Find out what your peers are saying about IBM, Microsoft, VMware and others in Cloud Cost Management."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."
"It is a fully scalable product with the potential to enhance our application and increase our servers. All cloud-based solutions are fully scalable."
"The solution helps us diagnose and understand why some resources cost more so that we can fine-tune and reduce the cost."
"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."
"The tool is very stable."
"Cost management is the console's most valuable feature."
"It encompasses a multitude of specialized services, each with its associated costs and considerations."
"The most valuable feature of Azure Cost Management is its way of segregating accounts based on resources."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"The solution needs an automated dashboard and better reporting."
"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."
"Stability is an area in the solution that lacks in certain areas. So, it needs to be improved."
"If it worked better with other cloud providers it would be better."
"We would like to see more flexibility added to this solution, such as being able to compare reservations, or compare costs across multiple financial years and report on the reasons for deviation in spend."
"What would make Azure Cost Management better is a more flexible GUI that would allow users to provide more input. Another area for improvement in the solution is its reporting. The report it provides should be easy to understand."
"Azure Cost Management is expensive."
"The solution could use automatic emailing. That would help improve the product a lot, at least for our purposes."
"I'd like to see it coordinated or integrated with more of a data catalog."
