Continuous monitoring and predictive analytics help provide insights into utilization
Continuous monitoring helps me detect anomalies in the pipeline, preplan resource scalability, and assist with cost management by offering good visibility into resource utilization. It also offers predictive analytics and some existing features, including dashboards. The AI prediction feature helps forecast based on current utilization trends and suggests improvements like the GenAI feature for interactive inquiries.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"We use the solution as a cost management tool to control the budget. It is easy to mange costs with the product."
"Cost management is the console's most valuable feature."
"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."
"Microsoft's technical support is good."
"The tool helps with budgeting and reporting. It notifies us whenever we cross the threshold."
"Microsoft Azure Cloud Cost Management is easy to use and we have a lot of insights about all of our goals."
"The product has helped save costs for the company."
"The best thing about Azure Cost Management is the cost analysis functionality because it provides regular alerts."
"We use Google Cloud Billing to pay for or renew the license of our Google Workspace products."
"It is a stable product."
"We are using Google Cloud instances and Google Cloud Functions, which are great, and we've been using BigQuery, Pub/Sub, and Firebase, making it very helpful for cost management."
"What I like most about this solution is that it's easy."
 

Cons

"I would like the developers to add more features about migration, like how much it would cost to migrate from, let's say, AWS to Azure."
"I haven't detected anything that needs improvement, but any solution 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."
"Azure Cost Management is a little complicated, and the learning curve is somewhat steep."
"I have experienced scalability issues."
"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."
"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."
"At times you will find that the computer engines are freezing or it's about to freeze without any notification or information and it's unable to diagnose where it is hung."
"The billing process is strange. It should be automatic."
"Google Cloud Billing should have a more user-friendly interface."
"When I want to analyze the information, it would be better, since Google knows what I have used, to only show those items for analysis purposes."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"You are charged based on how much you use the solution."
"Customers do not need to pay for the product's license, and the product is free of cost."
"I give the solution's overall cost an eight out of ten."
"I rate the tool's pricing a six out of ten - the price could be lower."
"I think the solution was free initially."
"The tool's licensing costs are monthly."
"Pricing isn't applicable as it's included with the subscription. It depends on the services used. If you acquire any services on Azure, you pay for the subscription, and the billing or cost management is included for free."
"Azure Cost Management comes as a part of other solutions. You need to pay as per your requirement based on the pay-as-you-go model."
"The licensing fees are monthly and cost approximately $100.00."
