We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"I like the granularity of the tools.""We don't actually use the Azure Cost Management features. We have our own capabilities. We put our own technology on top of Azure as Azure doesn't deliver a really good cost optimization, so our customers come to us to enhance what they're potentially doing inside their Azure platform.""We use Azure DevOps, and the product helps us understand the cost with the help of the Azure DevOps center.""The most valuable feature of Azure Cost Management is cost optimization.""Azure Cost Management is user-friendly compared to other competitors.""The tool is very stable.""Microsoft's technical support is good.""My organization benefits from the tool's performance and time-saving features."

"The solution is mostly stable.""The best feature I like about CloudCheckr CMx High Security is its simplicity. I love that it's not rocket science to use the solution. Even if you're not familiar with the cloud, you can easily figure out how to use CloudCheckr CMx High Security. You can use AWS, you can use Azure, and you can use GCP with the solution because the integration is quite simple. You can also use multi-cloud with it, and you could see the billing part. You'll have complete visibility into your cost which I love about the solution. I also love that data on any security issues and vulnerabilities are available on the go with CloudCheckr CMx High Security. You don't need to do anything different. Just run the scan and you'll have all these open findings in the tool, in terms of the priority level, so if it's critical, it will tell you, "It's critical," and you need to fix it right away.""The initial setup is straightforward.""The solution is scalable for our purposes.""It's one of the leading players for cloud optimization. It's hard to find anything better.""The most valuable feature of CloudCheckr CMx High Security is granular reporting. Additionally, the user interface is easy to use.""It will automatically suggest areas for optimization.""The recommendation section is pretty helpful."

Cons
"The dashboard could be improved.""It can be difficult to determine the cost associated with certain resources as it relies on a tagging progress. This means we need to drill down billing reports to highlight and fix missing tags.""We have encountered delays in support.""Be wary of unnecessary costs.""What would make Azure Cost Management better is a more flexible GUI that would allow users to provide more input. Another area for improvement in the solution is its reporting. The report it provides should be easy to understand.""The solution needs an automated dashboard and better reporting.""I would like to have added to Azure Cost Management, drill down features from within the cost analysis reporting.""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."

More Azure Cost Management Cons →

"The solution must improve its user interface.""The solution needs to work better with larger capacities of data.""The reporting and analytic capabilities are very limited.""The performance of the tool really needs to be improved.""What needs to be improved in CloudCheckr CMx High Security is integration. All the clouds are going quite fast, for example, all the cloud providers: Microsoft, Google, etc. CloudCheckr CMx High Security is good with AWS, no doubt about it, but with Azure and Google Cloud, I find that the solution is slow in that direction. If the vendor planned for CloudCheckr CMx High Security to be automated just for AWS, then it does make sense. If not, if the vendor is also targeting good integration with Google and Microsoft, then CloudCheckr CMx High Security integration needs improvement, in particular, it has to be faster. At the moment, its integration with Azure is not as good as its integration with AWS. With GCP, integration is nowhere.""Many features still need to be implemented in this tool.""Self-healing could be a bit smoother and a bit cleaner, easier to access and more functional. That would help.""CloudCheckr CMx High Security is complex. There are a lot of menus, and if you do not know what you are looking for you can get lost. However, the interface is self-explanatory. It's easy to understand where to go to get what you want."
