"Cost management is the console's most valuable feature."
"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 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."
"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 cost analysis and exportability are the most valuable features of the solution."
"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."

"We need finer-grained control over the roles and policies for users, specifying their permissions as to what they can look at."
"I would like to see the forecasting models improved with AWS Cost Management."
"AWS could improve the compatibility with other products."
"The solution needs to improve the communication mechanism available to the stakeholders."
"There could be an option to build custom dashboards for the platform."
"The solution needs to have its own dashboard for seeing details on it. It should be customizable as well so I have the ability to pull up the information I need to see and have it in one place for my reference. I should just be able to click and see everything I need in one step."
"I would like to see AWS Cost Management be more precise in their calculations."
"There are significant issues with Power BI integration at the moment, particularly with built-in applications for course management. Multiple features don't allow for efficient report generation. This is one primary concern. The second issue relates to reporting, even when using Power BI templates for course management. There are problems with data import that require manual entry. So, these are the two main challenges I'm currently facing. Another matter to consider is the removal of the markup option for partners. I'm not sure if it will be added back, but it used to allow marking up Azure usage for enterprise customers. I'm uncertain if there's an alternative way to achieve the same function. Partners need to mark up services when selling to customers, and it's currently unavailable for some products or services."
"It would be nice if they could introduce connections to other clouds. It would be good to connect to AWS and Oracle cloud."
"I would like to have added to Azure Cost Management, drill down features from within the cost analysis reporting."
"The response time of customer support can be improved."
"The UI is complex, and it should be less so."
"I would like to see better customization."
"The forecasting model can improve Azure Cost Management."
"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."
