IT Manager at CONCRETOS LA SILLA
Flexible and a good solution for user with different environments
The setup was generally easy. The most complex aspect was configuring the VPN. While not overly difficult, it was more challenging compared to setting up other VPNs. However, once we resolved the initial VPN configuration issue, everything has been smooth sailing. It's a matter of familiarity. Initially, the technology is unfamiliar, but with experience, configuration becomes easier. Deployment time: We didn't have any problems. We determined the implementation date, considered the transition for ourselves and our users, and it went smoothly. Maintenance: There isn't much required. If the stability, resolution, and capacity planning are correct for our needs, or if we need to expand storage, then maintenance is mostly handled by our banking team.

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. Those interfaces could be made simpler. I'm not much into analytics patterns, so Azure Cost Management's Cost Analytics feature hasn't particularly helped my organization understand spending patterns.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"AWS is consistently innovating and releasing new products and features."
"It's a no-brainer, basically, it does all the work for you and gives you the optimum solution you have to accommodate your company even within future variabilities and changes you may do."
"The most valuable feature of AWS Savings Plans is we can discuss budgets briefly during our confirmation process since we are aware of our usual consumption patterns. Creating budgets in this regard would be beneficial, as it would allow us to consume only what we need, without including reserve instances that do not serve our purpose."
"The initial setup is very easy."
"The most valuable features of Azure Cost Management are the ability to set standards or tagging policies and initiatives. You can achieve higher cost optimization."
"Technical support is good."
"Continuous monitoring helps me detect anomalies in the pipeline, preplan resource scalability, and assist with cost management by offering good visibility into resource utilization."
"Good control features and user interface."
"We find the analytics available via this solution to be very useful, as it allows us to easily see detailed cost information for each of our various subscription elements."
"Overall, I would recommend it to small and medium businesses."
"The most valuable thing for us in this solution is the control feature, and I also like the user interface which is simple to use."
"The most valuable feature of Azure Cost Management is its way of segregating accounts based on resources."
 

Cons

"The visibility of AWS Savings Plans could improve."
"In the future, it would be interesting if there could be a combination of Savings Plans and some Reserved Servers."
"The most complex aspect was configuring the VPN."
"The forecasting model can improve Azure Cost Management."
"We lack a resource and ID login, and it would be good if they added it."
"It would be beneficial if Azure Cost Management could automatically generate budget rules using AI insights, eliminating the need for manual configuration."
"The tool's pricing should be made cheaper."
"Cost Management could always provide more details. The more information, the better. They just need to build on what they have now."
"Stability is an area in the solution that lacks in certain areas. So, it needs to be improved."
"It would be nice if they could introduce connections to other clouds. It would be good to connect to AWS and Oracle cloud."
"For us, it only works for one provider. So we need to be more of a hybrid solution for any cloud."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Compared to Azure or Google, the solution is much cheaper."
"We are using pay-as-you-go licenses mostly for our customers."
"It's bundled in with the package. I have it as part of the package."
"The tool's licensing costs are monthly."
"Based on the transitional cost we charge, it's not expensive, but could be better."
"Compared to competitors, it's cost-effective. I would rate the pricing a seven out of ten, with ten being expensive."
"Azure Cost Management is a free cost management tool."
"I give the solution's overall cost an eight out of ten."
"You are charged based on how much you use the solution."
