"Insightful when Maintained Effectively"
What do you like best about CloudZero?

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.

What do you dislike about CloudZero?

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 .

"No brainer spend on finops observability"
What do you like best about CloudZero?

Over the last twelve months we’ve made use of CloudZero to make huge savings to our cloud spend, make sustainable, meaningful changes to our engineering-spend culture, and to enhance our SaaS unit economics.

CloudZero is by far the best value software I buy here. Over the course of 12 months it’s almost inevitable that we break even with the savings we make against our subscription costs.

Finally, the team at CloudZero are a huge asset to us, it’s like having another team member keeping tabs on things. I have a fortnightly call with Mark Banz who always finds something I’ve missed, and Matt Manger was instrumental in gearing us up for success. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CloudZero?

It's a hard one. They replatformed from using quicksight to looker internally which broke a few bookmarks I had. The configuration yaml could be more intuitive but they provide great tooling and usually the AM is doing that anyway Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Simple Visibility into Complex Cloud Environments"
What do you like best about CloudZero?

CloudZero has an easy to browse interface for visualizing and representing your Cloud Costs to your key stakeholders. On top of it's interface, are the customizations that make it simple to update Dimensions which would otherwise require tagging efforts to be previously performed. The CloudZero FAM, is the unsung hero of CloudZero, bringing so much value to the organization from planning, to building out dashboards, and helping us achieve our business objectives. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CloudZero?

CloudZero, while having capabilities to encorporate multiple key integrations with Cloud Providers, has enabled us to add more sources of billing data to CloudZero through the AnyCost Billing data ingestion, but it still has some maturing to do, to enable a better user experience.

What do you dislike about CloudZero?

The highly customized features do require a longer learning curve compared with other cloud tools. However, the payoff is well worth what the visualations are able to produce. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Brings intelligence to a maturing area of financial management"
What do you like best about CloudZero?

Focus on unit economics and understanding that "every engineering decision is a buying decision". It is not enough at this point to simply understand volume and cost related to your cloud spend. Rather, CloudZero focuses on the unit economics associated to that spend, using your own real-world business data. What is your cost per "widget"? How do you optimize that cost per widget? This is where CloudZero excels beyond the competitors. The product provides you necessary context to make durable and data driven decisions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CloudZero?

In our experience there have been no major issues with the product. That does not mean it is not perfect, however, the CloudZero team is top notch when it comes to seeking user feedback and actually doing something with it. Our feedback has resulted in numerous enhancements to meet our (and hopefully other customer) needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
