We performed a comparison between Azure Cost Management and Cloudability based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Cloud Cost Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The tool is very stable."
"It encompasses a multitude of specialized services, each with its associated costs and considerations."
"Our customers use it and like it."
"During the two years I've been working with this solution, it has only been down once or twice. Thus, I would rate the stability of the solution at nine out of ten."
"I like the fact that you can set alerts on the predicted cost in Azure Cost Management."
"The most valuable feature of Azure Cost Management is its way of segregating accounts based on resources."
"We use Azure DevOps, and the product helps us understand the cost with the help of the Azure DevOps center."
"Cost management is the console's most valuable feature."
"The support from IBM is fantastic"
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its ability to create reports and dashboards."
"One of the standout features of the solution is its groups and views functionality. The solution is highly-stable. The solution is highly-scalable. The customer support is good. They can be easily contacted. The initial setup is straightforward. It's an excellent tool, especially when dealing with multiple clouds. It streamlines the process, eliminating the need to check each cloud individually."
"Transparency and visibility are the key features."
"Each user can have their own dashboard that they want to consume. Instead of having to share one dashboard for multiple users, you can create individual views for each user to view, and that view will contain only their own accounts, which allows for separation of data."
"The tool helps us to resize on AWS correctly."
"The pricing isn't too expensive."
"The most crucial feature in reducing my cloud costs has been the rightsizing recommendations, along with the dashboards that track reserved instance spending coverage and utilization. As for Cloudability's integration with our existing cloud infrastructure, it's not integrated directly into our AWS infrastructure but rather reads and pulls data from it, providing valuable insights and analysis for cost management."
"Azure Cost Management needs to improve scalability."
"It would be nice if they could introduce connections to other clouds. It would be good to connect to AWS and Oracle cloud."
"We would like to see more flexibility added to this solution, such as being able to compare reservations, or compare costs across multiple financial years and report on the reasons for deviation in spend."
"The product's licensing cost could be improved."
"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."
"If it worked better with other cloud providers it would be better."
"I haven't detected anything that needs improvement, but any solution could be improved."
"Improved integration with other solutions could definitely be beneficial."
"Right now, what we're doing is we are manually putting the data in it, which is something which we don't like about Cloudability."
"We would like them to have a linear regression, so we can be predictive for budgets, allocations, and the year's follow ups. We also want to have a longer window of analytics with better certainty that our workload will fit the model, not just in a two week window."
"The API is not well-documented. It is not straightforward and difficult to use. This needs to be improved, as it is very difficult for our developers to develop automation around it."
"We have dealt with a few technical support people where we ask for one thing and they might not deliver straightaway. It seems like they are a stretched across multiple customers."
"I wish there was a feature to temporarily remove certain recommendations from the list for teams that couldn't implement them immediately. I believe Cloudability could improve its automation functionality and enhance cost allocation modeling."
"The dashboard needs to include more graphs per team to show what individual teams are spending in a given time period."
"I would like the API functionality to improve. The update time after uploading data could also be improved."
"There is always room for improvement in education and training. We are not that mature in terms of our automation. It could help us identify where we could optimize in terms of build."
