### "Easy way to save dollars spent on cloud"

October 20, 2017

5.0

We had a reduction in cost due to the fact our instances were no longer running 24/7. While we could have scheduled the instances ourselves it would take additional engineering cycles to do the work. We have limited resources available so this is a major consideration when picking tasks.

Pros

The incredibly easy to use interface. Rather than spend time creating scripts and functions to start and stop our EC2 instances, we can open the ParkMyCloud application and set the schedule for the instance I only want running for a limited timeframe. If you label your instances well then there is no reason that anyone in your organization couldn't manage the schedules for your cloud servers.

Cons

The only negative for me has been the fact that GovCloud is not supported. Many of our workloads run in the region and it would be very beneficial for us to have them included in the application.

### "Budgeting the AWS billing "

August 6, 2021

5.0

For me it took only 10 minutes to configure the whole setup and applying the schedule and ParkMyCloud is working like a charm for me .

Pros

Quite a straightforward software to assign the start and stop schedule for AWS instances and it also suggests the right sizing of the instantces.

Cons

Nothing to dislike, Console interface is good and having tons of help material and KB available on the respective website.

Alternatives considered

[Skeddly](https://www.capterra.com/p/160284/Skeddly/)

Reason for choosing ParkMyCloud

The charges of ParkMyCloud are based on the Instance and Account count whereas Skeddly uses to charge on the basis of the number of events.

### "Good solution for suspending instances"

January 24, 2017

3.0

We use ParkMyCloud to help reduce costs for our cloud environment. The interface makes it pretty easy to set a schedule and turn off machines off hours.

Pros

Ease of use, easy to set schedule

Cons

Could use a bit more functionality.. but overall what is there does the need.

### "Overall, this product is great at what it does and it saved us from having to code the process."

October 17, 2017

5.0

Saved thousands per month on a fairly small number of EC2 instances that were costly running 24/7.

Pros

\- Very easy and seamless to integrate into current AWS account. - Saved money per month after implementing a business hours schedule, all with a simple click of a button - You can team up accounts for user permissions - Supports multiple cloud accounts - Nice looking reports, although data could be skewed from static costs - The ability to snooze an instance for maintenance is great. We can have vendors control instance status without intervention. - Quick response on turning on/off an instance and maintaining that state if the change was done within AWS console itself. - Nice inventory/details of each instance such as IPs, instance type, instance ID, block devices, etc...

Cons

\- Charges for all ec2 instances whether in use or not. May have to craft special IAM permissions to limit the instances it bills on. - Projected/Actual savings is a bit off due to static costs, not considering if the instance includes SQL licensing - Can't forcibly shutdown an instance on errors, although AWS console supports this by issuing two shutdown commands.

### "Smooth sailing after setup"

October 19, 2018

5.0

Very positive experience so far. The customer support is attentive and very helpful. New features are constantly being added. Best of all it has massively reduced potential cloud hosting costs.

Pros

The PMC web interface is very intuitive and easy to use. There's a wealth of functionality available too. It can potentially save a lot of money in hosting fees.

Cons

The setup is a little fiddly in hooking up PMC with Google Cloud. It's mostly typing in a bunch of commands into a command line interface, but the help and documentation is very good. It just requires a bit of concentration to get it done.

I have been more than satisfied with ParkMyCloud

Pros

Scheduling test/QA instances is very easy and cost efficient

Cons

Not being able to group instances is less than ideal

October 29, 2018

Hi Max, thanks for your review! So glad you've found ParkMyCloud easy to use and cost efficient. Could you elaborate on what you mean by "not being able to group instances"? We do have a logical groups feature for scheduling resources as a group and for ordered startup/shutdown, see here: https://bit.ly/2voDvZg Have you used that feature? Or is there something else you're looking to do? Thanks so much, your feedback is helpful! -Katy

### "Cost-saving and simple, straightforward tool"

August 6, 2018

5.0

Pros

This was a great way for us to save money spent on cloud because we were able to use the ParkMyCloud App to schedule specific times when our EC2 instances would be running. This reduces the need to run it 24/7 and has reduced our monthly costs thousands of dollars. There’s no need for creating functions and scripts which means that virtually anyone can operate this because the interface is incredibly simple and easy to use.

Cons

The full-featured trial only last for 2 weeks and we’d really appreciate it if they extended that bit further so we can have a good feel for the software and how it fits into our organization. They do have a permanently free version, but we just want to have more time to decide whether we want the free or paid version.

### "Realy helpful tool "

December 29, 2020

5.0

ParkMyCloud helped we save money and electricity and made it easy.

Pros

I looked around for a similar service from google cloud directly, but ParkMyCloud seems to be the easiest option. It has worked for me for a few month and is easy to use.

Cons

Instructions could be better (and maybe they are by now) and the service stopped working for me at some point, but I believe it'll be easy to set it up again.

### "Saving money on cloud services and doing it for cheap... this is what ParkMyCloud is about!"

January 23, 2018

5.0

Saving money is always a good thing. They help you do that in a very simple way.

Pros

Saving money. Simply put you can save up to 60% by "turning off" (not exactly sure how they do it) the AWS instances that you are not using at the hours you are not using them. Basically you will only pay for the times you are working, not for the "off" time.

### "A Necessity for SaaS Companies"

November 28, 2019

5.0

ParkMyCloud has been critical in helping us monitor our spend and increase efficiency within our dev team.

Pros

I LOVE the savings that we have been getting from ParkMyCloud. Previously we were not managing our cloud spend very well and since implementing this software we have saved almost 10x what we are paying for it.

Cons

To be honest, I can't think of any cons. The only minor complaint would be that we were using ParkMyCloud inefficiently and weren't realizing any significant savings. If we could have figured out the real benefit sooner than we would have saved more money faster.

### "Great service that saves us a ton of money!"

February 1, 2017

5.0

ParkMyCloud is an excellent service that allows us to easily manage our AWS instances so that we're only paying for our AWS instances when we're actively using them. We were able to save almost 50% off of our monthly bill after about only 20 minutes of setup!

Pros

Very easy to use

Cons

We don't have any complaints!

### "Great Product"

January 17, 2017

5.0

I found this very easy to use. Configuration was a little wonky in that I could not just do a copy/ repeat for consecutive days that would be on the same schedule. Clicking all the individual boxes for an entire weeks worth of scheduling is tedious, but not a game stopper. Really like the product and its user friendliness. Price is spot on.

Pros

Easy setup Adding new accounts is a breeze Easy to navigate

Cons

Scheduling not repeatable on individual accounts, a lot of clicking to setup the schedules

Review Source

Response from ParkMyCloud

January 17, 2017

Hi George, thanks for the review! Sorry you found the schedule configuration difficult, we hope to make this easier in the future. (For future reference, you can actually click the day of week or hour of day header to select/deselect a whole row or column at once.) Also could you clarify your comment "Scheduling not repeatable on individual accounts, a lot of clicking to setup the schedules" - I want to clear up any usage issues you may have! Thanks again, Katy

### "Feature / Functionality Updates: Primary Logical Grouping and Access"

January 17, 2017

4.0

We are using the product in our Commercial Bank LOB. I was on the team directly looking to socialize this product out to our org and assure it would be able to scale from a management perspective. There are some features/functionality changes we would love to see implemented to better suit our needs/requirements. I think the biggest change would be a better way to associate and group instances into logical groupings AND allow those groupings only to groups (teams) of users. Also, another big update needed is LDAP/SSO integration.; this is huge for us. Managing separate logins is painful for our organization and doesn't align with enterprise architecture. After conversations around this product, my co-worker has taken the lead on managing PMC in our area and would love to have him connect w/ the team that could implement some F/F updates. -If he hasn't already... Thanks! Jarrett Fosberg Cloud/DevOps Engineer 504.444.1111

Pros

Ease of use.

Cons

manageability for enterprise and LDAP/SSO intergration

Hi Jarrett, thanks for the review. I'll send you an email regarding the feature & functionality requests for your team - we are happy to chat with about your needs & the product roadmap. Regarding LDAP/SSO, this is coming very shortly - within a few weeks. As for the logical groups, you can assign a logical group to a team - I'll include more info in that followup email. Best, Katy
