Why Botix? Expert-Led FinOps vs Automated Tools
Fast, safe, measurable AWS cost optimization — in weeks, not months.
Real result: Through our 14-day assessment, one client identified a 36.8% compute cost reduction opportunity through EC2 rightsizing, which they implemented with zero service disruption. See full case study →
Tools vs Expert Guidance
Why CloudHealth, CloudCheckr, and similar tools aren't enough for meaningful cost optimization
Tools-Only Approach
Limited by automation alone
Generic rule triggers that ignore business context — can cause production issues during load spikes
No workload criticality awareness — treats dev instances the same as production databases
Conflicting recommendations due to incomplete metadata or tagging gaps
No implementation support — you're left figuring out execution and rollback plans alone
Single-cloud algorithms — limited multi-cloud optimization intelligence
Result: 10-15% savings, 3-6 month timelines, implementation risk
Botix Expert Approach
Human expertise + intelligent tools
Context-aware recommendations that understand your SLA requirements and business seasonality
See seasonal traffic case →Custom analysis scripts for your specific architecture — not generic one-size-fits-all rules
Safe, reversible changes with tested rollback procedures documented before execution
Read rollback story →Client approval required before any change execution — you stay in control
AWS-focused expertise with multi-cloud capabilities for hybrid environments
Result: 25-40% cost reduction depending on baseline, 2-week assessment, read-only access
Speed That Matters
While others take months, we deliver actionable recommendations in weeks
*Actual timing depends on account size and access complexity — based on typical mid-scale AWS accounts

Three Key Differentiators
What sets Botix apart from tools and generic consultancies
Safety First
Our non-negotiable standard: every optimization is designed to be fully reversible with documented rollback procedures.
- Client approval required before any change execution
- Tested rollback plans validated in staging environments
- Gradual deployment with monitoring at each step
- Critical-path protection — throttled operations with real-time alerts
Real example: In one AWS engagement, we rolled back a Graviton migration within 90 minutes after detecting latency degradation — with zero user impact. Read case →
AWS-Focused Expertise
Deep AWS specialization with proven results across EC2, Lambda, EBS, RDS, and more.
- EC2 rightsizing: identified 37% compute cost reduction opportunity →
- Lambda optimization: identified 42% cost reduction opportunity →
- EBS cleanup: identified 45% storage cost reduction opportunity →
Multi-Cloud Note: While our published cases focus on AWS, we also provide optimization services for Azure and GCP environments.
Proven Results
Our assessments typically identify cost reduction opportunities of 25-40%, depending on baseline inefficiencies and optimization potential.
Implementation timeline: Savings materialize as you implement our recommendations. Most clients realize full savings within 2-4 weeks of completing our assessment.

Side-by-side comparison with tools and generic consultants
| Capability | Cost Tools | Generic Consultants | Botix |
|---|---|---|---|
| Time to Results | 3-6+ months | 3-6 months | 2 weeks (typical)* |
| Implementation Support | None | Partial / Advisory | Recommendations + Guides |
| AWS Expertise | Generic Rules | Varies | Deep / Specialized |
| Risk Management | High Risk | Medium Risk | Read-Only / Reversible |
| Ongoing Support | Tool Licenses Only | Project-Based | Continuous / Governance |
| Typical Savings** | 10-15% | 20-30% | 25-40%+ |
* Actual timing depends on account size and access complexity
** Savings range varies by baseline inefficiencies — see case studies for specific examples
Common Questions
What we mean by "reversible changes"
All our recommendations are first validated using historical metrics and staging-like analysis. Changes are executed incrementally with documented rollback steps at each phase. No change goes live without client approval. We test rollback procedures before deployment.
Why our cases don't show client names
Due to confidentiality agreements, we anonymize all client data in public materials. On request and under NDA, we can share redacted dashboards and connect you with references who've authorized disclosure.
What if savings are lower than projected?
We use conservative baselines and stress-test our projections against multiple scenarios. Our assessment reports clearly separate "high-confidence quick wins" from "potential long-term optimizations." Results vary based on your current optimization state and architecture.
