Rating: 8 out of 10
IncentivizedUse Cases and Deployment Scope
We use AWS Compute Optimizer in our AWS department mostly for AWS compute resource deployment. It suggests the best use of our resources and tries to reduce cost as much as possible. It improves the scalability and reduces our efforts in trying to understand what resource or resources are not working as expected or identifies which resource is currently not in use.
Pros
- Detailed analysis of resource uses
- Suggestion to reduce cost
- Easy to use
Cons
- Although it works great for AWS services but they should give a third party cost add option
- Many features only work when there is large data available
- sometime suggestions are not relevant to business problem we address
Likelihood to Recommend
[AWS Compute Optimizer] is well suited for every company which uses AWS services and doesn't want to spend money for resources that they are not using. It is greatly helpful in terms of reducing cost and optimizing workflows. Although third-party integration cost cannot be calculated it is still very useful for understanding resources cost and efficient utilization of resources.
