Cloud Cost Management Solutions Need to evolve to cover non-cloud costs
What do you like best about the product?
Aption allowed me to report on and identify wasted cloud spend in multiple clouds.
What do you dislike about the product?
At the time Aptio didn't allow me to bring in non-cloud saas and paas spend. For example, competitors allow me to report on my monitoring costs, my cdn costs, my software licensing costs, etc which also need reporting an optimization. See Vantage and Finout for example.

Driving cost optimization in cloud spending is a key for driving efficiencies and profitability and we need a tool that is easy to use, integrates into our setup and provides reporting for different teams like finance, cloud operations etc.
Good product, subpar support experience
What do you like best about the product?
We found that Cloudability gave us a much simpler and more useful breakdown of our costs vs the Cost Explorer in AWS, though AWS is always improving their own tools. We also really liked the monthly reports of which direction costs were trending for which services. It was overall a helpful tool in planning our reserved instances, and we liked that it consolidates reporting from multiple cloud service providers.
What do you dislike about the product?
We found the contract/renewal/billing process to be quite opaque, and didn't have the best experience making changes. Part of this is due to our contract renewal happening during staffing changes internally. We had to contact support to resolve billing and account closure issues. Our account manager was not able to help us easily with changes to our account.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our goal with Cloudability was to make informed decisions about AWS Reserved Instances, and attempt to forecast and control our AWS spend.

It is a bit costly, but you get what you pay for.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Managing services via the cloud and ensuring compliance
A good tool to analyze cloud costs
What do you like best about the product?
Cloudability has a clean interface and is easy to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
I believe that Cloudability can offer much more value by providing more functionalities through its API, such as custom data extraction, enabling Service Accounts for administrative functions that should not depend on a specific user's ApiKey. I also think there are opportunities for improvement in the Business Mappings interface.

Global overview of costs across different cloud providers.
Helps me to manage cloud cost more effeciently
