGS tracking
What do you like best about the product?
The team at CloudZero has been awesome to work with, and they've helped us to break our cost down in ways that makes it easier to see not what optimizations will get us significant results, in particular lasting benefits. Also, the slack notifications on anomalies are great for quickly getting attention where it is useful.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't have any real complaints at present - I'm looking forward to being able to integrate projections with reporting.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We've been using CloudZero to model and track our COGS, allowing us to prioritize infrastructure and cost focused work with good projections of likely value. Focusing on areas that we IDed as having high potential for savings in 2020 got us a ~20% reduction in our running costs.
Excellent easy to use service
What do you like best about the product?
Cloud Zero is great because it lets us define the AWS services we use by business function and see the real time spend for each. This gives us a clear picture on cost of delivery and the implications of product deployment.
The support is excellent with thorough onboarding and quick responses once live.

What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing to dislike. Does what it promises to and more.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
CloudZero gives us much more granular detail on our cloud spend in addition to real time monitoring notifying us of any usage spikes outside of normal parameters.
