AWS Budgets Pros and Cons

I love the forecast feature - an awesome feature if you're a couple years in your business. I also love that you pay for what you use... that's a great feature that more programs should adapt. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The setup process is long and could be improved! It shouldn't take long to set up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love how easy the program is to use and how efficiently it handles budgets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike that some things I'd love to customize are not fully available to customize. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have to say that as a worker in a non-profit, budgets are HUGE. What I like so much about this product is having the availability to make and keep a strict budget Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

To be honest, I’m not sure I’m finding much I don’t like. Very easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The thing that I like best is that is it completely user friendly. I can use it with easy and not much training involved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The thing I dislike most has to be the input data areangment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

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.

Amazon always lacks in making the UI user-friendly Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's intuitive and easy to use as well as integrated with so much existing data just from being AWS Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's a silo - few platforms really compete with the good ole spreadsheet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

From the AWS Budgets Dashboard, you can create, edit, and manage your budgets, as well as view the status of each of your budgets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Configurations can be lot more simpler. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It notifies you based on a budget threshold you have set out in the target. You are able to get alerted on a predefined threshold Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its not dynamic, it is kind of static. I set a number in, but it doesn't think about predictions or seasons or anything like that Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The interface and the features that help you plan your budget and view your spending in categories.. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Bit slow sometimes and should have a better recommendation algorithm to save monthly depending on where your spending is most wasteful per month.. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
