Pros
"The initial setup is very easy.""The most valuable feature of AWS Savings Plans is we can discuss budgets briefly during our confirmation process since we are aware of our usual consumption patterns. Creating budgets in this regard would be beneficial, as it would allow us to consume only what we need, without including reserve instances that do not serve our purpose."

More AWS Savings Plans Cons →

"Cost Management could always provide more details. The more information, the better. They just need to build on what they have now.""It would be nice if they could introduce connections to other clouds. It would be good to connect to AWS and Oracle cloud.""It would be beneficial if Azure Cost Management could automatically generate budget rules using AI insights, eliminating the need for manual configuration.""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.""The solution could improve its APIs to access the customer application.""The technical support could be improved.""The response time of customer support can be improved.""Be wary of unnecessary costs."
