Appreciable K8s cluster automation
What do you like best about the product?
Autoscaling allowed us to have steady performance with the lowest possible cost. The onboarding process was easy and frictionless. To sum it up - we’re pleasantly surprised by the results we have.
What do you dislike about the product?
You’re getting initial savings report when the clusters are onboarded, but no clue how much you had saved after some time when applications were scaled
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Kubernetes autoscaling, automation and management.

Delivers what they promise
What do you like best about the product?
The main benefit is that they deliver what they promise, and actually helped us to save money as their cost analyzer is eye-opening, as well the setup is easy and fast
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing to point out at the moment, as we did not face a lot of problems using the tool, and the minor ones were solved quickly by their support team
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
cost optimization
Easy tool for k8s cost management that just works
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of setup, clear policies for workload management, easy to understand potential savings. Fire and forget. Fast and knowledgeable support.
What do you dislike about the product?
Would like to see more offerings not for k8s.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are running a very elastic workload, and the main use case for Cast AI is automatic cost managemen.
Quality platform, tested through Black Friday for Ecommerce!
What do you like best about the product?
We loved the scalability of this platform for our purposes, and we liked the ability to review costs and optimize them within our applications. It's much easier than the typical cloud optimizers as the team provides multiple things to optimize our costs. The ease of setup also is excellent.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think the only downside is truly evaluating some optional features that you may or may not need. It's not bad though, and we as a team had to go through that process to know if we only wanted to keep with AWS or go multi-cloud at this time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The two largest problems we had were
1) scaling in a cost-effective way
2) Speed up the speed of our implementation and build pipelines to not slow our developers down as much waiting for builds.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would recommend our experience with this company to anyone, and I definitely recommend it to other developers I know. I love this team! They've helped us onboard improve our processes by providing some guidance on how to optimize things. On top of that - a main driver of their purpose is cost.
Great platform to manage clouds
What do you like best about the product?
We were about to sign 3 years commitment with AWS on their savings plan, CAST AI saved us from this need.
What do you dislike about the product?
missed option to export reports from the dashboard.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
No more need to commit buying on demand instances and still, we are getting lower cloud bill
We cant be thankful enough for saved time
What do you like best about the product?
A few months back, we started looking at free solutions for cost management or simply visibility since our team isn't big yet, but we are beginning to feel the creeping up cloud bill. That's where CAST came in clutch with their free cost analyzer. Even though we are not using CAST right now, I just wanted to express how thankful I am for the guidance that this product gave us.
What do you dislike about the product?
Since we used the free tool, we didn't dive deep with all the nitty and gritty with CAST, but we had a chance to have a few calls with the team, and they seemed dedicated to solving our issues, which weren't even that big, so only +++ from me
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We had issues with the young team not being that experience in proper resource allocation for appropriate workloads, so CAST helped us out here by giving some guidance where our movements should be
Fast, easy to use and free
What do you like best about the product?
The fact that I was able to check what I can save for free really sold me on this one. Our team was in the dark beforehand on our cloud spendings and now it's like an eye-opening experience.
What do you dislike about the product?
There wasn't much, but the UI takes some time to get used to. As they told me, they are constantly improving and working on it so, it's probably just a matter of time
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Cloud cost visibility issues were running deep in our organization. No matter how much time we spent on looking at cloud bills from aws, we were not able to optimize it in a way that it won't grow in the next quarter or even month. As mentioned above, CAST was an eye-opening experience, showing improvements in our environment for free.
Effectively reduced our GCP cost
What do you like best about the product?
After getting a report with 60% savings there were no more questions we need to start using this service as soon as possible. We got 5 stars support for the onboarding process. The engineering team even added some features we were missing.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's tricky to start using platform via self service/e-commerce, would suggest thinking about other providers or at least improving the current UI.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Cost optimization - we were able to start using spot instances with their automation solution
Highly recommend, even for a quick analysis and benchmark.
What do you like best about the product?
CAST AI has helped us identify cost leakage and save money on cloud.
What do you dislike about the product?
Took a bit long to onboard but in the end, everything worked.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Cost savings, cost identification, better sizing.
Beat our expectations
What do you like best about the product?
They have managed to save more than we have agreed initially.
What do you dislike about the product?
We had to wait for some reporting options we've agreed on for a few days, but it's a minor con.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Cloud cost optimization primary with perspective to move for multi-cloud
