Monthly Fees Calculations
For each month of the subscription term, the customer will pay a minimum monthly fee (the "Minimum Monthly Fee") for all Services purchased.
If customer's actual monthly fees for Spot Services, calculated based on customer's actual usage (the "Actual Monthly Fee"), exceed the Minimum Monthly Fee, then, in addition to the Minimum Monthly Fee, customer will pay a monthly overage fee equal to the Actual Monthly Fee less the Minimum Monthly Fee.
For the avoidance of doubt, customer will not receive a refund and will be obligated to pay the Minimum Monthly Fee in the event that customer's Actual Monthly Fee is less than the Minimum Monthly Fee.
Customer's Actual Monthly Fee shall be calculated based on Customer's actual usage each month, as follows:
Elastigroup and Ocean
For customer's use of AWS on-demand instances, reserved instances ("RIs") and savings plans ("SPs") and/or other cloud providers on-demand instances, RIs, SPS, reserved capacity ("RC") or committed usage discounts ("CUD"), the Actual Monthly Fee equal to X US$ per 100 virtual central processing unit ("vCPU") hours; Plus
For customer's use of AWS spot instances and/or other cloud providers spot or preemptible virtual machines ("VMs), the Actual Monthly Fee equals to X US$ per 100 vCPU hours.
Or
For customer's use of AWS spot instances and/or other cloud providers spot or preemptible VMs, the Actual Monthly Fee equal to X US$ per 1 US$ Savings realized by customer each month.
Eco
For AWS RIs and SPs and/or other cloud providers RIs, SPs and RC or CUD, the monthly fee will be equal to X US$ per 1 US$ Savings realized by customer each month.
Billing Engine, Cost Intelligence and Security Essentials
Actual Monthly Fees equal to: X US$ per 1 US$ of customer's Spend.
The number of monthly vCPU hours shall be determined and the definitions of "Savings" and "Spend" shall be as detailed in the Documentation: https://docs.spot.io/connect-your-cloud-provider/dashboardÂ

Provides recommendations regarding how cost and consumption can be adjusted, but the reporting and analytic capabilities are very limited
Reviewed on Mar 06, 2024
Review provided by PeerSpot
What is our primary use case?
We use the solution primarily to look at Azure consumption data for our clients.
How has it helped my organization?
The product gives some recommendations on how cost can be optimized based on usage. We take those recommendations and have discussions with our clients on what they can potentially do to achieve cost savings.
What is most valuable?
The dashboards were useful for visualizing where the cost and consumption are allocated. The recommendation section is pretty helpful. It provides an analysis of where cost and consumption can be adjusted.
What needs improvement?
We are not happy with the product’s reporting capabilities. We are planning to change the solution. The security compliance feature doesn’t give much data because CloudCheckr has done a majority of its development on AWS. The majority of our clients are on Microsoft Azure. There are a lot of features and information available for Amazon, but not for Azure. The tool wasn't meeting our expectations.
The reporting and analytic capabilities are very limited. There's no ability to do scheduled email reports. The report could only be sent to a single email address. The tool was not very usable. We had multiple clients and tasks to work with.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using the solution for roughly two years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I rate the tool’s stability an eight out of ten. We haven’t had any usability issues.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I rate the tool’s scalability an eight out of ten.
How are customer service and support?
Initially, our experience with support was not that good. Eventually, there was a discussion with our account representative, and we got some additional support to help us through some of the issues we were having. It is easy to create and submit cases. It was also easy to get updates on cases. It's pretty simple.
The solution has an online portal that we can use to submit cases. However, the type of responses we got back, and the level of assistance from the support persons reviewing our cases were not what we needed. We needed a little bit more in-depth help, which the team couldn’t provide. We had to go directly to our account representative to get the right response.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Neutral
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup was pretty straightforward. It was standard. I rate the ease of setup a seven out of ten. The deployment was very quick. We can have the tool up and running within a couple of hours. Adding clients or tenants to the tool takes 45 to 50 minutes as long as we have the developer access to the tenant to set up the configuration. A cloud architect and I deploy the solution.
We do not do any maintenance for the tool. It is a SaaS tool. It is hosted by the provider. However, the data is not stored by the tool. The tool reads data from different Azure tenants that we configure on it. The data isn't written anywhere. It's just read from the Microsoft tenant.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The price depends on the actual Azure consumption and what we feed into it. The cost is on par with other providers.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
CloudBolt seems to have better reporting. It has a lot more flexibility in reporting. The support is so far better than what CloudCheckr offers.
What other advice do I have?
Overall, I rate the tool a six out of ten.

Spot platform aligns all cross-organizational accounts from different CSP for cloud cost governance
Reviewed on Aug 25, 2023
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
Spot platform by NetApp enables us to assign mandatory tags on all deployed resources, which helps in cloud resource cost segregation quickly.
We can map our cloud infrastructure footprint under a single dashboard & utlize its recommendations to evaluate potential savings.
It provides comprehensive governance control to identify unneded resource deployments and carry out its decomissioning activities in our cloud environments.

It provides comprehensive governance control to identify unneded resource deployments and carry out its decomissioning activities in our cloud environments.
What do you dislike about the product?
Since its resource analyzer is cloud-based utility backed up by a cloud provider & region, the availability of Spot instances may fluctuate & may affect the feasibility of cloud optimization strategies.
This is applicable to all service platforms that rely upon Cloud Service Provider (CSP), hence its not a major downside, looking at the overall cloud spend management.
By streamlining our workloads with Spot insights, we determine cost predictions & estimate resource expenditures based on historical data & changes in the anticipated workloads.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Spot platform effectively benefits us by allowing us to identify all underutilized & idle resources which can be terminated for saving resource expenditures.
We can conveniently tag critical resources which handle our priority workload, so that it can be monitored & won't be accidentally interrupted by other deployments.
It offers single pane of glass visibility on various metrics such as cost prediction, resource utilization, and cost trends which greatly helps with our cloud cost analysis.
Since it supports cross-organizational accounts from different CSP, we can quickly build a centralized overview dashboard for resource reclamation, instance optimization and cloud cost governance stategies.

A stable and scalable solution that enables users to evaluate spending and lower their expenses
Reviewed on Aug 24, 2023
Review from a verified AWS customer
What is our primary use case?
We had not been evaluating the spending for our group. So we used CloudCheckr to evaluate what we had running and how much it cost to turn off what we did not need.
What is most valuable?
The solution is scalable for our purposes.
What needs improvement?
I found it less useful. My group took the data and organized it with Tableau. I used CloudCheckr to verify what I was seeing in Tableau. The solution must improve its user interface.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using the solution for two weeks.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I did not see any instability. I rate the product’s stability a ten out of ten.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I rate the scalability an eight out of ten.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
Tableau is more useful than CloudCheckr.
What other advice do I have?
People wanting to use the solution must check the documentation and be prepared for a learning curve. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
Private Cloud
If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?
