FinOps on Autopilot: Reduce your Cloud Spend with Automated Cost Optimization & Governance
CloudMonitor monitors your cloud consumption costs and looks for cost-saving opportunities so you only pay for what you need. CloudMonitor finds oversized resources and services that are no longer in use and suggests best practices based on real-time utilization patterns. It implements the FinOps lifecycle framework for improved cost visibility, cost allocation, and chargebacks.

CloudMonitor scans your resources in real-time and alerts you if any services are oversized, unused or unnecessary. For example, do you really need to geo-replicate your Storage Accounts? That SQL Datawarehouse is only used at night – could we pause it?
Quite often a project finishes and the services keep running up a bill. Let CloudMonitor find those hidden costs for you so you can spend your money elsewhere!
The cloud portals are great from a technical point of view. But what happens if you want to assign multiple Resource Groups and Subscriptions for a project? How easy is it to report on costs, do budgeting and allocate costs to the project owners?
CloudMonitor does all of this at a Cost Group level which means you can group your costs to your projects or business units and chargeback appropriately.
The inbuilt Cost Management tools are great, however you have to know what to look for. CloudMonitor provides dashboards and reporting on your costs so that you can do things like see your costs by Business Unit (Cost Group) and not just Subscriptions.
Perhaps you want a monthly PDF Report sent to each Project Manager for their costs – with CloudMonitor you can do that!
Did a developer leave a SQL Datawarehouse running overnight by accident? Why wait until the end of the billing cycle to find out? CloudMonitor scans your consumption in real-time and alerts you if the latest cost is outside of the trend for that resource to avoid “Bill-Shock” at the end of the month.
CloudMonitor will catch things like leaving a Databricks cluster running without Auto-Shutdown turned on or spinning up a really big VM when a smaller one would do.
Alerts and notifications are only useful if someone receives them and knows how to take action. CloudMonitor goes one step further and offers remediation actions to solve the problem and reduce the cost for you so you don’t even have to open the cloud portal.
Set up and monitor your budgets with one simple interface. You can now set budgets for Cost Groups so that individual projects cannot exceed their allocated spend.

Why is Effective Cost Governance so Difficult?
There are many reasons why cloud costs are usually the number 1 concern in a company, from quick growth, big data storage, lack of processes, multiple teams using the same resources, to complex pricing and reporting.
CloudMonitor mitigates these issues by providing automated cost management and cost controls in real-time, 24×7 so you can sleep at night knowing that your costs are as low as they possibly can be!
CloudMonitor helps solve these common problems:
- Complex cost reporting
- Obscure Pricing Models & Price Calculators
- Disconnect between Costs, Budgets, and Usage
- Disconnect between the people spinning up resources and those paying the bills
- Lack of processes and time to educate dev teams on best practices
