CloudZero enables engineers to build cost-effective software. The world's leading cloud-driven companies rely on CloudZero for accurate, granular visibility into total cloud spend.
Overview
CloudZero is a powerful cloud cost intelligence platform - built to provide visibility, insights, and savings to help drive profitable innovation.
By aligning engineering and finance teams around metrics like cost per product feature, customer, and development team, CloudZero enables teams to manage spend, drive a culture of cost-efficient engineering, and improve cloud unit economics.
Even without perfect tagging, customers can use CloudZero to ingest and allocate billing data, split up shared resources, track Kubernetes costs, track PaaS and SaaS costs (e.g., Snowflake, MongoDB, Databricks, Datadog, New Relic), and get a holistic view of total cloud spend.
CloudZero applies unit cost telemetry for accurate cost-per-tenant measurements. Engineers can self-serve to explore cost data and receive alerts about trends and anomalies. Based on accurate unit cost metrics, organizations can drive go-to-market decisions, such as pricing and discounting.
CloudZero can help answer questions like:
-
How are engineering changes affecting my systems' efficiency and my company's profitability?
-
Where are there immediate and continuous cost savings?
-
How do new product and feature releases impact cloud costs?
-
What's the cost per tenant of shared cloud resources?
-
How much do specific Kubernetes workloads cost?

What do you like best about the product?
CloudZero's real-time interactive usage allows for high adoption across our teams. We are able to quickly identify emerging trends giving our users fast insights with clarity on where to take action. The Dashboarding capabitlites allow for highly customized views so that we can focus directly in on key areas that we want our engienering teams focused on. Lastly, it is important to call out that our onboarding experience was top notch. We have been beyond impressed with the level of customer support we have received, not just in answering our questions but it proactive forethought to consider new ways to deliver value for our company.
What do you dislike about the product?
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.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is helping us identify spend anomolies, budget exposures and targeted ways to address high spend areas with a more optimized approach.

Simple Visibility into Complex Cloud Environments
Reviewed on Apr 01, 2024
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
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.
What do you dislike about the product?
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 problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
CloudZero is our single pane of glass for all of our Cloud costs, and simplifies breaking down even the most complicated cloud cost visibility issues. This has greatly improved my companies capability to save costs, by identifying the key areas of costs that can be reduced. The cost of CloudZero has already been paid down by all of the savings we have been able to achieve, and then some.

Brings intelligence to a maturing area of financial management

What do you like best about the product?
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.
What do you dislike about the product?
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.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
CloudZero helps me to understand the cloud financial impact of engineering and user driven decisions.

What do you like best about the product?
Speed and ease of use. We have so few problems with training anyone on the platform, it's straightforward and fast. Single pane of glass view of all of our cloud environments (AWS/Azure/GCP). The click-through model works very well with very little need to jump to different modules or areas. Excellent support and engagement on configuration and features.
What do you dislike about the product?
Better built in dashboards to match the things like AWS's CUDOS/Cost Intelligence Boards would be really good. AWS Quicksight CID now supports Azure and GCP, so having those dashboards reflected in CloudZero would be incredible.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Full visibility so we can drive accountability and data-driven decision making.

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.

What do you dislike about the product?
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
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
- Quickly identify accidental spend (bugs) and rectify before the damage becomes too big. At Elliptic we process huge (TODO - how much) volumes of data on a daily basis, and our exposure to risk here is large.
- Identify opportunities for cost saving. To take a recent example, our compute spend has gone up, which we expect, but our compute savings plan is now constantly at 100%, which means we’re fully exposed to paying on demand prices for compute. Time to consider bolstering that savings plan.
- Put spend data directly into the hands of the engineers making real decisions on the ground, “shifting left” on cost culture and meaning we have less bugs, and less opportunities for saving, as we are more deliberate about spend up-front
