Why We Chose Vantage
AWS billing is notoriously complex. Hidden costs are buried deep, and businesses often don’t realize how much they’re overspending until it’s too late. “We chose to partner with Vantage because they offer an intuitive platform that makes it easy to find hidden cloud costs,” says Ryan Ryke, CEO of Cloud Life Consulting. “It’s not just about cutting waste—it’s about understanding where your money is going and making smarter business decisions.”
What really stood out to us was how quickly we can get started and see real value. Unlike other tools that require complicated setup, Vantage provides instant visibility into cloud spend. “You log in, and right away, you see where you’re overspending,” Ryan explains. “Not only that, but you can track usage over time. No complicated onboarding, no steep learning curve. Just clear, actionable insights.”
Beyond the technology, we were impressed with the Vantage team itself. “The people behind the product really sealed the deal for us,” Ryan adds. “They’re focused, sharp, and genuinely care about making cloud cost optimization simple. We love working with them.”
Tackling the Problem of ‘Cost Creep’
One of the biggest challenges businesses face with cloud spending is cost creep—those small, unnoticed charges that pile up over time. “It’s like checking your bank statement and realizing you’ve been paying for five streaming services you never use,” Ryan says. “AWS costs work the same way, but it's much harder to track because it’s more complex and buried deeper in the reports. There are always old instances running, storage you forgot about, and little fees that add up. Now, we can provide not only cost savings but approaching this like a process vs a project, we can drive real business value for our customers and help them make better decisions over time.”
With Vantage, our customers don’t have to sift through confusing billing statements or rely on manual audits. Instead, they get continuous monitoring and insights that help keep costs in check. “This isn’t just a one-time audit tool,” Ryan explains. “It’s an ongoing process that helps businesses optimize spending month after month.”
Real-World Savings
Even before our partnership with Vantage, we’ve seen firsthand how much businesses can save just by taking a closer look at their cloud spending. “In one case, we found $17,000 in monthly savings for a customer just by identifying misconfigured or unoptimized services,” Ryan shares. “That was without even going deep into their infrastructure.”
And it’s not just large-scale businesses benefiting. “Even with smaller customers, we consistently find around $10,000 in annual savings,” Ryan says. “Now, with Vantage, we can do this at scale, identifying even more cost-saving opportunities with far less manual effort.”
A Smarter Approach to Cloud Cost Optimization
Cloud cost optimization isn’t just about cutting expenses, it’s about making data-driven decisions that support business growth. “Vantage helps customers see the relationship between their business metrics and cloud spending,” Ryan explains. “For example, they can track exactly how much cloud resources are being used per sale. That’s the kind of insight that turns cost management into a strategic advantage.”
By integrating Vantage into our cloud management approach, we’re giving our customers a smarter, more automated way to stay on top of their cloud costs. Whether you’re running a fast-growing startup or managing a portfolio of businesses, this partnership ensures you’re getting the most value from every AWS dollar spent.
