User Testimonials
	Azure Cost Management	Virtana Optimize
Likelihood to Recommend	Microsoft A highly capable Azure Cloud platform and the best Cloud resource and cost management and data analytical capability are excellent. Azure Cost Management provides amazing capacity and performance analytics effectively and quite an easy tool Cloud efficiency optimization and its interface are very easy and friendly for the new users to get familiar with the tool easily. Incentivized Sylvia Beranice Automation Engineer Read full review	Virtana Very suited for medium to the large-sized infrastructure where you have a lot of services to monitor. It may be overkill for small infrastructures where you can use the providers' source of metrics instead. Incentivized AO Adam O'Connor CTO Read full review
Pros	Microsoft Accurate Cost Estimate Detailed Uses Reports and Graphs Quick Alert Notification Incentivized Sneha Sharma Assistant System Engineer Read full review	Virtana AWS Cost analysis across multiple accounts. Identification of orphaned and underutilized resources. Easy integration to your AWS account. Simple and intuitive user interface. Incentivized Mark Swanholm VP SaaS Operations Read full review
Cons	Microsoft It's not easy to track multiple Clouds' costs and resources to new users. Advanced cost management settings require professional expertise. May be complex to deploy Azure Cost Management via Cloud to new inexperienced users. Incentivized Lily Adams Software Engineer Read full review	Virtana It can be tricky to set-up depending on what you want to do. They have their own proprietary way of visualizing metrics, which is clever but does have a slight learning curve. Incentivized AO Adam O'Connor CTO Read full review
Support Rating	Microsoft No answers on this topic	Virtana Anytime we've had issues they have been very responsive and professional. Incentivized AO Adam O'Connor CTO Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Microsoft I've only used this one. Incentivized Marco Urrea DevOps Engineer Read full review	Virtana We strongly prefer Metricly for AWS Cost Analysis -- whereas other tools are easier to use on a traditional monitoring basis. To be clear, Merticly's monitoring tools are GREAT, but they require tuning and manual setup that we didn't have the time for on a small Platform Operations team. We have worked closely with Metricly to expand on their cost analysis capabilities, and plan to use them going forward. Incentivized Mark Swanholm VP SaaS Operations Read full review
Return on Investment	Microsoft The financial reporting. Financial easy data analytics. The migration of data is effective. Incentivized Cedeno Amanda .NET Software Engineer Read full review	Virtana We were able to decrease AWS costs with its predictive analytics by 20% YOY.
