Microsoft Azure Cost Management Benefits

Benefits

The main benefits of Microsoft Azure Cost Management are its real-time monitoring, its forecasts, and its ability to make teams accountable for their expenses. Here are more details:

Since users of Microsoft Azure Cost Management are armed with tools that can keep track of real-time expenses that are cloud-related, they can be confident that everything stays within their cloud budget.

When Microsoft Azure Cost Management interfaces with Google Cloud, AWS, and Microsoft Azure, users can effectively collect information about cloud usage and billing. Just by looking at a single window, users can get insights on expenses across various cloud services and cloud consumption. Custom dashboards can also be built so that relevant data can be easily viewed.

The forecasting feature that comes with Microsoft Azure Cost Management also enables users to adequately prepare for the future. It does this by looking at historical data and the insights gained from that can be used for better preparation and planning when it comes to the cloud budget.

Costs can be allocated to projects and teams, rather than having an organizational cloud budget that is inflexible. This encourages accountability among teams when it comes to expenses that are cloud-related. This also encourages teams to give the proper personnel access to data.

Budget thresholds can also be created with Microsoft Azure Cost Management, with users immediately alerted whenever a project or team is close to exceeding the limits set for expenses.
