The most valuable aspect of Azure Cost Management for me is the cost-saving recommendations based on our usage patterns. It is a quick and easy way to optimize spending without diving into the nitty-gritty.

I like the fact that you can set alerts on the predicted cost in Azure Cost Management. Before the cost reaches a limit, you can send out a warning that costs are predicted to exceed a threshold.

There are many features in Azure Cost Management that are most effective in tracking and reducing cloud costs. The resource forecasting feature is invaluable. Secondly, the ability to drill down to the regional and resource level is incredibly helpful for pinpointing where my costs are accruing.

Azure Cost Management helps us understand the current and peak usage of all the resources so that we will know which resources are being consumed more. The solution helps us diagnose and understand why some resources cost more so that we can fine-tune and reduce the cost. We can forecast the usage for the next year, month, or quarter based on current and previous usage.

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.

You can quickly access the platform based on our organization's setup and start monitoring and optimizing costs for every customer since the exchange rate is quite high. It help customers stay within budget and manage their annual budgets. Whatever they decide to spend for that year on a particular service, it ensure it doesn't exceed. It assist in managing costs to maintain their loyalty.

Once a customer reaches a certain threshold, the tool inform them about the costs, letting them know they're about to exceed their threshold and offer options to either reduce consumption.

Azure Cost Management has its conciseness and clear visibility. Having all resource costs in one place makes it incredibly easy to identify the biggest spenders, whether a specific resource or an entire resource group. This centralized view is crucial for understanding my service configurations and making informed decisions about cost optimization, like scaling down or even turning off services.

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.

Azure Cost Management is user-friendly compared to other competitors. We can easily present it to non-technical people. Everyone can visualize the insights through the application. The other cloud mobility applications have more technical functionality. Thus, the terminologies become difficult to understand.

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.

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.

We do AWS and Azure. We do it all automatically to identify cost remediation or optimization targets and then put into automation or policy automation to continue to remediate based on tagging, subscriptions, service type, and a whole bunch of other things.
