CloudAvocado Cost Optimization Pros and Cons

CloudAvocado saves us thousands of dollars every month and only costs a fraction of that amount. Anyone who runs AWS EC2 instances will be able to find a use for CloudAvocado—even those with little time to spare.

Connecting our CloudAvocado account to our customers' AWS tenants was easy and took less than 5 minutes per tenant. They provide clear instructions on where to go in the AWS admin console and which permissions to apply, so even someone not well versed in AWS roles and permissions can utilise CloudAvocado without further training.

With a modern and intuitive interface, managing resource schedules is straightforward for even the most novice of CloudAvocado and AWS administrators. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cloud Avocado has been a game-changer for me. It has allowed me to allocate cloud costs for teams in a multi-regional environment, giving me more control over our cloud expenditures. Additionally, the ability to see expenditures per project has been invaluable for identifying areas of waste and determining where resources require more attention. Hourly breakdown of CPU and memory utilization also have been extremely helpful for righsizing purposes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Optimization Lab feature is really useful. We use it to balance our workload, detect and reduce waste in our production environment, as well as highlight instances where we are overprovisioning and spending unnecessary costs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I liked how it’s easy to schedule resources in CloudAvocado. Also, it was very helpful in detecting underutilized resources. Rightsizing recommendations are very useful too, I use them often. Another very convenient thing is to see resources from all accounts and all included regions in one list to build cost allocation reports. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the Dashboard and Resource functionality most of all. At these tabs, I can request and see cost distribution across different entities and create custom reports based on that data. I also like how it's easy to create and apply a schedule for resources. Our on-demand QA machines that were always turned on, now are automatically turned off at non-working hours.

I love how it simplifies the management of our AWS accounts, making it so much easier to keep track of our spending without spending hours in front of the screen.

So far I haven't spotted any issues, works as expected. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It was very easy to save a lot from the very beginning. As soon as we’ve tagged all of our environments we could turn existing instances on and off automatically according to required schedules. Then we used tag-based scheduling to apply a schedule related to a specific tag automatically for each new instance assigned with an environment tag. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's hard to say as I mostly used Dashboard and Scheduling features and I’m satisfied. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

CPU utilization charts for EC2 instances. This has become an irreplaceable tool to avoid overprovisioning and to set proper AutoScaling. Also, it decreased the cost of our testing environments after we assigned schedules to them. It’s very good to have recommendations, which highlight potential sources of waste as soon as it appears.
