Your Cloud Is
Wasting Money.
Do You Know How Much?

Cloud Wastage Is Often Hidden in Plain Sight

Your cloud bill grows every month — but the waste hiding inside it is nearly impossible to see without the right lens. By the time your team catches it manually, the damage is done.

The average enterprise with $250K/month in cloud spend is silently wasting $52,500 – $87,500 every month. That's over $1M a year — undetected, unreported, unrecovered.

The 6 Silent Drains on Your Cloud Budget

These are not edge cases — they exist in every multi-cloud environment. CoreStack detects all six, continuously.

💤

Idle & Stopped Resources

VMs, containers, and compute instances left running with zero utilisation — often from dev/test environments that were never shut down.

Up to 12% of total spend
📦

Over-Provisioned Instances

Workloads running on compute that is 3–5x larger than required. Right-sizing alone recovers significant monthly spend across Azure, AWS, and GCP.

Up to 15% of total spend
🗂️

Orphaned Storage & Snapshots

Persistent disks, blob containers, and database snapshots attached to nothing — quietly accumulating charges month after month.

Up to 8% of total spend
🔒

Unoptimised Reserved Instances

Reservations bought but underutilised, or on-demand spend in categories that should have been reserved 12–18 months ago.

Up to 10% of total spend
👻

Shadow Cloud Spend

Untagged, ungoverned workloads deployed outside central oversight — no allocation, no accountability, no visibility.

Untracked by definition

Cross-Cloud Data Transfer Costs

Egress fees and cross-region data movement charges that multiply invisibly across a multi-cloud estate without architectural governance.

$1.5M Saved in Cloud Costs — in Just Two Months

Examity, the global leader in online proctoring with 3M+ assessments per year, was struggling with escalating cloud costs and limited resource visibility. After deploying CoreStack, continuous monitoring and granular cost visibility delivered a 40% cloud cost reduction within 60 days — recovering $1.5M that had been draining undetected.

Tagging Compliance Across 100,000+ Cloud Resources

Synopsys (20,000 staff, 100+ global offices) needed accurate cost allocation across AWS, Azure, and GCP for chargeback by project and business unit. CoreStack FinOps+ delivered 100% compliance across all mapped tags — eliminating custom scripting and giving full multi-cloud spend control out of the box.

Already Using a FinOps Tool That Isn't Delivering?

Here is what customers moving to CoreStack say about the tools they left behind.

Switching from CloudHealth?

Since the Broadcom acquisition, customers report slower development, confusing support tiers, and rigid 12–36 month contracts at 2.2–2.5% of cloud spend. There is no Kubernetes cost visibility and no compliance story.

CoreStack counter: Modern governance built for containers, multi-cloud, and compliance — at transparent pricing, with a roadmap that keeps pace with your stack.
Switching from Apptio / IBM?

Apptio's TBM framework is powerful on paper — but engineers do not use it, implementation takes months, and the IBM acquisition has made contracts and roadmap opaque. Mindshare has dropped from 12.3% to 8.7% YoY.

CoreStack counter: All the financial governance depth your CFO needs — without the IBM price tag, 6-month implementation, or Finance/Engineering disconnect.
Scaling beyond Vantage?

Vantage is excellent for engineering-led cost visibility, but it has zero compliance, zero SecOps, and no MSP multi-tenancy. When your CISO, CFO, and compliance team enter the conversation, Vantage is not the answer.

CoreStack counter: Same cost clarity your engineers love — plus the governance layer for every stakeholder that Vantage leaves out in the cold.
Over-spending on Datadog CCM?

Datadog CCM requires you to pay more Datadog to manage your Datadog spend. Finance teams cannot work in it, there is no compliance automation, and it deepens single-vendor lock-in. Datadog itself is often the fastest-growing line item in your cloud budget.

CoreStack counter: Vendor-agnostic governance that works with your observability stack — not inside it. One platform your CFO and CISO can both use.

Every Month Without FinOps Is an Avoidable Loss

Most enterprises discover 15–30% recoverable waste in the first 30 days of a CoreStack assessment. The longer you wait, the more that compounds.

🔴 Quick Cloud Waste Estimate — $500K/Month Cloud Spend

Monthly cloud spend (example) $500,000
Industry average waste rate (21–35%) ~28%
Estimated monthly waste $140,000 / month
Estimated annual waste (if unaddressed) $1,680,000 / year
Potential recovery with CoreStack (avg. 40%) $672,000 recovered

This is a conservative estimate. Your actual cloud wastage could be higher.
