Cloud adoption with Microsoft Azure is the first step towards a reliable, scalable, and low-cost IT infrastructure. However, how do you use Azure Cost Management to manage and monitor your monthly costs to get the most value from Microsoft�™s best-in-class solution?
Particularly in larger organisations, with multiple teams deploying Azure resources – do you have the tools and expertise to keep a tab on your organisation�™s monthly spend and analyse Azure monthly spend versus your business requirements?
TriStratus’ Azure Cost Analysis offers you the visibility of your spend when using the cloud. It�™s easy to spin up infrastructure or create virtual machines but if you�™re not keeping a close eye on spending, costs can spiral quickly.
Through our review you�™ll actually save money by uncovering overspend and unnecessary expenses, get help setting a budget, keeping an eye on spend—whether that�™s daily, weekly, or monthly—and setting up notifications and alerts should spending start to creep over budgeted levels.
TriStratus helps you break down the details of your Azure spend, providing an in-depth look into exactly what everything costs, and support with grouping and filtering across your resources.
Get insights into exactly what a service is currently costing you, or if you�™re trying to figure out why your bill is higher than you anticipated.
As an organisation�™s use of Azure grows, it becomes more likely that resources are un-necessarily duplicated or the design becomes cost in-efficient. TriStratus offers the necessary ability to better monitor, manage and optimise overall costs.
The following services are included in Azure Cost Analysis Review:
- Reviewing invoices monthly.
- Analysing resource costs up to previous business day with different granularity (by day, resource or resource group etc).

- Proactively conducting spend analysis and setting alerts or notifications.

- Optimising cost by identifying opportunities for savings.
