AWS Cost Management [EOL] Reviews

Normally, my customer has a solution with AWS and GCP, and they have to monitor and optimize their services. They need a cost management tool. With this tool, they can optimize their data services, so they spend less with the cloud data services. With the cost management tool, clients can optimize fine-tuning their consumption, and optimize what they spend for these services.

One area where AWS could improve is in the compatibility with other products like Cloud AD has. AWS has better documentation. Also, the user experience is very good.

I've been familiar with this solution for the last year.

The solution is very stable.

The solution is scalable, and it is usable with web browsing, so it's very simple to use.

The technical support from AWS is perfect.

The solution is very simple to adopt for my customers, because it is very simple. It is very useful and it is not complex to use.

When you consider the pricing of AWS and compare the cost, you have to consider that with this tool, you can optimize your consumption. So, if you consider that minor cost of consumption, you can suggest the price of the cost management tool of the AWS or Cloud AD. During the time of the optimization, you can show the customer that is better to have it.

Normally, I also sell Cloud AD from VMware, and the same solution from Google Cloud, in addition to AWS. I prefer Cloud AD because it's a solution for a multi-cloud purpose, and it is transversal for different cloud solutions, and also for on-premise installation. Also, with Cloud AD, you can have a solution like Software as a Service with a management tool for every hybrid and multi-cloud installation. With Cloud AD, you can optimize and tune your consumption like AWS; but you can also optimize your on-premise installation very well, because it is natively integrated with VMware, and normally the customers have VMware installation on-premise.

My advice is to use a solution like this because, with it, you can optimize during your consumption. You can optimize your solution and better spend your money.

I would rate AWS Cost Management an eight out of ten.

The solution gives access to retail information about the AWS Cost and view stages and their organization of the information is great. The tutorials on the owning of the SaaS approach are very good; they understand the underlying approach, costs, and trends. 

The solution is really organized. It's one thing I really like about it.

The cost of the solution could be improved.

The solution needs to improve the communication mechanism available to the stakeholders. 

They could expand a little in places that check on the cost explorer. Virtualization and other similar features should be more flexible on the dashboard. 

The dashboard could use improvement. It would be better if there was color coding that you can adjust, for example.

I've been using the solution for two years.

The stability of the solution is good. I've never had issues with it.

The scalability of the solution depends on the load. It allows for horizontal and vertical scaling. All non-partial requirements are pretty broad for the solution. Right now, eight people are on it. They're all directors.

Technical support for AWS is perfect.

The initial setup was straightforward. It's not complex at all.

We largely work with the cloud deployment model.

I'd recommend the solution and I'd encourage others to go for it. You don't need to do planning. They're very helpful.

I'd rate the solution nine out of ten.
