Intel® Cloud Optimizer by Kubex

What do you like best about the product?

The user experience and drill-down capabilities are great and responsive, and they make it easier to understand the optimization potential. Kudos to the Kubex team as well for being collaborative and working closely with customers to help ensure a solid return on investment. Love the AI agentic, integration and automation capabilities of the product too!

What do you dislike about the product?

It would be good to have a interactive timeline view of cost optimizations and savings over period of months.

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

Before Kubex, we were largely guessing at CPU and memory requests for our Kubernetes workloads. To stay on the safe side, we routinely over-provisioned, which drove up cloud spend without clear evidence it was necessary. Engineers also spent a lot of time chasing performance issues, tweaking resources by hand, and trying to interpret cluster metrics across multiple tools.

Now we mostly rely on Kubex’s AI-driven recommendations and automation, and that has led to lower costs, better performance, and less operational toil. Rather than manually combing through dashboards, teams get prioritized, actionable recommendations that can be applied automatically through policies.

FinOps, SREs, and application owners are finally looking at the same data in Kubex, which makes it much easier to align on changes and track their impact over time.

What do you like best about the product?

We have been using Densify (now Kubex) for several years to obtain resource resizing recommendations and have had consistently positive experiences. The team is highly responsive to customer feedback and demonstrates a strong commitment to delivering enhancements in a timely manner. The recent rebranding to Kubex introduced a number of valuable new capabilities, including agentic AI and support for EKS and ECS recommendations, along with significant improvements to the user interface.

What do you dislike about the product?

The previous user interface was challenging to navigate and exporting certain reports was inconsistent across some browsers. However, following the recent rebranding, these issues appear to have been fully addressed, and I no longer have any negative feedback regarding the product.

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

We primarily use Kubex for instance resizing recommendations as well and EKS and ECS optimization recommendations. We also leverage their Catalog Map to identify alternative instance options when the recommended instance isn’t feasible.

What do you like best about the product?

Densify provides rightsizing recommendations across both Azure and GCP using consistent methodology, which makes it easier to standardize our cost optimization approach and compare efficiency across platforms. The recommendations are workload-aware, accounting for actual performance patterns rather than just average utilization, and extend beyond VM rightsizing to include container-specific recommendations for AKS clusters like pod resource requests/limits and node pool sizing. Densify analyzes extended lookback periods to capture seasonal variations and workload spikes, providing actionable insights with clear cost impact projections and risk assessments that make it easier to prioritize optimizations and build business cases.

What do you dislike about the product?

Kubex does not accommodate Oracle Cloud at this time but will in 2026.

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

Has provide rightsizing recommendations for AKS and IaaS GCP and Azure virtual machines that are tailored to business needs.

What do you like best about the product?

Densify is a great product, but their people and support are some of the best in the industry to work with. Thank you for all you do!

What do you dislike about the product?

Nothing yet, Densify has been great so far.

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

Densify has helped save money and run more efficiently on AWS.

What do you like best about the product?

User-friendly, consantly improving interface. Onboarding steps are straightforward and documentation is clear. Customer support is responsive, knowledgeable and follows you in each step of the porcess, from onboarding to activating more advanced features. All the provided suggestions are decorated with useful insights which allow techincal figures to better trust the produced recommendations. Additionally, Densify integrates smoothly with major cloud providers and existing infrastructure tools, minimizing disruption and maximizing compatibility.

What do you dislike about the product?

While the user interface is intuitive, the wide range of features means there is a learning curve, and some experience is needed to take full advantage of everything Densify offers. Regularly checking the dashboard helps ensure you benefit from the latest insights and recommendations. Although exporting options could be expanded, the platform’s strengths in integration and actionable intelligence more than make up for this, resulting in a very satisfying overall experience.

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

Densify is helping our team to reduce cloud infrastructure costs allowing us to correctly size compute and kubernetes environments.
