Case Study: SonicWall Achieves Unit Economic Efficiency with CloudZero

How SonicWall Drove Unit Economic Efficiency with CloudZero

SonicWall, a cybersecurity SaaS company, struggled with limited cloud cost visibility across AWS, Azure, and Atlas, which made its cloud spend feel like a “black box” and left engineers unable to answer why costs were changing. To improve visibility and control, SonicWall turned to CloudZero, a cloud cost management platform focused on allocation, engineering engagement, and unit economics.

With CloudZero, SonicWall quickly improved cost allocation across products, environments, and owners, identified and stopped a cost anomaly during the proof of value, and began tracking demand data for a “cost per 1,000 firewalls” metric. The results included a 6x increase in engineering engagement, steadier cloud cost growth, and better unit economic efficiency, with SonicWall also reducing its cost to serve customers.
