AI Generated Summary
AI-generated. Powered by real user reviews.
  • Users report that AWS Cost Explorer excels in its "Spend Forecasting and Optimization" capabilities, providing detailed insights and predictive analytics that help businesses plan their budgets effectively. In contrast, Azure Cost Management and Billing offers basic forecasting features that some users find less intuitive.
  • Reviewers mention that AWS Cost Explorer's "Dashboards and Visualizations" are highly customizable, allowing users to create tailored views of their spending data. Meanwhile, Azure's visualizations are considered more rigid, which can limit the ability to present data in a user-friendly manner.
  • G2 users highlight that AWS Cost Explorer's "Quality of Support" is superior, with many reviewers praising the responsiveness and helpfulness of the support team. Conversely, users on G2 have noted that Azure's support can be slower and less effective in resolving issues.
  • Users say that AWS Cost Explorer's "Ease of Use" is a significant advantage, with a user-friendly interface that simplifies navigation and data interpretation. In comparison, Azure Cost Management and Billing has been described as having a steeper learning curve, which can be frustrating for new users.
  • Reviewers mention that AWS Cost Explorer provides robust "Cost Optimization" recommendations, helping users identify areas to reduce spending effectively. Azure's recommendations, while useful, are often seen as less comprehensive and actionable.

The customer service and the free trial for about a year. You can get a free space for a period of time unless you overpass the limit they give you.
