Understanding how to fully take advantage of Azure Cost Management saving recommendations is not a simple task. This is because the cloud provider offers its own pricing structure, and there are also other native solutions available. To truly comprehend why some people are unable to realize the cost savings offered by Azure, a business analysis is necessary. Primary research is needed to identify the pain points within the market.

I don't use Cost Management, but I help our customers use it. It does what it says on the tin: it manages costs. We have hundreds of thousands of users. Every customer uses it.

Our customers use it and like it.

Cost Management could always provide more details. The more information, the better. They just need to build on what they have now. 

I have been using Azure Cost Management for five years.

Cost Management is stable.

Cost Management is highly scalable. 

I rate Azure support 10 out of 10. It's great. 

Positive

I previously used CloudCheckr. We switched to Cost Management because it's free. 

Cost Management doesn't require any setup. It's automatically available.

I rate Azure Cost Management 10 out of 10. It's a great tool that comes with your Azure subscription, so why not use it? 

Azure Cost Management is being used for the infrastructure services our customers have in terms of how we can best optimize them and how we can propose the solution to customers, for example, if there are on-premises workloads that can be moved to the cloud, etc.

What I like the most about Azure Cost Management is that it's similar to a native service, and it has very well-defined product features, particularly if a customer is moving to Azure, then it gives proper insight in terms of compatibility and what benefits a customer can get from the solution.

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.

Azure Cost Management is a very stable solution. My company didn't have any problems in terms of stability.

Azure Cost Management is a scalable solution. As it's integrated with all Azure services, it's scalable.

My team never contacted technical support for Azure Cost Management because the solution has very good documentation and guides on the website, so there were never any problems with it.

The initial setup for Azure Cost Management was straightforward. My team implemented it and it was very straightforward. The solution didn't take much time to onboard.

We implemented Azure Cost Management in-house.

At the moment, I don't remember the licensing cost for Azure Cost Management.

My company explored the features of Azure Cost Management, used the solution, and continues to provide consulting to customers. The decision-making of whether to use the solution or not is left to the customers after my company gives options. My company also configures Azure Cost Management and gives guidance to customers.

More than ten to fifteen clients are using the solution.

Azure Cost Management is a solution my company can recommend. Wherever it is required, my company would recommend it.

My rating for Azure Cost Management is eight out of ten.

We provide this solution for all of our customers. We have been providing it since it was released. We are using it to assist our customers.

The amount of customers we have reached has increased.

The most valuable feature is that our customers can see their consumption in real time. Even though we have a couple of analytics provided by our company, those are not in real time.

I haven't detected anything that needs improvement, but any solution could be improved. 

It's stable.

It's scalable.

We used a different solution, but we switched because the one provided by Microsoft is free.

It was straightforward. It's embedded on the Azure Portal, so there's no installation time. There's nothing to be installed.

Since we are a DC, we only provide this solution to customers. They pay our fees, so there's not too much invested in this.

The solution is free. It's part of having an Azure subscription.

I would rate this solution 10 out of 10.

We use the product to analyze the cost utilization for multiple clients who have deployed resources in Microsoft Azure. By monitoring their usage patterns, we suggest exploring cost-saving options, such as leveraging reservations or identifying opportunities for cost benefit.

Azure Cost Management is user-friendly compared to other competitors. We can easily present it to non-technical people. Everyone can visualize the insights through the application. The other cloud mobility applications have more technical functionality. Thus, the terminologies become difficult to understand.

The product's foecasting needs improvement. The current approach, which uses the maximum incurred cost to forecast for an extended period, leads to freezing budgets unnecessarily. They could enhance the forecasting model by exploring alternative algorithms such as time series or other models. Additionally, they could expand the recommendation timeframe to allow for one-year plans, acknowledging that not all organizations may have a three-year workload plan.

We have been using Azure Cost Management for two and a half years.

We encounter occasional glitches or bugs in the solution, particularly in cloud dashboards and usage tracking. The technical support team resolves the issue within 24 hours.

I rate the stability an eight or nine out of ten.

We work with enterprise companies as our clients for Azure Cost Management. It is a scalable platform.

The support team is helpful. However, we have to wait for a callback nearly a week after raising the ticket. It can be challenging, especially when working within an agile methodology with fixed timelines. They could reflect and respond, ideally within a day or two, to better align with our project timelines.

Neutral

The initial setup process is user-friendly.

We are using a solution accelerator that operates with Azure. It helps us manage policies and other functionalities. I advise others to be aware of the opportunities where the deployment cost can be reduced. 

I rate Azure Cost Management an eight out of ten.

Regarding Azure Cost Management, I think it's easier for the clients we're using it for, along with which the deployment part of the solution is also easy. Basically, we store our application in Azure. So, it is being used by our clients for storing their applications. Also, they have one database called Teamcenter data. So, such things are being stored in Azure.

Regarding Azure Cost Management, it is an easy solution to use since it is a cloud-based tool. Everything related to the solution comes in handy. So, no network or server team is required to configure the solution.

Stability is an area in the solution that lacks in certain areas. So, it needs to be improved.

Currently, I'm working on Azure Cost Management. As per the new requirements that are coming in for Azure, I am also taking part in involving myself in Azure. Also, I am using the solution's latest version.

I cannot give you an assured rating, but its stability can be rated around nine on a scale of one to ten.

It is a fully scalable product with the potential to enhance our application and increase our servers. All cloud-based solutions are fully scalable.

There is a lesser requirement for the solution. That's why we have not gone through measuring the number of clients we have since they have AWS as their cloud solution. Our clients are not very aware of Azure. So, that's an issue. In the future, the number of users will increase. Right now, I cannot give an accurate number of users using it.

I have only contacted the support for AWS and not for Azure.

I have only used Amazon AWS and Microsoft Azure.

The solution's initial setup process was straightforward. The deployment was done in two to three months.

The deployment process is quite simple. In our settings, there is a cloud and visualization part. In that case, we need to select Azure, and our Azure test would monitor Azure. Then, we need to connect a new instance, and we have to go through the configuration phase in which we need to have the tokens and then copy and paste all the tokens. Once the configuration field starts getting filled, it will reconnect to our Azure cloud.

The deployment process is quite simple. So, there are no big issues in the deployment part of Azure. Since it is a cloud solution, there is no need for other people to deploy or maintain the solution. If anyone is involved in such processes, then he or she must be an expert in Azure.

If there is an issue we face in the solution, then we raise a ticket. The Azure and Microsoft team then handles such issues of their users. So there is no manpower required to configure the solution since we can do it on our physical servers.

Azure Cost Management is a free solution. The cost is only for Azure cloud. Apart from that, based on how much a host consumes the solution, we need to pay.

The loading part of the solution is good. Overall, there are no issues in Azure Cost Management.

A person who has a physical server, and has personal knowledge of a physical server, can directly use Azure. A person who knows to use AWS can also connect to Azure. Only certain terminologies in AWS and Azure should be clear. Apart from that, the architecture and connection in regards to how the data is doing and other such related things must be known by the person planning to use Azure.

I rate the overall solution a nine out of ten.
