We Were Drowning in Cloud Tabs. So We Built Panoptes.
Three clouds. Four dashboards. One team losing hours every week just to get a basic answer: "How much are we spending?"
The Multi-Cloud Problem Nobody Warned You About
The moment your team decides to use more than one cloud provider, something quietly breaks in your workflow.
You start your morning by opening AWS Console. Then GCP. Then the Azure portal. Maybe a spreadsheet someone built three months ago that nobody fully trusts anymore. By the time you've gathered the information you actually needed, 45 minutes are gone — and you haven't written a single line of code.
This isn't a hypothetical. This is the daily reality for thousands of DevOps engineers, CTOs, and startup founders running infrastructure across multiple clouds.
The tools built by AWS, GCP, and Azure are excellent inside their own walls. The problem is that walls, by definition, keep things out.
What We Built
Panoptes is a multi-cloud management console that brings your AWS, GCP, and Azure infrastructure into a single, unified view.
One login. One dashboard. Complete visibility.
Try it: https://www.panoptes.software
We named it after the all-seeing giant of Greek mythology — Panoptes, who had a hundred eyes and missed nothing. That's the goal: nothing slips through the cracks.
What You Can Actually Do With It
☁️ Connect All Your Clouds in Minutes
Link your AWS, GCP, Azure accounts (and Kubernetes clusters) through a guided onboarding wizard. Read-only access is all we need — Panoptes never modifies your infrastructure.
💰 See Your Real Cloud Spend
Stop triangulating costs across three billing dashboards. Panoptes gives you a unified cost view — broken down by provider, by service, and by time period — so you can answer "where is our money going?" in seconds.
🛡️ Catch Security Issues Before They Become Incidents
Panoptes continuously scans your cloud accounts for common misconfigurations:
- Publicly exposed storage buckets
- Overly permissive access policies
- Unencrypted volumes
- Open network ports
- Missing authentication controls
You get prioritized findings with remediation guidance — not just a list of red flags.
🤖 Ask Your Infrastructure Questions in Plain English
The built-in AI Copilot lets you query your cloud data conversationally:
- "Which resources haven't been used in the last 30 days?"
- "What's driving our cost increase this month?"
- "Show me all storage buckets that are publicly accessible."
No SQL. No custom scripts. Just ask.
📊 Reports That Actually Make Sense
Generate executive-ready reports in one click — covering costs, security posture, resource inventory, and optimization opportunities. Perfect for weekly syncs, board updates, or client reporting.
🔄 Infrastructure Drift Detection
Connect your Terraform state and Panoptes will alert you when what's actually running in the cloud no longer matches what's defined in your code.
Who It's For
Panoptes was built for teams that:
- Run workloads on more than one cloud provider
- Are tired of switching between portals to get a complete picture
- Need to control costs but lack visibility across providers
- Want security monitoring without standing up a separate SIEM
- Have to report cloud status upward to leadership regularly
If you're a solo founder running a side project on a single cloud, you probably don't need this yet. But if you're managing real infrastructure for a real team — this was built for you.
Security First, Always
We know handing over cloud credentials is a big deal. Here's how we treat them:
- Every credential is encrypted at rest using industry-standard encryption before it ever touches our database
- Encryption keys are stored separately from the credential data
- Credentials are only used in-memory during sync operations — never exposed to the frontend or API responses
- We only ever request read-only access — Panoptes cannot make changes to your infrastructure
We're happy to answer specific security questions. Just reach out.
