COCKPIT (DextraData)

COCKPIT approaches cloud cost from the controller's desk. It is an IT financial management product first, built to plan IT budgets, build service catalogues and allocate costs by cause, and cloud cost management is one of the things it imports into that model.

The vendor describes the result as a single point of truth for IT and cloud costs and calls it FinOps-ready, which suits a finance function more than a cloud engineering team.

Planning, not optimisation

Direct forecast entry, scenario planning and out-of-the-box dashboards cover budgeting. The software imports cloud and SaaS costs and visualises business and service structures, helping answer audit enquiries about who consumes what.

The pages describe cost transparency and planning rather than rightsizing or commitment recommendations.

Published monthly prices

The ITFM module is priced by contract length: €999 a month on one year, €899 on three years and €799 on five years, each including one user, with additional full users at €35 per user a month. A free trial covers one module and one user, and Enterprise adds SLA, on-prem installation, whitelabeling and SSO.

Company behind it

The imprint names DextraData GRC Technologies GmbH in Essen, registered at the local court with number HRB 37332. The site cites a Gartner Market Guide mention for IT financial management tools.

Limitations to Consider

This is a finance-planning tool with cloud costs bolted in, so it offers no engineer-facing optimisation such as rightsizing, as far as the pages describe. Entry pricing starts at €799 a month on a five-year contract, which is a long commitment, and the monthly price covers one user. Supported cloud providers are not listed on the pages we read.

Who Should Use COCKPIT (DextraData)

IT controlling teams in mid-sized and large German-speaking companies that budget IT as a whole and want cloud invoices in the same system. Engineering-led teams should look at Costory or Hyperglance.
