“Good tool with nice slicing and dicing of cost”

4.0
Oct 17, 2025
The tool provides details on the overall cloud spend and cost optimization recommendations in a single view, which is really good for planning for optimizations. Faced challenges with Cloud Recommendation feature 1. The new UI is difficult for some users to find where the option is to 'exclude/mark done' the recommendations. 2. Observed in many cases that after marking an item as 'Done' from the recommendation, it does not remove it from the recommendation 3. When an action is taken upon a recommendation in the Cloud account and not marked as 'Done' in the Anodot, it does not track or mention the savings achieved for such cases. The product could also include custom parameters on which I want to see my cloud infra stands. for ex. how many high-cost vs low cost EC2s, if I can define high and low cost.

Umbrella Likes & Dislikes

Like

A one stop solution for all cloud cost optimization and cost spends with all the details of the resources and the recommendations. Slicing and dicing across various parameters, tags etc. is powerful. One can create a scheduled report to be shared with people. Some features, like the ability to show cost data for years and with details, are at times better than the public cloud provided cost reports.

Like

Anomaly detection, customizable dashboards, automated alerts

Like

The standout strengths are clear multi-cloud cost visibility, AI driven (including CostGPT) and strong reporting and forecasting capabilities that support FinOps practices.

Dislike

1. The new UI is not easy to maneuver. Options like tagging the cloud recommendations are not easily visible, they appear in the very bottom corner of the page. 2. Marking Cloud recommendations may not always reflect.

Dislike

The learning curve for getting started with Anodot has been steep, and could be overwhelming for new users. It takes time to understand and utilize the features of the product effectively.

Dislike

The main issues are limited customization in some reports, fewer out-of-the-box integrations compared to larger competitors, and the need for better documentation for advanced use cases.

    Strong Reporting and Forecasting Offset by Immature Advanced Features and Documentation

    4.0
    Jan 29, 2026
    Overall experience has been positive due to string visibility into cloud costs and clear optimization insights. The platform is intuitive once configured and helps teams quickly identify waste and savings opportunities. Some of the advanced features still feel immature and require more tuning.
