with DoiT

Learn how DoiT Cloud Intelligence compares to Flexera when it comes to providing FinOps practitioners and DevOps teams with advanced, AI‑driven technology blended with human intelligence and expertise.

Essential FinOps capabilities

Multicloud support

DoiT is ideal for multicloud customers, offering advanced insights and optimizations across AWS, Google, and Azure.

Supports public clouds plus on‑prem, SaaS, and licensing spend. Primarily built for hybrid IT analysis and governance.

Cost allocation & visibility

DoiT delivers true unit economics with allocation of every dollar of cloud spend – at hourly granularity across projects, teams, and even shared resources.

Flexera uses rule-based and tag-driven allocation, with mapping capabilities across business units and licensing/SaaS cost integration. However, there is less emphasis on telemetry-driven unit cost modeling.

Cost anomalies

In addition to SKU-level anomaly detection with real-time alerts, DoiT provides descriptions of what caused a cost spike, as well as recommendations for how to remediate it.

Flexera’s anomaly detection is ML- and rule‑based with contextual analysis. It relies solely on batch ingestion cadence of billing data, and does not offer real-time alerting.

Taking action on FinOps recommendations

DoiT users can leverage automated workflows to take immediate action on recommendations, or create Jira tickets and track progress directly in the DoiT console.

Provides recommendations, but users must build or orchestrate remediation with external tools or scripting.

Advanced FinOps capabilities

Real-time responsiveness

Detects infrastructure and cost changes in real time; live topology maps and cost flows across accounts appear immediately.

Cost and environment mapping updates follow provider billing cycles; full visibility often requires periodic data ingestion and manual refresh.

Kubernetes visibility

Provides complete visibility across every cluster, with drill‑down into namespaces, workloads, containers—plus alignment of cost to deployment, team, or feature.

Flexera offers granular Kubernetes allocation & visualization down to the pod level.

Automated Kubernetes rightsizing

DoiT’s PerfectScale for Kubernetes slashes costs via autonomous rightsizing.

Flexera has no K8s rightsizing capabilities.

Architecture mapping

DoiT provides maps of the entire cloud environment, updated in real-time and overlaid with cost and performance data, providing FinOps teams with more context for their billing data and helping DevOps teams quickly diagnose problems for reduced MTTR.

Flexera offers some mapping capabilities, but they require additional IT visibility or migration planning modules beyond core FinOps licensing, and do not include real-time updates.

GenAI capabilities

DoiT users can leverage Ava, DoiT’s contextual GenAI cloud analyst. Ava helps generate reports, troubleshoot cost anomalies, and surface contextual insights across environments directly in the platform.

Flexera has no AI-powered conversational tooling or support within the product (beyond static dashboards).

FinOps and CloudOps Advisory

Driving innovation

DoiT customers get 24/7 access to 200+ cloud experts who not only help spot hidden architectural inefficiencies, but also consider your long-term business objectives to suggest new services that better fit current or anticipated use cases.

Flexera provides some advisory and consulting services separately, but these must be purchased separately and are not embedded in the product experience.

Training & enablement

DoiT’s support team provides strategic guidance, virtual learning engagements delivered by cloud-certified trainers, and continuous support to uncover blind spots in multicloud operations.

Flexera doesn’t offer any training or FinOps management support.

Savings recommendations

DoiT identifies savings recommendations for all three major clouds as well as Snowflake and Datadog, which can then be actioned and automated using CloudFlow.

Flexera surfaces recommendations via platform UI, but lacks native automation for remediation.

Why customers choose DoiT over Flexera

Schedule a demo

Real-time, Engineering-centric FinOps support

DoiT captures telemetry from cloud and Kubernetes environments in near real‑time, providing cost insights aligned with deployments and feature releases—empowering engineering teams to act swiftly.

End‑to‑end optimization, not just visibility

DoiT closes the loop by combining cost detection, contextual recommendations, and automated remediation workflows. Flexera excels at comprehensive hybrid cost governance, but doesn’t facilitate or automate action.

Built‑in FinOps expertise at no extra cost

Not only is DoiT’s GenAI assistant the most advanced on the market by simplifying cloud operations for both technical and non-technical FinOps stakeholders, but DoiT subscriptions also include strategic support from senior cloud architects and FinOps professionals—embedded directly in the platform and mission-critical workflows.

"Within a matter of weeks, the intelligence we got from PerfectScale by DoiT helped safely optimize our environment, significantly reducing costs and improving our application’s performance and resiliency. We have yet to see another tool in the market that effectively and accurately optimizes Kubernetes environments like PerfectScale does."

Richard Sayad, Sr. Director of Cloud Architecture at Paramount

“Having a trusted partner who can offer expert guidance to help us shape this function is of huge value to our business. Working with DoiT is like a partnership,” says Klaric. “As we develop the business, we plan to work even more closely together, as DoiT continues to support our future growth.”
