Customers
CloudRift is early, and honesty is the brand: we only publish testimonials from named, real customers who agreed to be quoted — no stock photos, no "a Fortune 500 company", no fabricated praise. As design partners go on the record, they will appear here.
Why I built CloudRift
"I ran cloud for clients for years, and the same thing happened every month: money quietly leaking on idle VMs and orphaned disks, governance gaps nobody had time to chase, and a board asking about carbon. I built CloudRift to surface all of it in one read-only scan — the tool I wished I'd had."
Kevin Proffitt
Founder, CloudRift · Principal Consultant, Proco Consulting
CloudRift runs in production across an independent consulting practice's client base. On two Azure tenants it cut monthly spend 43% and 50% — from $15,000 to $8,500 and from $6,000 to $3,000, with the same workloads running. That is roughly $9,500/month off Azure bills on two tenants alone, an annualized run rate of about $114,000. (CloudRift deployment records, September 2026. Named quotes will appear here as clients approve attribution.)
Early teams get direct founder access and a hand-run first scan in exchange for blunt feedback. What every partner gets:
A read-only waste scan of your Azure or AWS estate
Evidence-graded findings — idle VMs, orphaned disks, unused IPs — each with the utilization data behind it. Nothing is installed and nothing is changed.
Your number, in dollars
A concrete monthly figure for recoverable spend, not a percentage estimate. If the scan finds little, we say so.
Security answers before you ask
Read-only credentials, AES-256 encrypted, deletable on request; the write path exists only for actions you explicitly approve.
