"When you manage cloud operations for a global IT services provider—spread across AWS, Azure, and GCP—you're juggling complexity, pressure, and cost visibility all at once."
That was the reality for one of our customers: a leading enterprise with a massive multi-cloud footprint, struggling to track waste, enforce tagging, and prevent cost overruns before they hit the bill.
Their story isn't rare. But what they achieved next? That's what Cloudshot is built for.
They were spending more than they realized.
Cloud bills were bloated with idle resources, untagged infra, and oversized compute. Worse, the finance and operations teams spent 6+ hours a week just compiling reports to explain where the money went.
By the time the data was collected, the damage was done. They weren't just looking for savings—they were looking for visibility.
What Changed When They Adopted Cloudshot
Cloudshot was deployed in under an hour. And what followed was a transformation—one that made their cloud spend visible, controllable, and optimized in real time.
Full cost visibility across all accounts, clouds, and business units—within an hour
They connected AWS, Azure, and GCP into one unified Cloudshot view. Suddenly, Finance and CloudOps had complete visibility by team, region, and service—with no manual effort. That alone replaced hours of stitching together spreadsheets.
Automated detection of idle, untagged, and oversized resources
Cloudshot continuously scanned for waste that was previously hidden in the noise. Idle VMs, misaligned compute, untagged storage—it all surfaced instantly. No hunting. No lag. Just clean, actionable insights.
Instant cleanup recommendations and one-click optimization
For every issue detected, Cloudshot offered pre-vetted fixes—ready to review, approve, and execute. The team could act fast, without fear of breaking production. One-click actions turned months of backlog into minutes of wins.
Real-time budget alerts and anomaly detection
Cloudshot flagged spending spikes the moment they deviated from expected patterns. Instead of waiting for the monthly bill, alerts triggered within hours. The finance team could now investigate issues while they were still small.
$267,000+ saved through right-sizing, early spike detection, and optimization of shared services
From dev/test bloat to oversized shared infrastructure, waste was everywhere—until it wasn't. By aligning spend with usage, the company achieved six-figure savings without cutting performance. And every win was backed by clean data and team-level accountability.
The Time Savings Were Just as Valuable
Beyond the money, Cloudshot saved them time—valuable, strategic time.
"Cloudshot has transformed how we manage our cloud costs. The visibility and controls have made a huge difference to our bottom line."
With 6 hours a week reclaimed, the CloudOps team could finally shift from firefighting to forward planning. No more Excel patchwork. No more budget guesswork.
Why This Matters
If you're a CFO, FinOps leader, or CloudOps manager trying to answer these questions:
Where is our cloud money actually going?
Why are we seeing surprise spikes?
How do we optimize without disrupting the business?
You're not alone.
What this customer's story shows is that the answers already exist—if you have a system built to surface them, in real time.

Most cost optimization tools show you what happened. Cloudshot shows you what's happening.
