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."I like the fact that you can set alerts on the predicted cost in Azure Cost Management."
"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."
"Cost management is the console's most valuable feature."
"The interface is good, and it's easy to manage."
"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 tool is very stable."
"Gives visibility into the cost of cloud-based solutions."
"We don't actually use the Azure Cost Management features. We have our own capabilities. We put our own technology on top of Azure as Azure doesn't deliver a really good cost optimization, so our customers come to us to enhance what they're potentially doing inside their Azure platform."
"The pricing isn't too expensive."
"We use the product to get a detailed level of transparency on the cloud strengths."
"The tool helps us to resize on AWS correctly."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its ability to create reports and dashboards."
"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 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."
"It has already given us insight into how to optimize. So, we are now ramping up steadily its usage."
"The support from IBM is fantastic"
"Be wary of unnecessary costs."
"I haven't detected anything that needs improvement, but any solution could be improved."
"I would like to see better customization."
"The initial setup is a little bit complex."
"The dashboard could be improved."
"Optimization and scalability could be increased."
"The response time of customer support can be improved."
"The forecasting model can improve Azure Cost Management."
"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."
"Cloudability needs to focus on more cloud providers."
"I would like the API functionality to improve. The update time after uploading data could also be improved."
"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."
"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."
"Cloudability needs to improve on data collection from cloud sources."
"They can improve the custom range of the network."
"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."
