The challenge
Manual reporting slows down processes
Existing FinOps solutions don’t offer true visibility
Lack of price estimation lets unexpected costs mount upTick-tock goes the money clock..
No business can afford to ignore cloud costs, and let’s be honest - until now it’s been a messy business.
If you’re smaller, you might try a low-tech approach, like spreadsheets - but those are a recipe for manual errors. If you’re bigger, you’re probably using a FinOps tool - but it never works quite right and often leads to workarounds that are the very opposite of agile.
If you’re nodding your head in agreement, you’ll be pleased to learn that Cycloid has something else to offer you.
Based on data collected by Gartner, costs associated with cloud waste or overprovisioning were expected to exceed $26.6 billion in 2021
Why Cycloid?
Monitoring and cost prediction built-in from the bottom up
Wouldn’t it be nice to see how much you’re spending before deployment? Cycloid’s Cloud Cost Estimation - based on our open-source FinOps feature TerraCost - estimates the price of an infrastructure based on the related Terraform and is integrated into Pipelines and StackForms. This way your devs can automatically see the cost of their deployment before they hit play and avoid unpleasant surprises.
Devs can autonomously manage costs
One person with all the FinOps power isn’t the DevOps way. That’s why the Cycloid FinOps module allows everyone - your devs, your ops, your management - to see how much their planned changes will cost, and use that information to make better decisions. Autonomy is a key element of DevOps, and we don’t think it should stop when it comes to getting the bill.
True visibility throughout the SDLC
There’s a way to make technical info accessible to everyone and Cycloid’s found it. In our one-of-a-kind Cloud Cost Management module you can get a graphical representation of your costs in a simple visual interface and customize it by project, provider (AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform and more), tag, region, date and more.
Cloud costs are the very last thing you should leave to chance
Life the Cycloid way
Cost control
No more prescriptive cost control or unexpected expenses - if everyone’s responsible for cost management, nothing gets lost in translation.
Greater visibility
Transparency and collaboration lead to better cloud decisions and safer innovation.
Exponential growth
Autonomous devs make for leading-edge growth and faster software delivery.
