We performed a comparison between Azure Cost Management and Cloudability based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Cloud Cost Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable features of Azure Cost Management are the ability to set standards or tagging policies and initiatives. You can achieve higher cost optimization."
"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."
"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."
"It has predictive analysis. It can forecast based on the costs associated with the particular architecture and how often they use it, estimating how much they'll spend."
"It is easy to log in, and everything is graphical so that you can build on the published resources."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"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 most valuable feature of Azure Cost Management is its way of segregating accounts based on resources."
"Transparency and visibility are the key features."
"It provides us visibility, then we can turn around and can give the leadership team more information, which we could not previously give them."
"The tool helps us to resize on AWS correctly."
"We use the product to get a detailed level of transparency on the cloud strengths."
"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 most valuable feature of the solution is its ability to create reports and dashboards."
"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."
"The response time of customer support can be improved."
"We lack a resource and ID login."
"The technical support could be improved."
"The dashboard could be improved."
"Optimization and scalability could be increased."
"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."
"The solution could improve its APIs to access the customer application."
"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."
"There is always room for improvement in education and training. We are not that mature in terms of our automation. It could help us identify where we could optimize in terms of build."
"I would like the API functionality to improve. The update time after uploading data could also be improved."
"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."
"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."
"Cloudability needs to focus on more cloud providers."
"The dashboard needs to include more graphs per team to show what individual teams are spending in a given time period."
"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."
"We have dealt with a few technical support people where we ask for one thing and they might not deliver straightaway. It seems like they are a stretched across multiple customers."
