CloudMonitor Enterprise FinOps (FOCUS) - Azure Cost Management & Optimization
by Data-Driven
Lower your cloud costs with cost optimization, recommendations and a strategic Azure FinOps strategy
The CloudMonitor FinOps open-source reports identify cost-saving opportunities so you pay only for what you need. It finds oversized or unused resources and suggests improvements based on utilization patterns.
We've helped hundreds of customers lower their cloud spend and avoid bill shock. Many of our customers have sprawling Azure estates with out-of-control costs and are unaware if resources are correctly scaled or even in use. CloudMonitor solves these challenges by focusing a cost, security and governance lens on your Azure resources. A government customer was able to save $107 000 / 22% on their annual cloud bill with a week of effort. Wastage is rampant!
Unlike other tools on the market; CloudMonitor lives inside of your Azure cloud so your sensitive cost data
does not leave your organization. We extend the Azure Cost Management tool with a suite of cost analytics Power BI
dashboards that can be extended to suit your needs plus a Teams bot that surfaces recommendations directly into your
development workflow as soon as resources are spun up.
