✦ Introducing Sandman ✦

Stop paying your Azure VMs to do nothing

Sandman automatically shuts down Azure VMs when shifts end, notifies users via Microsoft Teams, and lets them postpone with one click — so you save money without disrupting anyone.

How It Works

1

Schedule

Define shift start & end times for each VM through the admin dashboard

2

Notify

At shift end, the user gets a Teams message: “Can we stop your machine?”

3

Postpone

Need more time? Pick 1–3 hours directly from the Teams card with one click

4

Deallocate

VM shuts down automatically — savings are logged to the dashboard

Trust & Compliance

SSO — Microsoft Entra ID Sign in with Microsoft Entra ID—no separate Sandman password. Access follows your existing users, groups, and identity policies (MFA, conditional access).
Self-Hosted on Your Azure VM Deploy on a VM in your Azure subscription—credentials and data stay in your tenant. Connects through your app registration, not a shared SaaS backend; you choose region and hardening.
Made in EU Developed and supported from the Czech Republic (EU). Built for teams who want cloud savings without sending management data overseas.
14-Day Guarantee First paid Startup or Scaleup purchase on Azure Marketplace: full refund of Sandman software fees within 14 days if Sandman isn’t right for you. Email support@yourcloudtools.com.

Pricing & Estimated Savings

How many VMs do you run?

1 VM

4 vCPU · 32 GB · ~€200 / VM / month Calculator uses an illustrative ~€200 per VM per month (4 vCPU, 32 GB; same numeric basis as tier prices). Formula: hourly VM cost × 22 weekdays × 8 hours off-hours × VM count, minus tier price. Estimates assume D-series Azure–style VMs running 24/7 with modeled off-hours shutdown; actual savings depend on size, count, and schedule.
