Nerdio Manager allows you to capture and report per-user costs by allocating the total cost of your AVD deployment (compute, storage, network, PaaS, SaaS, etc.) based on individual desktop usage duration within the selected time frame. The Costs & Efficiency Insights page in Nerdio Manager enables you to view and download cost information and metrics related to administrative efficiency.
To view and configure User Cost Attribution insights:
-
In Nerdio Manager, navigate to Observability > Insights > Costs & Efficiency > User Cost Attribution area.
-
User Cost Attribution is a powerful feature with extensive reporting and customization features. For detailed guidance, see the dedicated pages for this feature, starting with User cost attribution overview.

This feature is in Public Preview.
Nerdio Manager's operational efficiency dashboard provides an overview of administrator time and effort saved by using Nerdio to manage your Azure services, compared to an equivalent deployment managed natively in Azure. It also offers recommendations for further improving these savings.
Note
Measures of the benefits and efficiency savings offered by Nerdio Manager are based on a comparison with the projected overhead incurred by an experienced administrator performing equivalent actions natively in Azure to those automated by Nerdio Manager. This comparison is based on robust and reproducible measurements in a test environment. Precise details of the comparison process are available on request.
