We have saved 50 percent of the time with Azure Cost Management. 

I rate the tool's pricing a seven out of ten. 

We maintain the tool with the help of third-party service teams. Azure Cost Management is an enterprise solution. I rate the product a nine out of ten. 

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 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. 

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.

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 are satisfied with the product, and it is working for us with respect to the VM.

We lack a resource and ID login, and it would be good if they added it.

We have been using this solution for less than a year. We use the solution from the Cost Manager portal only.

The product is stable.

The product is scalable. One other person in the organization and I use this solution.

Technical support is not required. It is easy to log in, and everything is graphical so that you can build on the published resources.

You do not need to deploy the solution. You only need access to Cost Management.

There is no licensing cost. Azure Cost Management only comes with the Azure portal, and there is no cost. When you integrate other cloud services with the portal, there is no cost.

I rate the solution an eight out of ten.
