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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is a fully scalable product with the potential to enhance our application and increase our servers. All cloud-based solutions are fully scalable."
"It is easy to log in, and everything is graphical so that you can build on the published resources."
"The most valuable feature of Azure Cost Management is cost optimization."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of Azure Cost Management is its way of segregating accounts based on resources."
"The cost analysis and exportability are the most valuable features of the solution."

"We use Google Cloud Billing to pay for or renew the license of our Google Workspace products."
"It is a stable product."

"What I like most about this solution is that it's easy."
 

Cons

"Azure Cost Management needs to improve scalability."
"The response time of customer support can 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."
"We need more automation. Otherwise, our clients can't do what they need to do, and, in that sense, the solution doesn't really work for our purposes."
"Be wary of unnecessary costs."
"We have encountered delays in support."
"The dashboard could be improved."
"The maintenance of the product by Azure's support team is an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"Google Cloud Billing should have a more user-friendly interface."
"The billing process is strange. It should be automatic."
"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."
"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."
