CloudZero Reviews & Product Details

Support for all of our major providers, from the infrastructure providers to major other services like Snowflake, Datadog, etc. Flexible reporting and alerting, stellar customer success managers. Its like having a great tool and second set of eyes on our spend. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Small company with immaturity in places, still learning, but listening and moving forward. Note this is minor and has much improved over the last couple years. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

CloudZero makes it easy for us to allocate costs and understand the spending for our Cloud environment (primary AWS). Additionally, it allows us to generate insights and clearly flag changes that are unexpected or resulting from architectural decisions. We are leveraging CloudZero mostly on the engineering level with our delivery teams, but we also use it as a financial support team to plan our costs and allow financial reconciliation.

There are still some open points to integrating the discovered Insights into our processes, such as a Jira Integration allowing our Engineers to act on findings even faster. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

CloudZero can give you an excellent view into your Cloud costs, enabling you the flexibility to cut up complex infrastructure into buckets that make sense for your use case.

The ability to quickly integrate multiple Cloud Providers into the tool gives an amazing single pane of glass. This allows for easy comparison between spend changes across multiple vectors.

Asside from the software itself, the access you gain to a FinOps Account manager has been great. Having an expert from the CloudZero side to support in configuration and troubleshoot problems enables things to get sorted quickly - ultimately improving the experience for internal customers.

Where I think they can improve is arround some of their reporting functionality. In part, this is the overall management of those alerts including configuration and dissmissal but also the depth of information they provide. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

UI feels a bit clunky, but it's not a big pain point for a tool I do not use every day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The attribution model (cost-formation) is really powerful (without being too complex). It's helped us to allocate cost at various levels of the organisation. This in combination with the great UI enables infrequent users to quickly see what they are spending. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The forecasting side of the tool is pretty limited it would be great to see this evolve especially through the use of AI. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

CloudZero's Kubernetes cost reporting is accurate and very helpful to show engineering teams their share of cluster costs.

Cost Formation allows you to version dimensions/datasets. In addition, I can create dimensions much faster by defining the dimension in YAML.

CloudZero seems much more intuitive to use than other cloud cost platforms

The views are not as busy as other cost reporting platforms making it easier to read/use Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

They need to improve their UX. I would like to add users via an API call.

We would like to see usage in gigabytes with costs for certain AWS services as well as for New Relic costs.

They need to improve their budgets so you can sort and filter Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

CloudZero always listen, learn and grow their product. We often mention an idea and sooner after its a feature. The platform is so fast and intuitive we have been able to get really useful data into the hands of engineers with zero problems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find it hard to find anything to dislike Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

From initial POC to implementation to the savings found, the account team and the tool delivers significant value, driving accountability across multiple personas of your Cloud Seevice Provider spend, additionally, connectors provide meaningful insight to other consumption saas spend Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

None to speak of that are meaningful based upon our usage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

CloudZero has been great since day 1. Y'all nail ease of use, implementation, customer support (pre and post sales), and is a fantastic platform for FinOps. We have over 358 users now too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Insights platform has a lot of work to do be done Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

CloudZero gives us great insights into our cloud spending. Its ability to allocate costs to specific teams, products, and features has significantly improved our understanding of where resources are being consumed, giving us a more wholistic view of the environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The learning curve for using CloudZero's key features can be rough for new users. Additionally, initial setup and and jumping in when it hasn't been updated recently required a good amount of effort to ensure accurate cost attribution, and if not maintained, it obviously hurts the amount of insight that can be derived .
