CloudOptimo
CloudOptimo offers a suite of solutions designed to streamline cloud cost management and security for AWS and Azure environments. It assists organizations in gaining clear insights into their cloud spending, forecasting costs accurately, and identifying opportunities for significant savings through intelligent resource optimization. The platform focuses on making cloud infrastructures more cost-efficient and high-performing by providing data-driven recommendations for instance sizing and automating resource management.
Beyond cost optimization, CloudOptimo enhances cloud security posture by identifying and helping to resolve security misconfigurations and compliance violations swiftly. It provides tools for tracking violations by severity and compliance frameworks, enabling prioritized actions. Integration capabilities with tools like Email, JIRA, and Slack ensure real-time updates on cost-saving opportunities and security alerts, facilitating proactive management and smart decision-making for cloud resources.
CloudZero
CloudZero delivers comprehensive cloud cost intelligence, enabling organizations to gain visibility and achieve savings on their infrastructure expenditure. The platform automates the collection, allocation, and analysis of spend data from various sources, including IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS providers like AWS, Azure, GCP, Kubernetes, Snowflake, and Datadog. It normalizes this data into a common model, presenting it in a unified view for clear understanding.
Leveraging advanced techniques, CloudZero allocates 100% of cloud spend, including shared costs, often without relying solely on perfect tagging. This allows businesses to accurately determine unit costs such as cost per customer, product, or feature. The platform features AI-powered anomaly detection to alert engineers to abnormal spend patterns, facilitating quick investigation and resolution. It also supports precise budgeting and forecasting based on granular data and unit cost metrics, empowering finance, engineering, and FinOps teams to collaborate effectively and make data-driven decisions for sustainable scaling and profitability.
