Review on AutoScalr by Juan Castillo

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great tool to help control costs and simplify automation

I have used this product for almost two years now, it's been very useful in creating automated rules that reduce our AWS bill by 30% or more each month without any human intervention (which is always good). Some of its features are not as powerful/easy at other products like CloudWatch Automate - but they've added new functionality recently so you can use both together if needed! Make sure your account has enough credits available before purchasing because once purchased there aren't refunds unless something goes wrong with billing which thankfully hasn’t happened yet :) We were able automate some time consuming tasks such building out templates through Jenkins pipelines etc., we also had much faster response times when using them instead manually doing things ourselves.
