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.

A stable and scalable solution that enables users to evaluate spending and lower their expenses
What is our primary use case?
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?
Amazon Web Services (AWS)
Very good product for understanding cloud cost
What do you like best about the product?
Works well with mainly AWS and has too many options to look into.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes gets difficult to find things we need.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Understanding cloud cost
Great insights into your AWS spend
What do you like best about the product?
I like the historical views that let you aggregate/dis aggregate as needed. Like options to amortize reserved instance purchase over the year as well.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be hard to get the charts the way I want them sometimes; such as removing credits. Would like the ability to apply the credit to the relevant month to get a sense of the true bill that month.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our AWS spending was quickly accelerating and we wanted a better understanding of where we were spending the money so we could take action. This includes things within AWS such as reserving instances, but also on the engineering front like adjusting storage strategies.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you want detailed breakdown on how you're spending money with AWS, Cloudcheckr does a fantastic job.
