"The solution is useful for cloud transparency and visibility in reports and dashboards that I have generated, especially the pre-populated dashboards.""The pricing is rather competitive right now.""It's stable. For report presentation, it's been fast.""The solution is good for cloud cost management.""The most valuable thing I have found is the cost saving recommendations""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.""We use dashboards quite heavily, but one of the features that have really stood out is some of the policies we've created to alert us of particular situations.""The product is easy to use in terms of monitoring all the environments. It works for multiple clouds."

Some features just simply aren't on offer. The solution needs to offer more product milestones.""I would like to see better integration from CloudHealth to create easier setup and implementation.""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.""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.""If you are working with the OS you need help and other connectors to get more information."
