We performed a comparison between Cloudability and VMware Aria Cost powered by CloudHealth based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Cloud Cost Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The sizing recommendation will look, and say, "You are only using this at 80%," then recommend a better fit for you."
"The most crucial feature in reducing my cloud costs has been the rightsizing recommendations, along with the dashboards that track reserved instance spending coverage and utilization. As for Cloudability's integration with our existing cloud infrastructure, it's not integrated directly into our AWS infrastructure but rather reads and pulls data from it, providing valuable insights and analysis for cost management."
"The pricing isn't too expensive."
"Each user can have their own dashboard that they want to consume. Instead of having to share one dashboard for multiple users, you can create individual views for each user to view, and that view will contain only their own accounts, which allows for separation of data."
"Transparency and visibility are the key features."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its ability to create reports and dashboards."
"We use the product to get a detailed level of transparency on the cloud strengths."
"It provides us visibility, then we can turn around and can give the leadership team more information, which we could not previously give them."
"The pricing is rather competitive right now."
"It's stable. For report presentation, it's been fast."
"The most valuable thing I have found is the cost saving recommendations"
"The product is easy to use in terms of monitoring all the environments. It works for multiple clouds."
"We are able to create an internal price of the product that we can then sell to clients. We get the cost plan at a good discount and then resell it with a mark up to our enterprise-level clients. This flexibility in pricing is one of the solution's best features."
"This solution is fast and very easy to understand, even if you are not a technician."
"The solution is good for cloud cost management."
"The solution is useful for cloud transparency and visibility in reports and dashboards that I have generated, especially the pre-populated dashboards."
"We have dealt with a few technical support people where we ask for one thing and they might not deliver straightaway. It seems like they are a stretched across multiple customers."
"There is always room for improvement in education and training. We are not that mature in terms of our automation. It could help us identify where we could optimize in terms of build."
"Cloudability needs to improve on data collection from cloud sources."
"The API is not well-documented. It is not straightforward and difficult to use. This needs to be improved, as it is very difficult for our developers to develop automation around it."
"The dashboard needs to include more graphs per team to show what individual teams are spending in a given time period."
"I would like the API functionality to improve. The update time after uploading data could also be improved."
"I wish there was a feature to temporarily remove certain recommendations from the list for teams that couldn't implement them immediately. I believe Cloudability could improve its automation functionality and enhance cost allocation modeling."
"In general, I feel Cloudability wasn't able to support many resources."
"The solution doesn't offer the best functionality, unfortunately. Some features just simply aren't on offer. The solution needs to offer more product milestones."
"It would be helpful to have a mobile version or a tablet version, especially for people who are outside of the office."
"The Perspectives feature could be better."
"CloudHealth needs to start building out Turbonomics-types of features that help the customers who are using CloudHealth really understand everything down to the server level, the virtual machine level."
"The export features regarding CSV files and specifically around identifying savings plans have room for improvement, as well as the drill-down features for reservation utilization."
"If you are working with the OS you need help and other connectors to get more information."
"They should provide information or tools to tune the cloud resources according to the environment size."
"I would like to see better integration from CloudHealth to create easier setup and implementation."
