Traditional FinOps tools focus on tracking costs, not waste.

This prevents customers from maximizing spend by improving overall cloud efficiency.

The PointFive Solution

PointFive uncovers hidden waste, pinpoints root-causes, and delivers contextualized remediation recommendations into engineering workflows.
‍
Purpose-built for AWS, PointFive analyzes usage across 15+ AWS services to uncover inefficiencies missed by traditional tools such as idle resources, over-provisioned instances, and misconfigurations. PointFive is not a traditional FinOps tool though it does still report on spend. It is a Cloud Efficiency Posture Management (CEPM) platform and takes a holistic approach to cloud efficiency. Its DeepWaste detection engine surfaces waste hidden in routine resource usage and integrates with tools engineers already use, like Jira and ServiceNow, to deliver actionable, contextualized, prioritized recommendations and enable 1-Click remediation.

Benefits

Deep Visibility Across
AWS Services

Surface inefficiencies missed by standard tooling with a comprehensive view of usage across AWS services

Engineering-Aligned, Actionable Insights

Foster collaboration between FinOps and engineering teams by eliminating guesswork and manual analysis with contextualized recommendations integrated into engineering workflows

Automated Remediation
for Scalable Efficiency

Reduce waste, optimize workloads, and accelerate impact without slowing innovation with 1-Click Remediation

PointFive on AWS

PointFive’s CEPM platform empowers FinOps and engineering teams to move from cost tracking to improved overall efficiency, powered by the scale and innovation of AWS.PointFive compliments AWS’s robust infrastructure foundation by surfacing hidden waste, and integrating contextualized insights into engineering workflows to drive rapid, automated remediation. Significant waste reduction enables teams to reinvest savings into high-impact AWS services. This partnership accelerates cloud modernization and ensures customers maximize the value of every dollar spent in AWS. Together, they empower organizations to operate with greater agility.

Challenges

Before PointFive, the customer struggled toidentify and address inefficiencies within theirvast $250m cloud infrastructure. Lackingboth deep waste detection tools andmechanisms for comprehensive context, theyaimed to evolve into a more proactiveorganization with improved communicationand cloud governance.

Solution

During a three-week POC, PointFive surfaced millions in cloud cost opportunities. Its CEPM FinOps framework reduced friction and built trust by integrating seamlessly into existing AWS and engineering workflows. The framework included deep inefficiency detection, automated resource attribution, and guided remediation with embedded insights.

Results

PointFive delivered ROI within days, unlocked ongoing savings in the multi-millions of dollars. By embedding efficiency into daily AWS operations, it drove sustained engineering engagement and enabled over 1,000 engineers to take direct action.

Features

Automated Resource Attribution

PointFive drives faster, sustained cost optimization across complex, multi-team AWS environments. It integrates with AWS resource metadata and tagging frameworks automatically which allows it to assign ownership for every AWS resource. Engineering accountability removes the dependence on FinOps teams for analysis and decision making. Eliminating ambiguity around who’s responsible for inefficiencies addresses the challenge of unclear visibility and inconsistent responsibility.

Deep Waste Detection & Guided Remediation

PointFive detects misconfigurations in services like S3, DynamoDB, ECS, EBS, RDS, and kubernetes that go deeper than surface-level insights.It embeds these findings, including context and remediation recommendations, directly into engineering workflow tools like JIRA and ServiceNow. PointFive provides only trusted, actionable, and easy-to-implement recommendations. Earning engineers’ trust drives scalable, sustained efficiency gains.
