We performed a comparison between Azure Cost Management and Cloudability based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Cloud Cost Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The initial setup is straightforward."
"The features that I have found most valuable, are the trend analysis and the budgetary trigger."
"Cost management is the console's most valuable feature."
"What I like the most about Azure Cost Management is that it's similar to a native service, and it has very well-defined product features, particularly if a customer is moving to Azure, then it gives proper insight in terms of compatibility and what benefits a customer can get from the solution."
"Microsoft's technical support is good."
"It is a fully scalable product with the potential to enhance our application and increase our servers. All cloud-based solutions are fully scalable."
"We use Azure DevOps, and the product helps us understand the cost with the help of the Azure DevOps center."
"The best thing about Azure Cost Management is the cost analysis functionality because it provides regular alerts."
"It provides us visibility, then we can turn around and can give the leadership team more information, which we could not previously give them."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its ability to create reports and dashboards."
"The pricing isn't too expensive."
"Transparency and visibility are the key features."
"The most crucial feature in reducing my cloud costs has been the rightsizing recommendations, along with the dashboards that track reserved instance spending coverage and utilization. As for Cloudability's integration with our existing cloud infrastructure, it's not integrated directly into our AWS infrastructure but rather reads and pulls data from it, providing valuable insights and analysis for cost management."
"Each user can have their own dashboard that they want to consume. Instead of having to share one dashboard for multiple users, you can create individual views for each user to view, and that view will contain only their own accounts, which allows for separation of data."
"The tool helps us to resize on AWS correctly."
"The sizing recommendation will look, and say, "You are only using this at 80%," then recommend a better fit for you."
"The policy-based remediation is probably the biggest area where Azure is lacking and that's why we sell a lot of our technology to our customers."
"It would be nice if they could introduce connections to other clouds. It would be good to connect to AWS and Oracle cloud."
"The solution could improve its APIs to access the customer application."
"The solution's technical support should be faster, more knowledgeable, and customer-friendly."
"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."
"The response time of customer support can be improved."
"The tool's pricing should be made cheaper."
"I haven't detected anything that needs improvement, but any solution could be improved."
"In general, I feel Cloudability wasn't able to support many resources."
"I would like the API functionality to improve. The update time after uploading data could also be improved."
"Right now, what we're doing is we are manually putting the data in it, which is something which we don't like about Cloudability."
"I wish there was a feature to temporarily remove certain recommendations from the list for teams that couldn't implement them immediately. I believe Cloudability could improve its automation functionality and enhance cost allocation modeling."
"Cloudability needs to focus on more cloud providers."
"The API is not well-documented. It is not straightforward and difficult to use. This needs to be improved, as it is very difficult for our developers to develop automation around it."
"There is always room for improvement in education and training. We are not that mature in terms of our automation. It could help us identify where we could optimize in terms of build."
"The dashboard needs to include more graphs per team to show what individual teams are spending in a given time period."
