Simple to set up with helpful for cost management and good reliability
The only issue I faced was a while ago. My card was debited, or rather it was showing as debited when in actuality, it did not debit my card. After six months, they came back with back billing. Somebody should have verified the billing and immediately informed us. So yeah, However, six months is too late to identify such fault sightings. 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. Especially when I look at a previous month's billing or usage across services. It's better to show the services which are used, not everything.

Cost visibility has improved and ongoing usage reveals several areas that still need refinement
One thing about Vantage Cloud Cost Platform is that some of the data they need to report includes custom routes. Vantage Cloud Cost Platform should also provide integration for monitoring the data. A more generic API would be needed and lower cost with Vantage Cloud Cost Platform, as right now it is costing me a few dollars a day without any usage. If the hit to the APIs can be reduced and you get a small amount, that should be sufficient. There are many improvements that need to be made, and that is why I gave a rating of six and not ten, as it is a long path for the business. Currently, it is on the POC part with Vantage Cloud Cost Platform. In terms of money, it offers consolidated billing and ensures that what we are exactly spending is included, so it helps to save money. However, since I have not been able to use it for long, I cannot share the exact number or percentage. I am using Vantage Cloud Cost Platform as it offers free integration till 100K users. Right now, except for the cost, they are billing in other services.
