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 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."
"The tool helps with budgeting and reporting. It notifies us whenever we cross the threshold."
"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 cost analysis and exportability are the most valuable features of the solution."
"We use the solution as a cost management tool to control the budget. It is easy to mange costs with the product."
"We use Azure DevOps, and the product helps us understand the cost with the help of the Azure DevOps center."
"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 encompasses a multitude of specialized services, each with its associated costs and considerations."
"It provides us visibility, then we can turn around and can give the leadership team more information, which we could not previously give them."
"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 has already given us insight into how to optimize. So, we are now ramping up steadily its usage."
"The support from IBM is fantastic"
"The tool helps us to resize on AWS correctly."
"The sizing recommendation will look, and say, "You are only using this at 80%," then recommend a better fit for you."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its ability to create reports and dashboards."
"Cloudability takes care of identifying and managing the cloud."
"The product's foecasting needs improvement."
"The affordability of licenses and subscription fees is a critical consideration, as not all companies can easily manage the cost of expensive licenses."
"Be wary of unnecessary costs."
"We lack a resource and ID login."
"The dashboard could be improved."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Cloudability needs to improve on data collection from cloud sources."
"In general, I feel Cloudability wasn't able to support many resources."
"There are also some limitations with the dashboards and data representation in Cloudability."
"I wish there was a feature to temporarily remove certain recommendations from the list for teams that couldn't implement them immediately. I believe Cloudability could improve its automation functionality and enhance cost allocation modeling."
"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."
"The dashboard needs to include more graphs per team to show what individual teams are spending in a given time period."
"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."
"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."
