LJ
Medical professor at University of Lamar
Resource management in neuroscience has become faster and data-driven and now supports better studies
From my experience now, Archera has a very good program and useful tools. It is great, but as I said earlier, you can show more through social networks, sites, or training to help people use these tools. Formation is more specific. How can people such as me study and learn more about your program? Initially, they are very happy with Archera, which I appreciate. But perhaps if we can use the tool with more than one group of people and have shared information, that would be very good. If you understand me, it is about training and allowing more people to use it simultaneously. I see that when they are using it in their department, this group has maybe ten or twelve people who know about it. When I saw that, I thought it was incredible, and I want more information about it. They have given me information, but I want to learn by myself.
HM
Architect at Nagarro
Has helped define budget limits and monitor cost impact during long-term solution planning
There are areas in Azure Cost Management that could be improved; sometimes, as a start user or junior developer, if I try to understand which service consumed how much cost and look at different charts in the dashboards, it's difficult to understand which chart is representing what. Those interfaces could be made simpler. I'm not much into analytics patterns, so Azure Cost Management's Cost Analytics feature hasn't particularly helped my organization understand spending patterns.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The platform is very user-friendly, and it's helpful to have all the tools readily available without needing to send an email or do extra work."
"Archera is an all-in-one unit; all work is done in one specific way, which is very good for me."
"Using the product is a very smooth process, and they help you every step of the way, so it has been great and will not be hard for anyone to join and start using the product."
"The most valuable aspect of Azure Cost Management for me is the cost-saving recommendations based on our usage patterns."
"During the two years I've been working with this solution, it has only been down once or twice. Thus, I would rate the stability of the solution at nine out of ten."
"The interface is good, and it's easy to manage."
"The solution helps us diagnose and understand why some resources cost more so that we can fine-tune and reduce the cost."
"The most valuable features of Azure Cost Management are the ability to set standards or tagging policies and initiatives. You can achieve higher cost optimization."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution is the fact that it's extremely customizable, which makes it very flexible in terms of usage."
"Overall, I would recommend it to small and medium businesses."
"The cost analysis and exportability are the most valuable features of the solution."
 

Cons

"Maybe there are some tiny improvements regarding the UI, the configuration aspect, or integration capabilities."
"From my experience now, Archera has a very good program and useful tools. It is great, but as I said earlier, you can show more through social networks, sites, or training to help people use these tools."
"We don't have issues. We discussed with them that we wanted to have other clouds implemented with us, and they have been very helpful, going step by step in solving that issue."
"The solution needs an automated dashboard and better reporting."
"There are certainly areas for improvement in terms of labeling the inventory. That's because right now, we use a number of services. But it's difficult when you look at the billing limiters and how they are named. We can't correlate those names to the actual services there. So, I can't click on an item and see if I'm still using this service or not. So it just rolls up and gives me values and figures, but I can't really correlate them to actual services on the Azure platform."
"Be wary of unnecessary costs."
"I would like the developers to add more features about migration, like how much it would cost to migrate from, let's say, AWS to Azure."
"There are significant issues with Power BI integration at the moment, particularly with built-in applications for course management. Multiple features don't allow for efficient report generation. This is one primary concern. The second issue relates to reporting, even when using Power BI templates for course management. There are problems with data import that require manual entry. So, these are the two main challenges I'm currently facing. Another matter to consider is the removal of the markup option for partners. I'm not sure if it will be added back, but it used to allow marking up Azure usage for enterprise customers. I'm uncertain if there's an alternative way to achieve the same function. Partners need to mark up services when selling to customers, and it's currently unavailable for some products or services."
"For us, it only works for one provider. So we need to be more of a hybrid solution for any cloud."
"We lack a resource and ID login, and it would be good if they added it."
"The maintenance of the product by Azure's support team is an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
