"It is easy to log in, and everything is graphical so that you can build on the published resources."
"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."
"The most valuable features of Azure Cost Management are the ability to set standards or tagging policies and initiatives. You can achieve higher cost optimization."
"The features that I have found most valuable, are the trend analysis and the budgetary trigger."
"Our customers use it and like it."

"What I like most about this solution is that it's easy."

"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 tool's pricing should be made cheaper."
"I haven't detected anything that needs improvement, but any solution could be improved."
"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."
"All the offers should be on the console. You shouldn't need to select from different tabs."
"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."
"It would be nice if they could introduce connections to other clouds. It would be good to connect to AWS and Oracle cloud."
"The response time of customer support can be improved."
"When I want to analyze the information, it would be better, since Google knows what I have used, to only show those items for analysis purposes."
"At times you will find that the computer engines are freezing or it's about to freeze without any notification or information and it's unable to diagnose where it is hung."
"Google Cloud Billing should have a more user-friendly interface."
