Benchmarks
The Benchmarks page shows how your FinOps practice compares against anonymized DoiT customers. An overall maturity score (0--100) places you in a Crawl, Walk, or Run stage, and a peer distribution histogram shows where you stand relative to your peer group. Two category cards break the score down into individual metrics so you can identify specific areas for improvement.
To access Benchmarks, in the DoiT console, go to Reporting and analytics > Benchmarks.
Filters
Use the controls at the top of the page to narrow the peer group and change the comparison baseline. All scores, deltas, and the histogram update when you change a filter.
-
Industry: Limit the peer group to a specific industry. Options include All industries, Software & SaaS, Financial services, Retail & e-commerce, Media & gaming, and Healthcare.
-
Monthly cloud spend: Limit the peer group by spend tier. Options include All spend tiers, Under $50K/mo, $50K--$250K/mo, $250K--$1M/mo, and Over $1M/mo.
-
Compare against: Toggle between Peer median and Top quartile to change the baseline used for metric deltas.
Maturity score
The hero card at the top of the page displays your overall FinOps maturity score on a 0--100 scale. The score is the average of the two category scores (Cost efficiency and Practice adoption).
A stage pill indicates your current maturity stage:
| Stage | Score range |
|---|---|
| Crawl | 0--39 |
| Walk | 40--69 |
| Run | 70--100 |
A stage bar below the score shows the three stages with a YOU marker indicating your position.
Peer group distribution
Next to the maturity score, a histogram shows the distribution of maturity scores across the customers in your peer group. Your position is highlighted in the histogram, and a summary line shows what percentage of peers you are ahead of.
Category cards
Below the maturity score, two collapsible category cards break down your performance into individual metrics. Each card shows its own category score and stage pill. Select the card header to expand or collapse it.
Cost efficiency
The Cost efficiency category measures how effectively you manage cloud spending. It includes the following metrics:
| Metric | Description | Direction |
|---|---|---|
| Preventable waste | Preventable cloud waste as a percentage of total spend | Lower is better |
| Effective savings rate | Realized savings compared to on-demand list price | Higher is better |
| Commitment coverage | Percentage of eligible compute covered by commitments | Higher is better |
Practice adoption
The Practice adoption category measures how well you follow FinOps operational practices. It includes the following metrics:
| Metric | Description | Direction |
|---|---|---|
| Budget coverage | Share of spend governed by an active budget | Higher is better |
| Anomaly response time | Median time to acknowledge a cost anomaly | Lower is better |
| Tagging & allocation coverage | Share of spend allocated to a team, product, or environment | Higher is better |
Reading a metric row
Each metric row displays four columns:
-
Metric: The metric name and a brief description.
-
You: Your current value and a delta showing the difference from the peer median or top quartile (depending on the Compare against toggle). A positive delta is green when it means you are outperforming the baseline, and red when you are underperforming.
-
Peer range: A band chart showing the 25th--75th percentile range, the peer median as a vertical marker, and your position as a dot. A label below the chart indicates whether a higher or lower value is better for that metric.
-
Your standing: A percentile pill showing where you rank among your peers (e.g., 72nd pctl).
Hover over the peer range chart to see a tooltip with your exact value, the peer median, the top quartile value, and your percentile rank.
Data privacy
Benchmarks are recomputed monthly from anonymized, aggregated telemetry. Your data is never shared with or identifiable to other customers.
