We performed a comparison between AWS Savings Plans and Azure Cost Management 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 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."
"It has predictive analysis. It can forecast based on the costs associated with the particular architecture and how often they use it, estimating how much they'll spend."
"The resource forecasting feature is invaluable. Secondly, the ability to drill down to the regional and resource level is incredibly helpful for pinpointing where my costs are accruing."
"My organization benefits from the tool's performance and time-saving features."
"The most valuable features of Azure Cost Management are the ability to set standards or tagging policies and initiatives. You can achieve higher cost optimization."
"The initial setup process is easy."
"The solution helps us diagnose and understand why some resources cost more so that we can fine-tune and reduce the cost."
"The advisor recommendations feature is the most valuable feature. It helps set your environment in a clean state."
"The most valuable feature of Azure Cost Management is cost optimization."
"The visibility of AWS Savings Plans could improve."
"In the future, it would be interesting if there could be a combination of Savings Plans and some Reserved Servers."
"We have encountered delays in support."
"The technical support could be improved."
"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."
"We lack a resource and ID login."
"Improved integration with other solutions could definitely be beneficial."
"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."
"I would like to have added to Azure Cost Management, drill down features from within the cost analysis reporting."
"The solution needs an automated dashboard and better reporting."
