CGPulse review
Affordable AWS and Azure governance with policy, compliance, and remediation tools.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
CGPulse is a cloud governance SaaS platform for teams managing AWS and Azure environments. It scans cloud resources for configuration issues, drift, policy violations, and compliance findings. Its audience includes cloud security, compliance, DevOps, platform engineering, and technology leadership teams that need centralized dashboards, audit logs, finding resolution workflows, and remediation options across two major cloud providers.
The freemium structure gives smaller teams a practical starting point. The Free plan costs €0 per month and includes a dashboard, heatmap, resource graph, watermarked PDF reports, and 621 built-in rules. The €99-per-month Team plan adds unlimited scans, scheduled scans, IaC downloads, clean PDF reports, and a read-only REST API. At €299 per month, Business adds unlimited cloud accounts, unlimited scans and auto-fixes, hourly scheduling, a full REST API, an MCP server, and a 365-day audit log. A seven-day free trial is also available.
CGPulse stands out through its combination of compliance coverage and remediation workflows. The published feature set includes 621 policy rules across 19 compliance frameworks, custom YAML policies, one-click remediation for supported resources, and exports for Terraform, Bicep, and CLI workflows. Daily, weekly, monthly, and hourly scans are available depending on the plan. Integrations include Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services, Terraform, Bicep, Claude, Microsoft Copilot, and Cosmos DB. Teams that need AWS and Azure posture management with policy-as-code and automation should consider CGPulse; organizations requiring broader cloud coverage or a certified compliance audit should choose a different tool.
