Azure Cost Management Reviews

We use the public, private, and hybrid deployment models of this solution. Our primary use cases of this solution are for cost management, performance, cost analysts, cost alerts, and budget recommendations.

The advisor recommendations feature is the most valuable feature. It helps set your environment in a clean state.

Self-healing could be a nice addition to this solution. It would be nice if they had self-healing. 

It would be good if they could introduce connections to other clouds. It would be good to connect to AWS and Oracle cloud.

It's rock-solid, it's absolutely stable. 

This solution can manage your whole infrastructure across the hybrid and private clouds. It scales really well. We are a distributor of this solution. We have around 3,000 customers. 

We do have plans to increase usage. 

It's a free product. It doesn't need much support, there is a lot of documentation.

The setup is straightforward. As soon as you deploy something in Azure, Cost Management is also automatically deployed. It's there by default. 

It's free out of the box. 

The biggest lesson I have learned from this solution is that free tools are a must. They're great. 

I would rate it a ten out of ten. 

We use the solution to manage costs.

The product provides visibility into what we are consuming.

The dashboard could be improved.

I have been using the solution for two years.

I rate the tool’s stability an eight out of ten.

Less than ten people, including administrators and engineers, are using the product in our organization. The maintenance is done automatically by Microsoft. The tool is very scalable. I rate the scalability an eight out of ten.

The support team is helpful. The quality of support depends on how much we are willing to spend.

Neutral

We used Commvault to support a client. We did not use it extensively, though.

The installation was pretty straightforward. The time taken for deployment varies depending on the product. Usually, we need a few minutes for deployment.

The product is not cheap, but it is not expensive either. I rate the pricing a five out of ten. We have to pay for support.

We are system integrators. I recommend the tool to others. Overall, I rate the tool a six out of ten.

I use Azure Cost Management to track the costing that is incurred by my resources and the servers that are running. There are different generations of servers that I use. For every service or server that is running, Azure provides costing. Support management and cost analysis provide a drill down view of all the services that I am using and the cost associated with it.

A few hundred people use this solution in our business. 

The best thing about Azure Cost Management is the cost analysis functionality because it provides regular alerts. Even when I am not monitoring cost, someone in my team can be set up to receive notifications in real time. This helps us ensure we are not over budget at the end of the month.

It can be difficult to determine the cost associated with certain resources as it relies on a tagging progress. This means we need to drill down billing reports to highlight and fix missing tags. 

I have been using this solution for a couple of years. 

The initial setup is straightforward. The time of deployment depends on the resources you use and time you select with Azure. 

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten due to the challenge with pricing and missing tags. 

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? 

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.

Azure Cost Management helps track customer bills and tag resources. 

My organization benefits from the tool's performance and time-saving features. 

Azure Cost Management helps in bill management and eliminates resources. 

We have encountered delays in support.

I use the solution for personal use.

The dashboard is really useful.

The dashboard could be improved.

I have been using the solution for one year. I am using the latest version of the solution.

The tool is very stable. I rate the stability a ten out of ten.

The tool is scalable.

I use Azure OpenAI for some experiments.

I use the online web application. The maintenance is done automatically by the vendor.

The pricing is good.

I use the solution once a week. Overall, I rate the product a ten 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.
