The pricing is good.

I use the solution once a week. Overall, I rate the product a ten out of ten.

We use the solution to understand the resource response and cost per customer for multiple projects in our organization.

The most valuable feature of Azure Cost Management is its way of segregating accounts based on resources.

The solution needs an automated dashboard and better reporting.

I have been using Azure Cost Management for the last three years.

I rate Azure Cost Management a ten out of ten for stability.

I don't see any need for scalability for this solution. We have 350 plus customers using the solution.

The technical support for Azure Cost Management is far better. Whatever we need is available on the portal, and if there is any discrepancy, we raise it to the support team.

You don't have to do any setup, it's all populated from what you have in your environment.

Customers do not need to pay for the product's license, and the product is free of cost.

The solution's user interface is good. We also get the projection for the current month. I am a technical consultant and rarely work on cost management. Microsoft manages the solution, and you don’t need any skill sets to use it.

Overall, I rate Azure Cost Management a ten out of ten.

We use the public, private, and hybrid deployment models of this solution. Our primary use cases of this solution are for cost management, performance, cost analysts, cost alerts, and budget recommendations.

The advisor recommendations feature is the most valuable feature. It helps set your environment in a clean state.

Self-healing could be a nice addition to this solution. It would be nice if they had self-healing. 

It would be good if they could introduce connections to other clouds. It would be good to connect to AWS and Oracle cloud.

It's rock-solid, it's absolutely stable. 

This solution can manage your whole infrastructure across the hybrid and private clouds. It scales really well. We are a distributor of this solution. We have around 3,000 customers. 

We do have plans to increase usage. 

It's a free product. It doesn't need much support, there is a lot of documentation.

The setup is straightforward. As soon as you deploy something in Azure, Cost Management is also automatically deployed. It's there by default. 

It's free out of the box. 

The biggest lesson I have learned from this solution is that free tools are a must. They're great. 

I would rate it a ten out of ten. 

We use Azure Cost Management for billing and cost estimation purposes.

I like that it's a free solution that we can use to check our overall cost and utilization.

The UI is complex, and it should be less so.

I've been using this solution for two years.

During the two years I've been working with this solution, it has only been down once or twice. Thus, I would rate the stability of the solution at nine out of ten.

For Azure Cost Management's scalability, I would give a rating of eight out of ten. We have five release managers who use the solution in our organization.

Technical support staff are well trained and excellent. As such, I would rate technical support at nine out of ten.

Positive

The installation process is straightforward for Azure Cost Management. It takes a couple of minutes to implement it.

The maintenance can be handled by one person.

I would recommend Azure Cost Management and rate it at ten out of ten.

I use Azure Cost Management to track the costing that is incurred by my resources and the servers that are running. There are different generations of servers that I use. For every service or server that is running, Azure provides costing. Support management and cost analysis provide a drill down view of all the services that I am using and the cost associated with it.

A few hundred people use this solution in our business. 

The best thing about Azure Cost Management is the cost analysis functionality because it provides regular alerts. Even when I am not monitoring cost, someone in my team can be set up to receive notifications in real time. This helps us ensure we are not over budget at the end of the month.

It can be difficult to determine the cost associated with certain resources as it relies on a tagging progress. This means we need to drill down billing reports to highlight and fix missing tags. 

I have been using this solution for a couple of years. 

The initial setup is straightforward. The time of deployment depends on the resources you use and time you select with Azure. 

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten due to the challenge with pricing and missing tags. 

We are satisfied with the product, and it is working for us with respect to the VM.

We lack a resource and ID login, and it would be good if they added it.

We have been using this solution for less than a year. We use the solution from the Cost Manager portal only.

The product is stable.

The product is scalable. One other person in the organization and I use this solution.

Technical support is not required. It is easy to log in, and everything is graphical so that you can build on the published resources.

You do not need to deploy the solution. You only need access to Cost Management.

There is no licensing cost. Azure Cost Management only comes with the Azure portal, and there is no cost. When you integrate other cloud services with the portal, there is no cost.

I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

We use Azure Cost Management to see how much we are spending as well as how much the client is spending. That is the only use case for Azure Cost Management.

The features that I have found most valuable, are the trend analysis and the budgetary trigger. It is very good and it gives good data. It does what it is supposed to do.

I would like to have more granularity of the different services that we have. 

I have been working on Azure Cost Management for six years now.

Azure Cost Management works seamlessly. No bugs, glitches or regressions at all.

When it comes to scalability, you can only look at the costs that you are incurring for your Azure subscription. And there is no need to scale, if you ask me. It just gives you the cost rate.

I know this program very well, so we don't have to reach out to Microsoft. But when we do run into an issue that we cannot resolve, we reach out to them or email them or create a support ticket. They usually respond within a day, so we haven't faced any challenges with the technical support.

The initial setup is really straightforward and it works right out of the box. There is no complexity to it.

I think the solution was free initially. I don't know if they have changed that yet. Since we are partners of Microsoft, we have a different kind of agreement with them.

My advice to others would be that they should use it. They should try it out - it's a very good solution, and it gives a very detailed analysis as your subscription costs.

I would like the developers to add more features about migration, like how much it would cost to migrate from, let's say, AWS to Azure. That would be great.

On a scale from 1 to 10, where 1 is the worst and 10 is the best, I rate Azure Cost a good 9.
