Cons
"I would like to see the forecasting models improved with AWS Cost Management.""The solution needs to have its own dashboard for seeing details on it.

This means we need to drill down billing reports to highlight and fix missing tags.""The response time of customer support can be improved.""The affordability of licenses and subscription fees is a critical consideration, as not all companies can easily manage the cost of expensive licenses."
