CPU utilization charts for EC2 instances. This has become an irreplaceable tool to avoid overprovisioning and to set proper AutoScaling. Also, it decreased the cost of our testing environments after we assigned schedules to them. It’s very good to have recommendations, which highlight potential sources of waste as soon as it appears.

What do you like best about the product?

CloudAvocado Cost Optimization has been a real lifesaver when it comes to handling our cloud expenses. I love how it simplifies the management of our AWS accounts, making it so much easier to keep track of our spending without spending hours in front of the screen. The RDS scheduling feature is a gem – it automates the start and stop of our DB instances based on our actual needs, saving us money without sacrificing performance. And the best part is, CloudAvocado's dashboards are so user-friendly. They provide a clear picture of our expenses, helping us spot areas where we can cut costs. I can't recommend it enough for anyone looking to manage cloud costs effortlessly.

I am using CloudAvocado for costs saving on my cloud infrastructure, namely locating underutilized resources and applying schedules to my development environment.

What do you like best about the product?

I’m a beginner in cost optimization so CloudAvocado recommendations were a great starting point for me. It detected the most untidy parts of our AWS cloud and we made some significant improvements on the very first day of usage.
Also, I liked
-- intuitive resource scheduling
-- detection of underutilized resources for rightsizing
-- hourly breakdown of CPU and memory utilization

Haven’t faced any issues so far. I'm totally satisfied with the CloudAvocado interface and capabilities.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

CloudAvocado helped us to allocate our cloud cost to plug some serious budget leaks. Our AWS bill has become more predictable since then.

What do you like best about the product?

CloudAvocado saves us thousands of dollars every month and only costs a fraction of that amount. Anyone who runs AWS EC2 instances will be able to find a use for CloudAvocado—even those with little time to spare.

Connecting our CloudAvocado account to our customers' AWS tenants was easy and took less than 5 minutes per tenant. They provide clear instructions on where to go in the AWS admin console and which permissions to apply, so even someone not well versed in AWS roles and permissions can utilise CloudAvocado without further training.

With a modern and intuitive interface, managing resource schedules is straightforward for even the most novice of CloudAvocado and AWS administrators.

What do you dislike about the product?

Nothing at all—Andriy and the team are always eager to answer any questions we might have.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Many of our customers have EC2 instances that just don't need to be online 24/7. CloudAvocado automates switching these instances off at night and powering them on early in the morning without our technicians needing to spend time after hours to do this manually.

What do you like best about the product?

I like the Dashboard and Resource functionality most of all. At these tabs, I can request and see cost distribution across different entities and create custom reports based on that data. I also like how it's easy to create and apply a schedule for resources. Our on-demand QA machines that were always turned on, now are automatically turned off at non-working hours.

What do you dislike about the product?

Nothing, it works very well for me. No complaints

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

CloudAvocado made it possible for our team to analyze and predict our AWS expenses. We decreased 
forecast spend to actual spend accuracy variance down to 20% on average. Scheduling saved around 60% on each test or development instance we have.
