A couple of days ago, on January 17th, the new Daily Spending Report Feature of the Azure Cost Monitor went live.

We are very pleased that the reports were adopted so well. We got some nice feedback from our users appreciating the new functionality.

This feature has been build to reflect what our users told us they need – a simple way of tracking all Azure cloud costs on a daily basis and transparency for every stakeholder in the company.

The daily spending reports make it easy for the Operations Department to track the cloud spendings and react upon this data immediately.

Controllers of the Finance Department need to understand what the company is spending throughout the month. Azure Cost Monitor reports give them a convenient way to have a good overview on a daily basis.

Managers always need to be aware about the most important KPIs within the company. The new daily spending reports of the Azure Cost Monitor give them the freedom to always have a quick and precise overview on the company’s cloud spendings.

Whenever you’ve got any questions, wishes or further ideas please don’t hesitate and let us know by leaving a message or request them in our feedback portal.

The report will be send once a day, at about 03:00 AM CET. If – for any reason – you do not wish to get the daily reports, it’s of course possible to disable the reports in the new notifications section of the Azure Cost Monitor portal:

We hope this feature brings more transparency in your Azure Cloud Spendings and makes it much easier for you to manage and control all costs.

The azure cost monitor team is pleased to announce the launch of their newly designed Web site, which goes live today, and is located at the same address: https://costs.azurewebsites.net.

It has been crafted to reflect what our users told us they need and it also builds upon new technology capable of addressing future needs. The azure cost monitor now enables our users to analyse and manage their Microsoft Azure Costs even more intuitively:

More modern and user-friendly design
The new site design, aside from being aesthetically pleasing, is more agile, interactive, and is easier to scan, read and navigate.
It is now using a responsive design, which means that you’ll see essentially the same design optimized for your smart phone, tablet and desktop.

Improved and re-designed landing page
We know that landing pages are very important so we have decided to totally re-design and re-organise ours. Our new landing page now displays all important information like features, screenshots, a contact form and log-in possibilities.
