Azure isn't just cloud servers but more cloud services. Enabling Modern Authentification and AD sync to a cloud-based Active Directory is a powerful tool. If you know what you are doing and how billing works Azure Cloud virtual machines can be fully utilized to bring a robust solution to access anywhere terminal services or file shares.

Billibles are highly unpredictable even when you use the calculator. Usage is harder to predict and perhaps its a matter of experience. However we've found with enviroments utilized by 100 users on a cloud server its night on impossible to 100% tell a client what their bill may be even using historical predictions.
