    Questions

    Well-Architected review FAQ

    What is Spotto?
    Spotto is the Cloud Operations and revenue intelligence platform for Cloud MSPs. It reads every client’s Azure, ranks what it finds by impact and effort, and turns it into reports and proposals your team can put in front of the client. See the platform.
    What is a Well-Architected review?
    A Well-Architected review is a structured assessment of an Azure environment against the five pillars of Microsoft's Well-Architected Framework: Reliability, Security, Cost Optimization, Operational Excellence and Performance Efficiency. It surfaces where the environment is strong and where there is high-impact work worth doing. In this offer, Spotto runs that review on one of your client environments and Jay Strydom reads the findings. From there, you go through the environment in the Spotto platform with Jay, and you take the Current State Analysis into your client conversation.
    Isn’t the Well-Architected Review already free from Microsoft?
    Yes. Microsoft’s Azure Well-Architected Review is a self-assessment anyone can take on Microsoft Learn: about 60 questions your team answers about a workload. Paid reviews on Microsoft Marketplace are consulting engagements: a consultant’s time, often with workshops, to look at the environment and help decide what to fix first. Spotto does the heavy lifting in that work. It reads the client’s Azure and scores each finding for impact and effort, highest impact first, so your architect spends their time on the advice. You get it written up as a Current State Analysis, and Spotto can draft the statement of work for the jobs your client says yes to.
    We already use Azure Advisor and Defender for Cloud. What does this add?
    Azure Advisor and Defender for Cloud do a lot of this well, and the review works alongside them. Every finding carries an impact rating and an effort rating, so you can weigh what is worth doing against what it takes to deliver. Every finding also reads two ways: a technical view of what needs to change, and a business view of why the outcome matters to your client. That gives you the words for the client conversation as well as the ticket. Jay Strydom reads the findings on your client's environment. Once you have picked the work, Spotto groups the recommendations you choose into delivery packages and drafts a statement of work covering scope, assumptions and acceptance criteria. You finish it and price it on your own commercial terms.
    Is it really free?
    Yes. One free client analysis per MSP, on one environment you choose. No cost, and no card. Reviews like this are usually paid work. This is the first pass, so you can see what's in the environment and how you'd package the work for your own clients. There's no obligation to go further afterwards.
    What do I need to give you access to?
    Read-only access to the Azure subscriptions in the one client environment you choose. That’s a set of read-only Azure roles at the scope you pick, plus read-only directory permissions that an admin in the tenant approves. We send you the full list before setup, so you and your client can check the exact scope first. Read-only roles show how resources are configured. They cannot create, change or delete anything, and they cannot open the data stored inside those resources, so blob contents, Key Vault secret values and database rows stay out of reach. You grant access in your own Azure portal on a setup call, with our guidance, and you can remove it once the review is done. For the full picture on access and data handling, read how Spotto keeps your clients' clouds safe.
    How long does it take?
    You grant access on a setup call, with our guidance. Spotto reviews the environment. You get the Current State Analysis in writing, and a walkthrough of the environment in the Spotto platform. Once access is granted, the review is usually done within a day. Bigger environments take longer. The step that most often adds time is your client approving access, so it helps to raise it with them early.
    What does the report look like?
    Email [email protected] and we'll send you an example report.
    What do I do with the report?
    It is your read on that one environment: the opportunity, the work ranked by impact and effort, and a roadmap. Use it to shape the conversation and the work you take to the client.
    Which clients is it best for?
    It works best on a client where the environment is bigger than the time you've had to dig into it, and where a clear, prioritised view would help you have that next conversation. One well-chosen environment tells you more than a rushed look across several.
