4Cloud spending is on track to hit about $700+ billion by the end of 2025, yet more than one in five organizations say they lack clear visibility into what they actually pay for in the cloud. For AWS users, the pressure is even higher: roughly 53% of their bill goes to compute, while an average of 30% of cloud budgets is lost to waste. The numbers add up fast—oversized instances pile up, idle “zombie” resources quietly burn cash, and poor cost allocation erodes accountability.
Nearly half of organizations already report cloud costs running higher than planned, and many describe them as far too high, even as only around 64% make use of commitments like Reserved Instances or Savings Plans, leaving easy savings unrealized. What used to be a back-office IT problem is now a boardroom issue, where CFOs demand visibility, CTOs need control, and DevOps teams require actionable, real-time insights rather than more raw data.
