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."The best thing about Azure Cost Management is the cost analysis functionality because it provides regular alerts."
"Gives visibility into the cost of cloud-based solutions."
"The most valuable feature of Azure Cost Management is cost optimization."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The advisor recommendations feature is the most valuable feature. It helps set your environment in a clean state."
"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 tool helps with budgeting and reporting. It notifies us whenever we cross the threshold."
"The cost analysis and exportability are the most valuable features of the solution."
"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 pricing isn't too expensive."
"It provides us visibility, then we can turn around and can give the leadership team more information, which we could not previously give them."
"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 tool helps us to resize on AWS correctly."
"We use the product to get a detailed level of transparency on the cloud strengths."
"Transparency and visibility are the key features."
"Cloudability takes care of identifying and managing the cloud."
"The technical support could be improved."
"Azure Cost Management is expensive."
"The product's foecasting needs improvement."
"The solution could use automatic emailing. That would help improve the product a lot, at least for our purposes."
"The policy-based remediation is probably the biggest area where Azure is lacking and that's why we sell a lot of our technology to our customers."
"The response time of customer support can be improved."
"The solution could improve its APIs to access the customer application."
"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."
"I wish there was a feature to temporarily remove certain recommendations from the list for teams that couldn't implement them immediately. I believe Cloudability could improve its automation functionality and enhance cost allocation modeling."
"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."
"We would like them to have a linear regression, so we can be predictive for budgets, allocations, and the year's follow ups. We also want to have a longer window of analytics with better certainty that our workload will fit the model, not just in a two week window."
"I would like the API functionality to improve. The update time after uploading data could also be improved."
"They can improve the custom range of the network."
"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."
"Cloudability needs to improve on data collection from cloud sources."
