Pier Cloud Reviews, Ratings & Features 2026 | Gartner Peer Insights

Gartner defines cloud financial management (CFM) tools as tooling that provides the ability to collect, organize, display, optimize and manage the investments in cloud computing infrastructure as a service (IaaS) and platform as a service (PaaS). They leverage algorithms, statistical models and/or AI/machine learning (ML) in support of cost reports, dashboards and/or other mechanisms/interfaces that provide capabilities to monitor cost, utilization and value indicators. This allows users to identify trends, anomalies and misaligned expectations, as well as opportunities to increase the efficiency of cloud configurations, architecture and contracts. CFM tools enable enterprises to collect and analyze public cloud cost and usage information and apply controls to define budget and cost policies to optimize spending on a continuous basis.

A ferramenta super nos ajudou com o nosso maior problema, que era as inúmeras regras que tínhamos e centralizar os dados, que antes eram espalhados em alguns locais (Power BI, Quicksight, etc). É uma ferramenta que possui uma visão clean e a forma como os dados ficam expostos, na maioria das vezes, é fácil de entender. Porém, a ferramenta temos recentemente, gaps quanto as atualizações dos dados que deveriam ser mais atuais. A ferramenta também tem limitações onde tem muita amarração dos dados, onde nem sempre, é possível criar uma visão totalmente só, precisando de um contato com o fornecedor, para conseguir o que desejamos.

The tool really helped us with our biggest problem, which was the numerous rules we had and centralizing data, which was previously scattered across a few locations (Power BI, Quicksight, etc.). It's a tool with a clean view, and the way the data is displayed is, for the most part, easy to understand. However, the tool has recently experienced gaps in data updates that should be more current. The tool also has limitations, such as the fact that data is too tied together, meaning it's not always possible to create a single view, requiring contact with the supplier to achieve what we want.
