"The cost analysis and exportability are the most valuable features of the solution."
"It encompasses a multitude of specialized services, each with its associated costs and considerations."
"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."
"Billing management is self-explanatory. There isn't a specific feature that stands out, but it's a fundamental aspect that needs to be present."
"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."

"We use the product to get a detailed level of transparency on the cloud strengths."
"The pricing isn't too expensive."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its ability to create reports and dashboards."
"The support from IBM is fantastic"
"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."
"One of the standout features of the solution is its groups and views functionality. The solution is highly-stable. The solution is highly-scalable. The customer support is good. They can be easily contacted. The initial setup is straightforward. It's an excellent tool, especially when dealing with multiple clouds. It streamlines the process, eliminating the need to check each cloud individually."

"The response time of customer support can be improved."
"The dashboard could be improved."
"The product's foecasting needs improvement."

"Optimization and scalability could be increased."
"The dashboard needs to include more graphs per team to show what individual teams are spending in a given time period."
"Cloudability needs to improve on data collection from cloud sources."
"They can improve the custom range of the network."
"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 are also some limitations with the dashboards and data representation in Cloudability."
"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."
"I would like the API functionality to improve. The update time after uploading data could also be improved."
"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."
