CloudSpend
CloudSpend analyses and allocates spending across AWS, Azure and Google Cloud.
For cloud estates that need to track spending, budgets and resource use across supported platforms.
Analyse cloud spend across AWS, Azure and Google Cloud
Cloud spending can be difficult to interpret when usage is spread across cloud platforms, teams and projects. Without clear allocation and reporting, it is harder to identify the drivers behind a bill, track budgets or spot an unexpected increase in spend.
CloudSpend analyses cloud spending and usage across AWS, Azure and Google Cloud Platform. It provides dashboards and granular reports, allocates costs, manages budgets, detects unusual spend patterns and forecasts future costs. Recommendations for rightsizing and unused resources help teams focus their optimisation work.
Where CloudSpend is used
CloudSpend is suited to reviewing multi-cloud expenditure, assigning costs to internal cost centres, teams or projects, and supporting chargeback or showback. Teams can use budgets and anomaly detection to investigate unexpected spending patterns, while forecasts support planning for anticipated cloud costs. Resource recommendations provide a starting point for reviewing unused or oversized cloud resources.
Suitable environments
CloudSpend is applicable to cloud estates using Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform, or a combination of these platforms. Its scope is cloud cost visibility, allocation, budgeting, analysis and optimisation recommendations across supported cloud environments.
