This category helps you track your clients' cloud spending. You gain visibility into their usage across different providers and services. You'll find 9 products here. This helps you manage costs and ensure clients aren't overspending on resources they don't need. It's a critical part of modern MSP operations.
Look for clear dashboards and robust reporting. Cloud AIQ from Aquila Clouds provides unified real-time spend dashboards across major clouds, which is a big help. Rippling AI Spend Console, for instance, shows CFOs and CTOs visibility over AI expenditures and LLM usage. That's a very specific capability. Consider how well each tool handles granular data.
Many of these products don't yet integrate directly with common PSA tools like ConnectWise PSA or Autotask PSA, so plan on a CSV export. Orbitera is an exception, offering ConnectWise PSA integration. Flexera One from Snow Software Group optimizes SaaS, ITAM, and cloud investments. AndromedaFinAI explains cloud spend anomalies and recommends cost-saving actions, using its AI to pinpoint savings.
