"Budget- next MBA tool"

4.5/5

What do you like best about AWS Budgets?

I like that it's easy to use and you can store info in S3 buckets for any further analysis. I like how it's easy to set up and integrate with AWS SNS and AWS SES which makes it very easy to send out notifications to the Accounting team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Budgets?

Apart from having an overhead with Cost Explorer, it is somewhat difficult to set it right the way you want it. I mean I like everything here and it is really difficult to find anything i do not like but If I have to, that is probably a lack of custom set up to budgets meaning that I would want to make an automatic stretch of budget when it is needed. However, I do understand that such function may not be available in the near future because it requires a beta testing of Machine Learning. It is very difficult to find anything bad about this system to be honest. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
