Archera’s intuitive, no-fuss setup that allowed Esten Rye’s team at Platform9 to start saving on AWS costs without the hassle. In less than a day, Esten had Archera fully operational, complete with visualizations and commitment efficacy evaluation tools — all without needing to interact with sales or navigate complex pricing pages. Archera’s streamlined setup and accessible cost-saving tools impressed Platform9, helping them assess cloud savings with minimal risk and investment. Tune in to hear why ease of use and transparency make a big difference in a cloud rate optimization solution.

> “When I look at this from a standpoint of ‘what did I need to see,’ the theme I come back to time and time again is, especially for SaaS-based tools, your goal is to take it from zero to ‘take my money!’ in as short a time as possible. If I have to spend more than 30 seconds trying to figure out whether or not I want to use your tool because I have to go ‘ninja’ around your website to find pricing or to figure out how to avoid having to talk to a person if I don’t want to, because all I want to do is see if the tool is going to save me any money.

> The biggest thing is that I didn’t have to talk to a person to get set up. I literally had the entirety of Archera set up, operational, and joined to my accounts in less than a day. All the visualization was free, the evaluation tools were free — no approval needed.

> I’m like ‘how does this work, how does \[Archera\] make money?’ Then I dug into it and it made sense: I don’t spend any money and the only things you have access to are Reserved Instances, Savings Plans, and the Cost Explorer data — the risk was low. There was little investment on my part required to engage to get set up. It’s been a fantastic tool … I’ve been super happy.”
