We used Cloudability for cloud cost and usage management. It normalized data and gave us custom cost metrics that enhanced the dashboards and reports to answer the real questions we needed to answer to run the FinOps practice. The software also facilitated yearly forecasting by allowing us to analyze historical data trends spanning six years. We could model future business projections to refine forecasts and integrate budgets with actuals directly into Cloudability for ten high-spending teams.
In my previous company, we used Cloudability for a lot of purposes, including reports related to cloud costs and reports based on resources. The solution was also useful for driving through the management groups to find what the cost is for each account, so the main use of Cloudability was related to costs and tagging purposes. In my previous company, we used to check if the resources were tagged so that they would appear in Cloudability, which helped us with the creation of the cost reports accurately.

We are just using it for Azure and Google, as we might have different Cloud vendors and what we're trying to do here is right-sizing so that it can send us reports for all the subscriptions, for example, in Azure. We'd like it to tag the information and all the costs related to the information. That way, we can do the right sizing report from there, and we can rate it.

Our client wanted a transparent and visible view of financials in the cloud and that's why we opted for Cloudability Optimization Platform. We are using the solution on AWS.
We mostly use it to see stack utilization. Corporate uses it for its break down of teams, who is being charged what, but there are a lot of holes in this. For the most part, it is used to determine if the machine is using the rightsizing, etc.
The primary use is for billing management software. It not only provides detailed billing of everything, but it also provides insight into how to optimize our infrastructure. It tells us where the overruns are and where there are places for optimization.
