Azure cost analysis for maximum savings
We uncover immediate savings potential that you can use to optimize instead of paying for consumption.
Your valuable and limited IT budget for your priorities:
No matter what you pay your cloud provider - it's more than you need.
We identify the black holes in your cloud universe and free up budget for your priorities.
Transparent costs
Oversized or unused resources quickly lead to unnecessary expenditure.
Optimize resources
Optimization ensures efficient use of resources - increasing the ROI of your cloud investment.
Promoting innovation
Use your savings to invest in innovation.
Sustainability
Optimized resources reduce the CO2 footprint and help to meet budget and compliance requirements.
1. free assessment
Risk-free and free of charge
The first assessment is free of charge.
We identify short-term and quickly realizable savings in your Azure environment. Based on these savings, we agree a consulting budget for further analysis and cost optimization.
2. consulting
Independent and individual
In contrast to tools such as the Azure Cost Advisor, which provides Microsoft-oriented recommendations, our consultancy delivers neutral optimization suggestions focused on your Azure environment.
We provide a clear and detailed analysis of current cloud spend and also uncover the hidden cost drivers.
3. sustainable optimization
Long-term increase in efficiency
MAKONIS develops measures to make the infrastructure more efficient in the long term and minimize future expenditure.
Calculate cost advantage now
In our assessment, we quickly identify sustainable savings potential and show you further ways to reduce your costs in the long term.
- The calculation is based on a potential reduction of 11.3% of annual Azure spend. This percentage is an average value resulting from the implementation of short-term applicable measures, such as reservations and shutdowns, and savings opportunities identified in the free assessment that can be implemented directly.
- As part of the assessment, issues are usually identified that should be analyzed and optimized as part of further consultation. For example, 50% of the direct cost savings can remain with the customer or be used for other purposes.
- The calculation is based on an expected reduction of a further 14.8% of annual Azure expenditure. This percentage is a conservatively achievable average value resulting from the implementation of measures applicable in the medium term, such as refactoring, redesign and optimized service usage in Azure.
- Our approach allows the budget to be mobilized by ensuring that the amounts saved do not flow to Microsoft.
The total savings are calculated from the measures that can be implemented directly and the additional annual savings potential that is released through appropriate consulting. The expenses for consulting are included in the calculation.

Our answers to your questions
The assessment is aimed at IT decision-makers who are under pressure to deliver cloud innovation while meeting growing demands for cost efficiency.
If you feel your Azure spend is getting out of control, the Azure Cost Optimization Assessment from MAKONIS is just the tool you need. It helps you to effectively reduce your cloud costs without compromising on performance.
Complexity of cloud usage:
As cloud usage grows, companies often lose track of their expenditure.
Oversized resources:
Often too many resources are allocated, which are not fully utilized and cause costs.
Lack of transparency:
Without clear insights, potential savings remain untapped.
Our cost structure is risk-free and performance-based. Unlike many competitors who charge high fixed fees or hourly billing with no guarantee of savings, we offer a free analysis. You only pay when we achieve actual savings.
Yes, our approach goes beyond a one-off analysis. We support you in implementing the optimizations and ensure that your cloud infrastructure is continuously adapted to current requirements in order to guarantee long-term efficiency and cost reductions. Other providers often only focus on short-term solutions without ensuring sustainability.
The assessment provides clear insights into your cloud expenditure, identifies oversized resources and ensures greater transparency in your cloud usage. It helps you to identify potential savings and avoid unnecessary costs.
In contrast to other providers who often provide general and Microsoft-oriented recommendations (such as the Azure Cost Advisor), we offer independent solutions that are specifically tailored to your cloud usage. Our measures are designed to sustainably reduce your expenditure and optimize your infrastructure in the long term.
While AI-powered tools like the Azure Cost Advisor often only provide generic and standardized recommendations, our analysis is based on a detailed review of your specific cloud usage. We take individual circumstances into account and develop customized strategies that enable sustainable savings - something that automated tools cannot do in the same depth.
