StratoLens is a self-hosted Azure visibility platform. It runs in your own tenant; your infrastructure data never leaves it.

The Problem

Reserved Instances and Savings Plans lower your compute rates, but FinOps teams need a unified view to answer the questions that matter most:

Are we using what we bought? Utilization data needs to be at hand for every commitment, in one place.
What's expiring soon? Renewals require lead time, and a tenant-wide expiry view makes planning straightforward.
Should we buy more? Purchase recommendations for both RIs and Savings Plans deserve a single home.
Who's using our shared commitments? Shared-scope attribution to consuming subscriptions is essential for accurate chargeback.

Without one consolidated view, FinOps teams spend their time stitching reports together instead of acting on insights.

The Solution

StratoLens Commitment Coverage unifies every Reserved Instance and Savings Plan in your tenant into a single dashboard with specific recommendations:

Multi-window utilization: Azure-reported 1-day, 7-day, and 30-day utilization trends, sourced from Azure's hours-based data so the numbers match what you see in the portal.
Three types of alerts: Purchase recommendations (where to save more), underutilization warnings (where you're wasting spend), and expiring-soon alerts (what needs renewal attention).
Realized savings tracking: When underutilized commitments are resolved, StratoLens automatically tracks the savings delivered.
