Architect at Nagarro
Has helped define budget limits and monitor cost impact during long-term solution planning
There are areas in Azure Cost Management that could be improved; sometimes, as a start user or junior developer, if I try to understand which service consumed how much cost and look at different charts in the dashboards, it's difficult to understand which chart is representing what. Those interfaces could be made simpler. I'm not much into analytics patterns, so Azure Cost Management's Cost Analytics feature hasn't particularly helped my organization understand spending patterns.
