Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""Our customers use it and like it.""Azure Cost Management is user-friendly compared to other competitors.""I like the granularity of the tools.""The advisor recommendations feature is the most valuable feature. It helps set your environment in a clean state.""It is a fully scalable product with the potential to enhance our application and increase our servers. All cloud-based solutions are fully scalable.""We find the analytics available via this solution to be very useful, as it allows us to easily see detailed cost information for each of our various subscription elements.""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."

"The most valuable thing I have found is the cost saving recommendations""We use dashboards quite heavily, but one of the features that have really stood out is some of the policies we've created to alert us of particular situations.""The pricing is rather competitive right now.""The solution is useful for cloud transparency and visibility in reports and dashboards that I have generated, especially the pre-populated dashboards.""It's stable. For report presentation, it's been fast.""This solution is fast and very easy to understand, even if you are not a technician.""The solution is good for cloud cost management.""The product is easy to use in terms of monitoring all the environments. It works for multiple clouds."

Cons
"I haven't detected anything that needs improvement, but any solution could be improved.""The initial setup is a little bit complex.""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.""It would be nice if they could introduce connections to other clouds. It would be good to connect to AWS and Oracle cloud.""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.""We lack a resource and ID login.""The solution needs an automated dashboard and better reporting.""Improved integration with other solutions could definitely be beneficial."

"The Perspectives feature could be better.""I would like to see better integration from CloudHealth to create easier setup and implementation.""If you are working with the OS you need help and other connectors to get more information.""The performance and accuracy of Cloud Health need to be improved.""The solution doesn't offer the best functionality, unfortunately. Some features just simply aren't on offer. The solution needs to offer more product milestones.""It would be helpful to have a mobile version or a tablet version, especially for people who are outside of the office.""They should provide information or tools to tune the cloud resources according to the environment size.""The export features regarding CSV files and specifically around identifying savings plans have room for improvement, as well as the drill-down features for reservation utilization."
