Find out what your peers are saying about IBM, Microsoft, VMware and others in Cloud Cost Management."The most valuable aspect of the solution is the fact that it's extremely customizable. It makes it very flexible in terms of usage."
"The advisor recommendations feature is the most valuable feature. It helps set your environment in a clean state."
"The solution helps us diagnose and understand why some resources cost more so that we can fine-tune and reduce the cost."
"The most valuable feature of Azure Cost Management is its way of segregating accounts based on resources."
"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."
"We use Azure DevOps, and the product helps us understand the cost with the help of the Azure DevOps center."
"Azure Cost Management is user-friendly compared to other competitors."
"The features I find most valuable is the querying and alerting capabilities."
"This solution allows me to have true visibility for any metrics when it comes to my cloud, and private."
"For us, the ease of deployment in combination with TMZ was the most important part because we don't have to manually deploy a complex monitoring solution. We can more or less do that with the click of a button, and we are not dependent on the developers to provide us with all the necessary features and functions to make that work. We can just deploy it on a workload cluster and monitor at least a good part of the workload. If we want to go into detail, we clearly need to make changes, but for a good part of application monitoring, it gives us good insights."
"The most valuable aspects of the solution are its ease of use and its ease of implementation."
"No issues with stability."
"VMware comes with a support team, and if you have trouble, you can easily create a ticket, and VMware will help you. Therefore, the best aspect is the support."
"Tanzu itself, integrated with multiple solutions, bestows support and security upon a container platform, especially when it comes to managing open-source container platforms such as Kubernetes."
"The solution is great for virtualization and preparing the infrastructure in Tanzu to test products. It's very fast and has good visibility."
"Improved integration with other solutions could definitely be beneficial."
"Azure Cost Management needs to improve scalability."
"The dashboard could be improved."
"We have encountered delays in support."
"The dashboard could be improved."
"The solution's technical support should be faster, more knowledgeable, and customer-friendly."
"The response time of customer support can be improved."
"I would like to see better customization."
"I would like to see integration with Kubernetes cluster and APIs so that you can manage the entire stack."
"The documentation and integration with Kubernetes could be improved."
"The implementation is a long process that should be improved."
"Its billing model is consumption-based. I understand the consumption-based model, but it is not necessarily easy to estimate and guess how many points or how much we are going to consume on a specific application up until we get to that point. So, for us, it would be helpful to have more insights or predictability into what we can expect from a cost perspective if we are starting to use specific features. This can potentially also drive our consumption a bit more."
"In the new version, I would love to see more prediction capabilities. It would be great if one could see the alerts get a little more enriched with information and become more human-friendly instead of the technical stuff that they put in there. I think those would be really awesome outcomes to get."
"They could make it more easy to plug-in data so that a nontechnical person will be able to use it, like accountants or finance people. That way they don't have to ask us."
"The main problem I have is that the license cost is very high."
"The initial setup should be easier and more seamless."
