    Multi-cloud environments: Hyperglance works across all Cloud Service Providers (AWS, Azure, GCP). Its visual relationship mapping is ideal for troubleshooting component failures across multiple cloud services (e.g., network issues). Lastly, companies that cannot use SaaS FinOps tools will find Hyperglance a good fit, as it deploys and runs within the customer's VPC.

    I don't have much exposure to the tool. I mean, I'm relatively new to using it as a platform, but I haven't really seen the benefit, especially with the actual renewal talks at the company. I'm not seeing what AWS native solutions are, how probability improves on that as opposed to just using AWS and just, I don't know. I'm not seeing the benefit, at least in my eyes.

    • For me, it is a lot of anomaly detection and I think there's a lot of improvement that can be made to show anomalies that happen over time because if it's just day to day or week to week, you may not see the change. But if you see the trend over a period of time, show me something that has grown 40%, 50% over the past three months and maybe you can do those things and we just haven't figured them out yet. So we are very new to the product, but I think anomaly detection for me is one of the bigger things.

    Cloudability has been one solution for almost all of our FinOps needs. Except for Data transfer costs, we have covered all use cases and have made significant savings across our cloud infrastructure. Reporting has provided management a deeper analysis into their spending and helped them forecast their budgets for next year

    Easy to navigate, very useful for visualizing infrastructure, although some technical features may be simplified for non-technical users.

    I gave the IBM Cloudability a 7/10 because it is good, but it could improve in some places. It is easy to get data uploaded and ready to view, but it is only up to a certain point in time, and not live data. As for how it looks, the interface is good for viewing, however navigation could be a little better, maybe supported with a roadmap.

    While there have been few support cases where the experience was good. But in multiple support cases it's firstly delayed and even after weeks or months of time, team is not able to provide us with the RCA of the issue. All they are claiming is the issue is now fixed which I still see coming back after few days or weeks as we've never identified and addressed the root cause.

    Training was adequate, but the real learning begins when you start using the product, like most things. All major functions were covered so as an entry point, was a good introduction to the product. The training pace was good as well, the areas were covered in decent depth, without being too much of an information overload.

    Alternatives Considered

    We also used Datadog in the start for monitoring and getting information about health of our systems, it is also very good for alerts and metrics, while we got to see our cloudsetup and relationship between different resources, these are like add ons to what Datadog is giving , and also cost is less compared to Datadog.

    Before Apptio we extensively used the cloud native and in house automated and developed cost optimization tool using python , powershell and leveraging the various cloud native services like AWS systems manager , Azure Functions and Azure automation run books.

    Return on Investment
    Hyperglance
    • I would say time , we can save lot of time, if we dont have Hyperglance we have check all the services and resources, which we now have in a single place.
    • we can Save money, Because it helps us very easy to find unused resources.
    • One downside i think is , it will take sometime to understand all the features when u start using it.Once you understand everything i would say there is no going back.
