Cast AI, the leading Application Performance Automation platform, today announced that it was included in The Cloud Cost Management And Optimization Solutions Landscape, Q3 2025, a Forrester report designed to help technology leaders understand the value they can expect from a cloud cost management and optimization solution and to explore potential partners.
According to Forrester: “In a time of economic volatility and uncertainty, the management and optimization of cloud spend has become a top priority for organizations. Average annual IT budgets stand at $199 million for 2025. As the ROI of FinOps — a practice dedicated to maximizing cloud value through technology-powered cloud optimization, process change, operational excellence, and cultural transformation to ensure IT financial responsibility around cloud investments — has been proven; executives are leaning on FinOps teams to manage the total cost of IT, making CCMO solutions a key enabling tool.“
For the Landscape, Forrester provides an overview of Cloud Cost Management and Optimization solutions that companies can use to optimize their cloud costs. The independent research firm highlights that cloud cost management and optimization solutions play a central role in companies’ FinOps journeys, and emphasized the need to rightsize overprovisioned instances, and choose the appropriate type of instance, using automation.
“We’re honored to be recognized by Forrester as part of their Landscape,” said Laurent Gil, co-founder and President of Cast AI. “We believe this recognition underscores our commitment to transforming manual, inefficient cloud operations through automation. Our Application Performance Automation platform is helping DevOps teams cut cloud costs, boost application performance, and operate with greater efficiency. We’ll continue pushing the boundaries of innovation as we expand and evolve our Kubernetes automation capabilities.”
