We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The initial setup is very easy.""The most valuable feature of AWS Savings Plans is we can discuss budgets briefly during our confirmation process since we are aware of our usual consumption patterns. Creating budgets in this regard would be beneficial, as it would allow us to consume only what we need, without including reserve instances that do not serve our purpose."

"We use Azure DevOps, and the product helps us understand the cost with the help of the Azure DevOps center.""The best thing about Azure Cost Management is the cost analysis functionality because it provides regular alerts.""Billing management is self-explanatory. There isn't a specific feature that stands out, but it's a fundamental aspect that needs to be present.""The most valuable feature of Azure Cost Management is its way of segregating accounts based on 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.""Microsoft Azure Cloud Cost Management is easy to use and we have a lot of insights about all of our goals.""The most valuable aspect of Azure Cost Management for me is the cost-saving recommendations based on our usage patterns.""We find the analytics available via this solution to be very useful, as it allows us to easily see detailed cost information for each of our various subscription elements."

More AWS Savings Plans Cons →

"Optimization and scalability could be increased.""The solution needs an automated dashboard and better reporting.""Azure Cost Management should be made cheaper.""I haven't detected anything that needs improvement, but any solution could be improved.""It can be difficult to determine the cost associated with certain resources as it relies on a tagging progress. This means we need to drill down billing reports to highlight and fix missing tags.""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.""It would be beneficial if Azure Cost Management could automatically generate budget rules using AI insights, eliminating the need for manual configuration.""The product's foecasting needs improvement."
