The best Umbrella alternative
Customers and partners who trust our multi-cloud platform
The multi-cloud FinOps platform MSPs can rely on
Umbrella’s history includes multiple ownership changes and rebrands, similar to the disruption seen with first-generation platforms like CloudHealth. In 2021, Anodot acquired cloud cost management startup Pileus, integrating its technology into Anodot Cloud Cost Management. In 2025, the product was rebranded as Umbrella, a dedicated FinOps business unit within Anodot. For organizations seeking stability, clarity, and depth in a multi-cloud FinOps platform, Ternary is the best Umbrella alternative. Below, you can compare the key features of Ternary vs. Umbrella.
