ManageEngine CloudSpend

Open CloudSpend, connect your AWS accounts and Azure subscriptions, and start trimming waste within the hour. The workspace ingests your usage and billing data, then organizes it into interactive views you can work with every day. Build saved breakdowns that mirror how you operate—by service, region, environment, application, or linked account. Switch between daily and monthly timelines to isolate spikes, then drill from a global rollup to a single resource with a couple of clicks. Use filters to compare teams side by side, highlight unusual growth, and bookmark any view you want to revisit during weekly reviews.

Next, set up cost allocation so every dollar lands in the right place. Define business units, projects, and cost centers, then map them to your existing tags and account structure. For shared infrastructure, apply split rules or percentages to distribute costs fairly. Generate showback or chargeback statements automatically at the end of each period, complete with line items by owner and service. If accounting needs detail, export the statement or schedule delivery to stakeholders. Over time, track variance against internal budgets and adjust allocation rules as your organization evolves.

Use the optimization workspace to turn insights into savings. Identify idle or underutilized instances and storage, get rightsizing suggestions, and rank opportunities by potential impact. Model commitment coverage to decide how much capacity to reserve and where reservations will pay off, then compare scenarios before you commit. Surface exceptions such as low-utilization databases or overprovisioned Kubernetes nodes, and hand off the short list to engineering with clear change notes. After changes are applied, monitor realized savings against the original estimate to confirm the outcome.

Create budgets for products, environments, or teams, set thresholds, and trigger alerts before spend drifts off plan. Schedule auto-generated reports that summarize trends, top drivers, and risk areas so leaders get the signal without downloading spreadsheets. Use tags to normalize naming, keep a running catalog of uncategorized resources, and fix labeling gaps as part of your sprint routine. With dashboards for both granular analysis and executive summaries, CloudSpend helps you review costs daily, reconcile monthly, and plan quarterly with confidence.
