See every dollar across Azure services, compute, storage, databases, AI, and networking.

- Subscription and resource group cost breakdown

- Tag-based cost allocation and attribution

- Azure Advisor gap analysis

- Anomaly alerts before budget impact

### Intelligent Savings

DeepWaste™ uncovers what Azure Advisor misses, from disk waste to OpenAI inefficiencies.

### Verified ROI

Findings flow to where engineers work, with tracking to prove what was fixed.

- Agentic remediation workflows

- Slack, Jira, Teams, ServiceNow

- Resolution tracking & validation

- Custom dashboards per team

## Explore Azure optimizations

### VM Optimization

Rightsizing, scheduling, generation upgrades, and idle VM detection across all series.

### Disk & Storage Optimization

Premium-to-Standard migration, orphaned disks, snapshot cleanup, and Blob lifecycle policies.

### SQL & Cosmos DB

Idle databases, DTU/vCore rightsizing, Cosmos DB RU optimization, and elastic pool analysis.

### Azure OpenAI Optimization

PTU utilization analysis, model deployment rightsizing, and PAYG vs. provisioned cost comparison.

### AKS Optimization

Node pool rightsizing, workload efficiency, DaemonSet overhead, and idle namespace detection.

### Networking & CDN

Unused public IPs, idle load balancers, ExpressRoute utilization, and CDN optimization.

## The cross-stack advantage no Azure-only tool can match

PointFive sees your Azure environment and every layer above it: Kubernetes workloads on AKS, AI deployments on OpenAI, data pipelines on Fabric and Synapse. We coordinate Blob lifecycle policies with application usage, detect PTU vs. PAYG mismatches, and find savings at the intersection that no point tool ever could.

## Built for engineering teams that move fast

### Guided onboarding

Connect through guided onboarding using agentless discovery integrations.

### AI-Powered, 24/7

Continuously monitors and acts on your environment with intelligent automation.

### Zero Savings Gaps

Full coverage across cloud, PaaS, data & AI. No blind spots, no missed savings.

### No Context Switching

Engineers fix issues in the tools they already use: Slack, Jira, Teams, ServiceNow.

## Connect through guided onboarding

- 01  Connect your Azure subscription with a read-only service principal

- 02  PointFive auto-discovers all services and resources

- 03  DeepWaste™ begins scanning and identifying optimizations

- 04  Review prioritized findings and start saving

## Built for security-conscious teams

- Discovery uses read-only access. Automated remediation requires customer-authorized permissions and approval before infrastructure changes are executed.

- Dedicated service principal with minimal permissions

- Data encrypted in transit and at rest

- SOC 2 Type II compliant

- No agents to install or maintain

## Common questions about Azure optimization

### 

For discovery, PointFive uses a read-only service principal with minimal permissions scoped to your subscription. Discovery uses read-only access. Automated remediation requires customer-authorized permissions and approval before infrastructure changes are executed. Connect through guided onboarding.

### 

PointFive detects waste across VMs, AKS, SQL, Cosmos DB, Azure OpenAI, Fabric, Synapse, Blob Storage, App Service, Functions, and more.

### 

Azure Advisor provides basic recommendations. PointFive goes deeper with DeepWaste™ detection technology, cross-stack analysis, and verified remediation tracking, finding savings Advisor can't see.

### 

Yes. PointFive provides full visibility into Azure OpenAI costs, including PTU utilization analysis, deployment-level cost attribution, and model efficiency recommendations.
