We can analyze our AWS cost by slicing and dissing,

We can filter the cost based on many things, resource, tag etc , using which it is easier to identify the cost factor and try to optimize it,

it has different types of analytic grapes and chart which helps in visualizing the cost trend,

cost values gets updated almost in real time,

It gives a understanding and proof of the billing,

What do you dislike?

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
