Cost Management is used to control your bills by setting limits. Sometimes, there are some offers from Microsoft for better pricing when we utilize the solution on log files, such as if we are making some reservation to reserve resources for a long time.

We use it to manage our costs, setting triggers in case our costs go over budget based on our usage. So, it's primarily for our Azure usage and not for any other external costs.

It's not something we use every day. The features are somewhat limited. I mainly use it to check the overall cost of the services we use.

I mainly use it for insights. It's about managing the cost of our resources and how to optimize where we can downsize or right-size resources.

It's mostly about analytics, and this is the first use case. Technically, there are multiple projects, like data integration, data cleansing, and maintaining data quality. There are a few of the underlying use cases. But the topmost or very first use case is analytics.

We have a dedicated cost management team to optimize costs.

Basically, they provide licenses to customers who already have an Azure subscription. They send these licenses to customers based on their needs, either extracting them from the partner center or group management or then delivering them, often through email. Additionally, for the Dental Connection system, APIs support the automated delivery of licenses to customers. On another note, when addressing billing concerns, there are instances where customers claim they've been overcharged by varying amounts, such as a hundred, five hundred, or even a thousand dollars. In such cases, they examine cost management to investigate these charges.

Regarding Azure Cost Management, I think it's easier for the clients we're using it for, along with which the deployment part of the solution is also easy. Basically, we store our application in Azure. So, it is being used by our clients for storing their applications. Also, they have one database called Teamcenter data. So, such things are being stored in Azure.

AS
Technical Lead at a computer software company with 10,001+ employees

We use this solution to help with setting up our yearly budget. We look at how much we are currently using on a monthly basis how and close we are to meeting the monthly budget. If we find that we are going over then it helps to adjust the yearly budget.

We also look at what resources have been used more extensively in the current month as opposed to last. The dashboard allows us to make these comparisons. From here, we can optimize resources and reduce costs. In the end, we also develop new resources.

Ideally, we can look ahead to see what we can expect by making changes to certain resources. This is done by looking back at previous months and seeing what the effects were for other changes.

Our second use case has to do with projecting profitability by looking at trends. We are looking at one-year relationships to search for tending patterns.
