In terms of the benefits for our company's operations from the cost alerts provided by the tool, I would say that cloud optimization was just one of the initiatives that I took up as an engineering director. The tool might have different features, but I think one of its greatest things is its good documentation, which our company can implement very quickly. I have not tried the tool's AI part so far because I think we are very specific with our AI policy in our company, so we haven't given any AI too much of a chance yet to actually contribute to the practices that we are doing, but I think it will happen in the future or next quarter. Maintenance is mostly done automatically, but even if we require something, then there is a team that takes care of the regular maintenance and updates that we have to do. I rate the tool as 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.
I would advise others who want to use Azure Cost Management to read the documentation. I rate Azure Cost Management a six out of ten. I gave my rating of six out of ten because there are plenty of other similar solutions on the market.

I give the solution an eight out of ten. We currently have around 30 people using the solution and we have plans to increase that usage. I advice new users to take the training courses before using 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're a cloud management company. I run sales, so I am not using the solution to any great technical extent. We have a technical relationship with Azure. We're very integrated with Azure. Not just from a Cost Management perspective, but also from orchestrated Azure services. We're an extra service delivery platform. We actually hook into Azure, Alibaba, GCP, AWS, OpenStack, Nutanix, VMware. We're hooked into 27 different public cloud providers and private hypervisor solutions. The solution is a SaaS-based product. We run our own platform. We basically have a SaaS service. We connect into Azure subscriptions or Azure EA or CSP, and the customer will then provide us with credentials, and then we would basically automate all of the customer mediation across Azure. We would identify approximate remediation times as suggested across many different services, and then automatically put in policy-based workflows that would continue to remediate the services deployed within the Azure environment. We do certify our platform with the Azure certification programs. We are certified in the marketplace in terms of connecting to the marketplace and their APIs. We look at deeper aspects of the product and read up on technical support about the Azure console front end. Overall, I would recommend it to small and medium businesses. I wouldn't recommend it to large enterprises due to the lack of automation. I do quite like the product and would rate it seven out of ten.

I would recommend this product to anyone who is deploying to the cloud. I would rate this solution a seven out of ten.

My advice for anybody who is implementing this solution is to carefully consider the design. If the design gets too complex then it will lead to poor performance. I would rate this solution a six out of ten.

I would advise people to aim for functionality, and not to spend money they don't have. In Azure and other services, sometimes you can forget about services you have, you're not using them and you're still paying for them. Cost Management helps with controlling that. I would rate this product a seven out of 10.
My advice to others would be that they should use it. They should try it out - it's a very good solution, and it gives a very detailed analysis as your subscription costs. I would like the developers to add more features about migration, like how much it would cost to migrate from, let's say, AWS to Azure. That would be great. On a scale from 1 to 10, where 1 is the worst and 10 is the best, I rate Azure Cost a good 9.
Azure Cost Management empowers organizations to monitor cloud spend, drive organizational accountabilities, and optimize cloud efficiency so they can accelerate future cloud investments with confidence.
Overall, I'd rate Azure Cost Management eight out of ten. We recommend it to our clients and customers.
