CloudZero

“CloudZero enables us to have intelligent conversations with our DevOps teams to triage and address all our savings opportunities.”

““I think of CloudZero as really cost transparency software,” says Markelz, “It allows us to just put together cost and business definitions that we need. If someone told me they wanted to understand a lot more detail about their infrastructure and the cost behind it – I’d point them to CloudZero.””

““CloudZero lets us look at all the changes we’ve made and understand whether margin has improved,””

““It’s something you need in your culture to achieve the highest level of efficiency. You don’t even have to be inefficient. LawnStarter wasn’t inefficient when we began our partnership. But if we agree you could run more efficiently, you need CloudZero.””

““It’s the highest level of concierge you can have,” Alberto said. “It’s like an extension of my team. It’s a must-have. I would give it an eleven out of ten, no kidding. We work together as One Team with One Heart”.”

““CloudZero has really changed the way we think about cost. It decentralized our cost management and put the power into the hands of our engineers,””

““I always dreamed about a solution that can take me out of the picture and that’s why I think we landed at CloudZero.””

““Cloud cost is now a very small portion of my day, and by very small, I mean I don’t have to think about it anymore,””

““One of the big selling points of CloudZero is that it was built for engineers. CloudZero is intuitive enough that our engineers are able to go in there, self-serve, and understand exactly what they’re looking at,””

““With CloudZero, our teams are now empowered to make decisions that are mindful of the impact on costs and to share responsibility in managing the expense,””

““Our finance partners can now directly log into CloudZero so we can review the costs and predictions together. This data and visibility has improved the quality and focus of our expense planning conversations,””

““Before adopting CloudZero, monthly cost forecasting requests from the finance team would require time consuming analysis of our AWS costs,””

““The team can now confidently state whether it costs more to deliver a product than it used to, and why. CloudZero enables us to have constructive conversations about how to efficiently design new features and products as we continue to innovate and grow as a company,””

““We get a lot of useful information from CloudZero with the unit cost metrics we obtain on a daily basis. It has also enabled our product teams to see if our unit costs are going up or down and to understand the costs for the respective products,””

““CloudZero has helped us become extremely cost efficient and gives us the insights to effectively manage our cloud investments,””

““We now get alerts directly in our internal chat tool channels. CloudZero notifies the teams responsible for a product when there’s an anomaly in costs. We didn’t have that visibility as rapidly before,””

““Before CloudZero, we had a weekend where somebody left a debug log on, which led to some pretty significant costs. That kind of thing doesn’t happen anymore,””

““CloudZero quickly enabled us to put a laser focus on what we needed to address,””

““Our previous solution was good at looking at resource tags, like every cost solution is, but it was CloudZero that helped us to easily and accurately map cost to our products. We can also better understand our unit costs,””

““We immediately got a better understanding of how much we spend on infrastructure that drives our products,””

“CloudZero’s ease-of-use is fantastic, and it’s very easy to integrate with whatever cost sources you want,” he said. “The CS team’s support is very fast, and they’re always willing to take suggestions to the product team. It’s been great so far, and I imagine it’ll only get better.”

“This gets at the essence of our business value,” Daniel said. “It’s the Holy Grail of FinOps.”

“It’s really strengthened our relationship with the finance team,” Daniel said. “Analytics automates what would otherwise be a long manual process, and sends the reports to them on a regular basis. They have better cost insights, so we can all spend more time on strategic goals.”

“The whole process was simple,” Daniel said. “From finding the insight to figuring out who should address it to realizing the savings. That’s an amazing feedback loop for engineers, and it makes them want to find more.”

“The POV was great,” Daniel said. “The team acted quickly, understood all the items that were most important to us, and incorporated all of them into the trial. The tool’s friendly interface really caught our attention, and then integrating with and allocating cloud provider costs was really easy.”
