"Good control features and user interface."
"Cost management is the console's most valuable feature."
"The interface is good, and it's easy to manage."
"The best thing about Azure Cost Management is the cost analysis functionality because it provides regular alerts."

"The most valuable aspect of Azure Cost Management for me is the cost-saving recommendations based on our usage patterns."
"It has already given us insight into how to optimize. So, we are now ramping up steadily its usage."
"Transparency and visibility are the key features."
"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."
"Each user can have their own dashboard that they want to consume. Instead of having to share one dashboard for multiple users, you can create individual views for each user to view, and that view will contain only their own accounts, which allows for separation of data."
"The sizing recommendation will look, and say, "You are only using this at 80%," then recommend a better fit for you."
"The pricing isn't too expensive."
"The support from IBM is fantastic"
"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."
"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 needs an automated dashboard and better reporting."
"The dashboard could be improved."

"They can improve the custom range of the network."
"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."
"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."
"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."
