Cons
"The solution needs to improve the communication mechanism available to the stakeholders.""The solution needs to have its own dashboard for seeing details on it.

I should just be able to click and see everything I need in one step.""There could be an option to build custom dashboards for the platform.""AWS Cost Management has fewer features compared to Azure Cost Management.""This program is not very scalable.""AWS could improve the compatibility with other products.""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."
