Find out what your peers are saying about IBM, Microsoft, VMware and others in Cloud Cost Management."Cost management is the console's most valuable feature."
"The tool helps with budgeting and reporting. It notifies us whenever we cross the threshold."
"The advisor recommendations feature is the most valuable feature. It helps set your environment in a clean state."
"Azure Cost Management is user-friendly compared to other competitors."
"What I like the most about Azure Cost Management is that it's similar to a native service, and it has very well-defined product features, particularly if a customer is moving to Azure, then it gives proper insight in terms of compatibility and what benefits a customer can get from the solution."
"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."
"Microsoft's technical support is good."
"The most valuable feature is that it helps us to better forecast and reduce costs."
"During my testing, the features that I like the most are that it can be integrated with my system, and it provides me with reports of all of my servers."
"The solution is quite mature and very stable."
"It's a flexible solution."
"The implementation process is very straightforward."
"Zabbix is good for discovery."
"Setup was straightforward. Initial deployment took two or three months."
"We detect problems before the customer does and before it actually happens using the predictive functions in Zabbix."
"It has an intuitive UI with beautiful graphs and customizable maps."
"We lack a resource and ID login."
"The dashboard could be improved."
"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."
"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."
"All the offers should be on the console. You shouldn't need to select from different tabs."
"The forecasting model can improve Azure Cost Management."
"Azure Cost Management should be made cheaper."
"The product could be more secure and more stable."
"There is a bit of a learning curve during installation."
"The user interface could be a bit better. They could update it a bit."
"There's a small module of APM, however, it is not an enhanced version. People usually ask for a full-fledged APM solution."
"The server monitoring could be better."
"There are not too much documentation or manuals. We found the tutorials very easy to understand but do not go deep enough in the use of Zabbix. We need more manuals, proper use, documentation, etc."
"Zabbix is powerful, but it is difficult to understand initially. There are many things that can be improved, but we might not be using Zabbix to its fullest extent. The software has more features than we need."
"I had problems using Zabbix when working with SUSE Enterprise; many companies use SUSE."
