Kubex Included in Forrester’s Cloud Cost Management and Optimization Solutions Landscape, Q3 2026

A vendor saying it plays in a market is one thing. A respected independent research firm saying so is another. That’s why I’m pleased to share that Kubex has been included in Forrester’s The Cloud Cost Management And Optimization Solutions Landscape, Q3 2026.

Why inclusion matters

Forrester’s Landscape reports aren’t rankings. They don’t score vendors. They exist to help technology leaders understand a market and decide which vendors are worth a closer look. Forrester defines the criteria for inclusion, and Kubex met them alongside the hyperscalers and some of the largest names in enterprise software.

For buyers, a report like this is often where a shortlist starts. For us, it is consistent with what our customers have been telling us for a while: Kubex solves a problem that matters, and it does it in a way that stands out.

The market is shifting to AI, and so is the cost problem

The market context behind the report lines up closely with what we see every day. FinOps is no longer just about the cloud bill. Teams are now accountable for spend across the whole technology estate, and AI is the hardest part of it. GPUs are expensive, the consumption models are new, and tying AI spend to business value is a challenge most organizations haven’t solved yet.

Basic cost visibility has become table stakes. Buyers increasingly judge vendors on how deep their automation goes and how well they handle emerging workloads.

“AI has changed the economics of infrastructure. A single poorly sized GPU workload can cost more than an entire cluster of traditional applications, and most teams can’t see it, let alone fix it. We built Kubex to understand how AI and Kubernetes workloads actually consume resources, down to the GPU partition, and to act on that safely through policy-driven automation. Being included in Forrester’s landscape suggests the market is looking for exactly that.”

What’s next

This recognition follows our naming as a Leader in two GigaOm Radar reports earlier this year. Together they point the same way: the market is moving from seeing waste to eliminating it, especially for AI. We intend to keep leading that shift.
