what kind of savings do you expect a small-medium size company to see by using this?

and what are the advantages over just trying to just script a simple scheduler myself?

Depends on how many development VMs they have (CI boxes, jump boxes etc) and when they're off.

Typically you can save a third of those costs. We also can save a bunch of time from maintaining scripts, notifications, managing backups and sharing subsets of VMs with groups of users.
