I connected the app and poked around a bit. I like the visual representation of my infrastructure, and especially liked the visual mapping of interconnected services. As others have said, I find the pricing model to be off. Additionally, the app UI looks ands feels dated.

Glad you liked the app. Right now we are trying to focus on functionality rather than UI. It is already being undertaken by the design team. I would really appreciate if you could provide some suggestions. Right now I am reaching to the community to understand the gaps that we should fill for that reason your feedback would be of value to us.

  Hijacking thread to provide suggestions: - Don't have a desktop app (and if you do, use Electron) - Don't force me to sign in to your app in the first instant (why can't I just use my AWS IAM credentials and you funnel them via your server for setting up my account??) - Don't open in full screen at a 1997 game resolution with ugly blurry assets - Don't have the app (OSX) whine about the location I started it from (~/Downloads/), and if you must (what's the reason anyway?) then give me an easy way to quit not hidden in a menu (after taking away my window chrome) The experience of opening and using your current app has all but assured that I'll never use the product again, which is a terrible shame because I've very recently hurt very badly for a AWS global inventory with associated cost predictions tool.

    Fwiw, the app opened in full screen, in the right resolution for me (Macbook Air 2014). Also, why electron? I really like native apps, much faster/smaller.

  I have no idea what the colours mean. It appears they are somewhat random, and your site/the documentation makes no attempt to describe the "colour coding", apart from that it's helpful, which it isn't.

    The colors are segregated based on the metric that is selected for each resource. Higher value metric color is red and the lowest one is blue. Others come in between. Let me know if you have any other queries.
