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.
