The FinOps platform that drives action, not just visibility.

FinOps is the practice of managing cloud spend as a team sport between finance, engineering and whoever runs your infrastructure. In practice it means three things: knowing what you are spending and why, putting a name against each thing worth fixing, and checking afterwards that the bill actually went down. It is a way of working rather than a piece of software, which is why most of the difficulty is organisational rather than technical.

No — that is the case Emnode is built for. It automates the jobs a practitioner would do by hand, so existing engineering and finance people run the process in a few hours a month rather than as a full-time role.

No. Certifications exist and are useful if you intend to build a formal practice, but nothing on this page requires one. Emnode is designed so the judgement calls left to you are ordinary engineering and budget decisions — whether to right-size an instance, whether a saving is worth the change window — rather than anything that needs specialist FinOps training.

Four things: what changed in the bill since last month, which savings were closed and what they were worth, which ones have an owner but no movement, and which unclaimed opportunities to pick up next. The reason most teams skip it is that someone has to assemble all four first.

By watching the daily billing data rather than trusting the estimate. Emnode compares daily spend against what it was before the change, and once three days of the saving are confirmed the opportunity is marked verified — then it keeps checking, because a right-sized instance can be scaled back up and a deleted resource can be recreated.

Usually by giving them one artefact instead of two. Finance works in budgets, forecasts and variance; engineering works in instances, services and accounts. Emnode holds both against the same underlying data, so a conversation about a budget overrun can be traced down to the services that caused it, and an engineering change can be reported back as a figure finance recognises. The shared object is the savings list, because both sides can agree on what it is worth and who is doing it.

No. Good tagging makes cost allocation more precise and is worth doing eventually, but it is a common reason teams stall before they have saved anything. Emnode works from billing and usage data at the account, service and resource level, so you get a ranked list of what to fix on day one whether or not your tags are tidy. Improve allocation later, once the process is running.

It centralises cloud cost data, surfaces savings opportunities, tracks anomalies and gives each stakeholder the view they need: budgets and forecasts for finance, ranked technical actions for engineering, progress reporting for leadership. Emnode adds the layer most platforms leave out — ownership and verification — so a recommendation has a name against it and a proved outcome rather than an estimate.

Two ways. Most tools stop at visibility: they show you the bill and leave the follow-through to you, which is also what AWS Cost Explorer and Azure Cost Management already do for free. Emnode is built around what happens after the finding — an owner, a status, a monthly review and a saving verified against the bill. And it assumes you have no FinOps practitioner, so the process runs on a schedule rather than on somebody remembering.

Read-only. Emnode does not modify your infrastructure. It reads your billing, usage, compliance, backup and monitoring data, then recommends. You decide and act.

AWS and Azure, in one platform. Connect either or both with secure read-only access in minutes each. See the AWS and Azure pages for cloud-specific detail.

You trial the plan you pick for 14 days, with no card needed until it ends. If you don't subscribe, your account drops to the Free tier — an open-ended high-level view across cost, compliance, reliability and monitoring — and you can upgrade whenever you're ready. No surprise charges, and you can disconnect your cloud accounts at any time.
