Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable feature is that our customers can see their consumption in real time. Even though we have a couple of analytics provided by our company, those are not in real time.""The initial setup is straightforward.""We use Azure DevOps, and the product helps us understand the cost with the help of the Azure DevOps center.""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.""The cost analysis and exportability are the most valuable features of the solution.""The tool helps with budgeting and reporting. It notifies us whenever we cross the threshold.""My organization benefits from the tool's performance and time-saving features."

Cons
"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 initial setup is a little bit complex.""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.""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.""Stability is an area in the solution that lacks in certain areas. So, it needs to be improved.""The forecasting model can improve Azure Cost Management.""Optimization and scalability could be increased."
