"A tool to manage and maintain AWS computing costs"
5/5
What do you like best about AWS Budgets?

Transparency to all computing costs of various services if they are over or below the budget.

It allows the ability to maintain multiple budges for each unit / services. it's highly configurable so in case of in breach of budge it will send an alert, which can trigger cost saving mode (moving to cheaper instances semi automatically, meaning we need to trigger the instance replacement)

With the information we collected with this tool we managed to reduce our costs by optimizing our instances size by usage time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Budgets?

The tool is not fully automated, meaning in case of budget limit reached, the system can't reduce the number of running instances or to scale them down to reduce costs, this is needed to be done manually by AWS administrator. however, we had a workaround so an in house system can receive the alert and adjust the running instances to reduce costs. Would be even a greater tool if it could be linked to auto scaling group directly instead of using 3rd party. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great and useful tool"
5/5
What do you like best about AWS Budgets?

I love how simple it is to create a budget for a server. It has not only saved us money monthly but it allows us to stay on top of the server costs as we grow our user base. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Budgets?

I dislike that it took my team so long to set this up. As our application usage grew, so did our server costs and it go away from us without knowing each month. This tool has helped is forecast a lot better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"All that has to do with budgets in one place!"
3.5/5
What do you like best about AWS Budgets?

I like that it is completely customizable. I can make it very complex, but the system is very easy to use. I like that you can choose the start and end dates. I like that I have the option to have an alert when I am approaching a budget. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Budgets?

However, I actually do not like how long it takes to set up an account. There is so much info that you have to add in order for the system to accurately analyze your budget. It is also hard to re-adjust an already set budget, but sometimes this is necessary. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
