Pros
"Our customers use it and like it.""The most valuable feature is that it helps us to better forecast and reduce costs.""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.""I like the fact that you can set alerts on the predicted cost in Azure Cost Management.""It encompasses a multitude of specialized services, each with its associated costs and considerations.""The best thing about Azure Cost Management is the cost analysis functionality because it provides regular alerts.""The solution helps us diagnose and understand why some resources cost more so that we can fine-tune and reduce the cost.""The tool is very stable."

"The solution is useful for cloud transparency and visibility in reports and dashboards that I have generated, especially the pre-populated dashboards.""The solution is good for cloud cost management.""The most valuable thing I have found is the cost saving recommendations""We are able to create an internal price of the product that we can then sell to clients. We get the cost plan at a good discount and then resell it with a mark up to our enterprise-level clients. This flexibility in pricing is one of the solution's best features.""The pricing is rather competitive right now.""This solution is fast and very easy to understand, even if you are not a technician.""It's stable. For report presentation, it's been fast.""We use dashboards quite heavily, but one of the features that have really stood out is some of the policies we've created to alert us of particular situations."

Cons
"It would be beneficial if Azure Cost Management could automatically generate budget rules using AI insights, eliminating the need for manual configuration.""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.""I would like to have added to Azure Cost Management, drill down features from within the cost analysis reporting.""I would like to see some features included for costing and more information about the components of deployment. Sometimes, it's very difficult to match the component with the solution because the descriptions are not very clear.""The UI is complex, and it should be less so.""Improved integration with other solutions could definitely be beneficial.""Optimization and scalability could be increased.""The tool's pricing should be made cheaper."

"CloudHealth needs to start building out Turbonomics-types of features that help the customers who are using CloudHealth really understand everything down to the server level, the virtual machine level.""The performance and accuracy of Cloud Health need to be improved.""It would be helpful to have a mobile version or a tablet version, especially for people who are outside of the office.""The export features regarding CSV files and specifically around identifying savings plans have room for improvement, as well as the drill-down features for reservation utilization.""The Perspectives feature could be better.""If you are working with the OS you need help and other connectors to get more information.""They should provide information or tools to tune the cloud resources according to the environment size.""The solution doesn't offer the best functionality, unfortunately. Some features just simply aren't on offer. The solution needs to offer more product milestones."
