Navigating to the cost explorer is quit confusing at the beginning, it wold be better if it cold be accessed easily

filter UI could be improved, example it i select a tag and i should be allowed to select multi values for it, but now it auto applies ones i select one value,

some things like this could be improved Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that it lets me explore different options and search by tags. When I tag my Amazon Web Services Elastic Compute Cloud instances, I would want to tag them and see pricing per each tag. That comes really useful for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike a report function which is very inconvenient. CSV file can be imported but really hard to integrate with any of Databases on Amazon Web Services to search and run queries. However, I have found a solution using Anthena which works just fine for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that it gives me detailed information about the billing for different period of times, it also has a nice interactive dashboard stating all the used services - for how long and various rates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes, new services don't show up fast enough - so I may need to wait for a day or something until it's propagated through the system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Like all amazon companies, it is very efficient, concise and a great tool for all companies to use. Great customer service! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing so far, it is a great tool, still learning new features, not a whole lot of new changes coming around which is a good thing Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ease of controlling the costs by separating by departments greatly helps the monthly control, the reports of that tool greatly help the financial team to define the accounting separation between the areas, Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I believe it is possible to improve, add the separation of costs per service with in addition to tags. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
