Find out what your peers are saying about IBM, Microsoft, VMware and others in Cloud Cost Management."The initial setup wasn't complex at all."
"The initial setup was straightforward. It's not complex at all."
"The tool's cost management feature provides a comprehensive view of AWS costs, allowing us to plan and make cost-effective decisions. With AWS Cost Explorer, we can perform cost planning, generate recommendations, and provide clients with suggestions for resizing. This feature includes data filtering and protection, offering users insights into spending patterns through AWS spending patterns and planning tools. The product is easy to learn."
"All of the reporting features are very good, as they allow us to track monthly expenses and send relevant emails."
"The stability and scalability are good."
"The budgeting tool of AWS Cost Management is the most valuable feature."
"The product provides the ability to set cost limits and budgets for a set of resources on the network."
"I like the recommendation we get from AWS Cost Management to use a particular image or VM type."
"The most crucial feature in reducing my cloud costs has been the rightsizing recommendations, along with the dashboards that track reserved instance spending coverage and utilization. As for Cloudability's integration with our existing cloud infrastructure, it's not integrated directly into our AWS infrastructure but rather reads and pulls data from it, providing valuable insights and analysis for cost management."
"The support from IBM is fantastic"
"The pricing isn't too expensive."
"The tool helps us to resize on AWS correctly."
"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 sizing recommendation will look, and say, "You are only using this at 80%," then recommend a better fit for you."
"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."
"It provides us visibility, then we can turn around and can give the leadership team more information, which we could not previously give them."
"This program is not very scalable."
"There could be an option to build custom dashboards for the platform."
"The solution needs to have its own dashboard for seeing details on it. It should be customizable as well so I have the ability to pull up the information I need to see and have it in one place for my reference. I should just be able to click and see everything I need in one step."
"AWS Cost Management has fewer features compared to Azure Cost Management."
"The solution needs to improve the communication mechanism available to the stakeholders."
"I would like to see the forecasting models improved with AWS Cost Management."
"Data transfer between S3 buckets within AWS incurs costs, especially when moving data from one bucket to another or downloading data."
"We need finer-grained control over the roles and policies for users, specifying their permissions as to what they can look at."
"They can improve the custom range of the network."
"The dashboard needs to include more graphs per team to show what individual teams are spending in a given time period."
"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."
"Right now, what we're doing is we are manually putting the data in it, which is something which we don't like about Cloudability."
"Cloudability needs to improve on data collection from cloud sources."
"In general, I feel Cloudability wasn't able to support many resources."
"I would like the API functionality to improve. The update time after uploading data could also be improved."
"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."
