Their platform and insights made it straightforward to effectively utilize reserved instances, leading to substantial savings on our server costs. We're very pleased with the results and the clarity they brought to managing our cloud commitments.

Set-it-and-forget-it AWS savings, with room to grow
What do you like best about the product?
Archera delivers immediate and meaningful AWS cost savings with minimal setup or overhead. Getting started was incredibly easy — we connected our AWS account in minutes, and the platform began analyzing our infrastructure and recommending savings opportunities right away. We were able to start optimizing our cloud spend almost instantly, without needing to commit to long-term contracts or navigate complicated pricing plans. It’s a low-lift, high-impact solution that feels like having a FinOps expert baked into our workflow.
What do you dislike about the product?
While Archera already adds great value, I’d love to see even deeper savings over time. Additionally, having a monthly emailed summary showing our total savings, trends, and any new optimization opportunities would be a helpful touch to keep stakeholders informed and engaged. Notifications about how we can save more would also be a welcome enhancement.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Archera is helping us control and reduce AWS cloud costs without needing to manually manage commitments or hire dedicated FinOps resources. It solves the challenge of identifying and executing savings strategies that don't require long-term contracts or engineering intervention. By automatically recommending and applying short-term commitments that match our usage patterns, it helps us avoid waste while still maintaining flexibility. The result is more predictable cloud spend, higher budget efficiency, and more time for our team to focus on building — not cost optimization.

Cloud cost saver

Archera has been the most simple cost savings I have seen in my career
What do you like best about the product?
This was a single marketplace offering that we accepted and immediately saw a month over month savings. Literally - within minutes... I strongly suggest archera to any cloud-centric org from now on. Spot instances at reserved pricing? YES, PLEASE!
What do you dislike about the product?
I quite seriously have nothing to complain about. Signup was simple, and the renewal was automatic. This is how business should be done!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Spot instances at reserved pricing. Enough said...

Fantastic platform with great flexible options
What do you like best about the product?
The flexibility of reserved options as well as the visual layout of the pricing options is superb. Their team is also extremely proactive in pushing notices about potential savings without spamming your inbox. The platform onboarding was slick and easy and I have no issues returning back to use the platform every month. It's now an integral part of our review processes for cost savings and deployments.
What do you dislike about the product?
We have yet to encounter any negatives about Archera.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Keeping an eye on potential savings on new deployments. We can easily review what deployments are new and without cost savings applied.
Great experience, nice savings
What do you like best about the product?
Really nice savings and the AMs have been nothing but helpful
What do you dislike about the product?
It's possible to set things up in a way that hurts if you're not careful-- so you have to pay attention, still better than raw AWS though.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Lowing our AWS bill with managed commitments we can set and forget
