Introduction to Finout's Suite of Features

Finout is a comprehensive cloud cost management solution that empowers FinOps, DevOps, and Finance teams to effectively manage and reduce cloud spend while improving profitability without requiring code changes or modifying existing tags.

Our comprehensive suite of features is strategically divided into three key phases of the FinOps lifecycle: Inform, Optimize, and Operate.

Inform

• MegaBill: Enables you to view all your costs for any cloud provider or service such as AWS, Datadog, GCP, Global, Kubernetes, Snowflake out-of-the-box and easily apply a wide range of quick and advanced source object filters to view the relevant categorized costs.

• Virtual Tags: Allows you to tag and aggregate various resources (across technologies) by creating rules that group and label costs. This eliminates the need to relabel the original resources. Each virtual tag comprises one or more rules.

• Dashboards: Easily visualize and summarize your costs with Finout's customizable dashboards and widgets. Choose from our library of predefined dashboards or create your own with ease, providing actionable insights for your FinOps strategy.

• Budgets: Enables you to identify overspending (and potential overruns) to improve cost control and help prevent unnecessary and unexpected expenditures.

• Resources: Lists all the service resources.

• Financial Plans: Finout’s solution enables you to plan your company's annual financial plan and expected budgets so that you can allocate accordingly by planning, managing, and monitoring cloud spending.

• Data Explorer: A powerful, insight-driven tool that enables users to generate comprehensive, multi-dimensional reports, offering unparalleled flexibility in aggregating data across various fields for tailored cost measurements and dimensions.

Optimize

• CostGuard: Finout “scans” and analyzes your infrastructure and identifies cost waste and cost optimization opportunities. As cost optimization is always a high priority, CostGuard provides a comprehensive solution that is seamlessly integrated with the MegaBill.

• My Commitments: Provides you with an in-depth view of your cloud commitments.

• Commitments Log: Provides you with a comprehensive audit and monitoring capability for all AWS Reserved Instance actions.

• Anomalies: Finout anomaly engine utilizes your MegaBill historical data to identify major cost anomalies that may occur. Anomalies can be sent as alerts to your email or as a message to a designated Slack channel.

Operate

• Reports: Presents daily, weekly, or monthly reports based on your dashboards. A report can be sent periodically to your email or posted as a message to Slack.

• Governance: Tag governance ensures consistent and effective resource management across cloud environments. It involves defining, enforcing, and monitoring organizational policies for tagging cloud resources, such as virtual machines, databases, and storage.

• Slack Notification Endpoint: This enables you to send notifications from Finout to a specific Slack channel or user.
