Streamlines multi-cloud security management, provides unified visibility across environments, and automates compliance
What is our primary use case?
How has it helped my organization?
Xops streamlined our multi-cloud security management by providing unified visibility across AWS and Azure environments. The automated compliance monitoring reduced our manual security audits by 60%, allowing our team to focus on strategic initiatives rather than repetitive checks.
What is most valuable?
The AWS cost optimization features have been game-changing - particularly the automated detection of idle EC2 instances and unattached EBS volumes that were silently draining our budget.
The right-sizing recommendations based on actual usage patterns helped us reduce our AWS spend by 30% within the first quarter, while the cost forecasting feature enabled better budget planning and prevented surprise overages
What needs improvement?
While Xops delivers on core functionality, the platform could benefit from more mature AI models for anomaly detection. We've seen false positives in cost spike alerts.
The UI needs refinement for better drill-down capabilities into specific cost centers.
For the next release, native support for GCP would make this a true multi-cloud solution, and adding automated remediation workflows beyond just detection would significantly reduce manual intervention.
For how long have I used the solution?
I've used the solution for one year.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I did not previously use a different solution.
What was our ROI?
In our case, the platform paid for itself within three months through identified cost optimizations alone.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Ask about volume discounts for larger environments and whether they offer consumption-based pricing. Be sure to factor in the reduced need for multiple security tools and the labor savings from automation when calculating total value.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
I did not really evaluate other options.
What other advice do I have?
I'd rate the solution ten out of ten.
Good dashboard, helpful optimization capabilities, and mitigates frequent external attacks
What is our primary use case?
We use the solution for cloud security and cost savings.
How has it helped my organization?
Xops helped us mitigate the frequent external attacks that we have trying to curb for a long time now. More importantly, it helps with an easy-to-understand dashboard where I can monitor the services in use, optimizations, and ultimately the costs.
What is most valuable?
The most valuable aspects of the solution include the Cloud FinOps Dashboards and the vulnerability scans.
What needs improvement?
I do not have notes for improvements.
For how long have I used the solution?
I've used the solution for one year.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We were using AWS directly, however, Xops brought in much-needed expertise to manage the services in an optimal manner and also improve the security.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The solution is the perfect fit for companies that operate in our scale.
What other advice do I have?
I'd rate the solution ten out of ten.
