Explore costs

Learn more about North.Cloud's Visibility- Explore.

Explore allows you to view your cloud cost and usage data at multiple levels of granularity—including by month, day, or even by hour—so you can zoom in or out as needed.

You can filter and group your data by up to two attributes at once (such as service, region, project, or tag), making it easy to analyze specific cost drivers or usage trends. Automated KPIs are generated to highlight your largest spend areas and the groups with the highest percentage increases, so you immediately see where your attention is needed most. All results are presented in a table that you can easily export to share insights with your team.
