IBM Apptio vs. Nicus

It makes budgeting for IT intuitive and collaborative. The ability to quickly pivot from budget to a rolling forecast is game changer for IT Finance teams. Dissecting budgets into their respective cost items makes the process defensible and helps to surface opportunities. Apptio is also well suited for total cost of ownership analyses for different technologies and services.

• Does very well at handling complex allocations and automation. Also great at bringing in data automatically, manipulating that data, and allowing you to feed that data into a complex model. So all the behind-the-scenes stuff works really well. It's also pretty good at visualization. It has some similar capabilities like a Power BI and Tableau, but generally provides most of the visualization technology that somebody would need with the tool.

We absolutely love it at the State of Kansas. It is very user-friendly, which helps us explain the information to those who are not as into the budgets. We consult out with Marysville, and they are super helpful in helping us with the behind the scenes stuff, like creating new tabs and uploading the reports for us to filter through. It is very simple to use and that helps us be able to teach others in our department how to use it properly.

TBM Studio needs more OOB setup for tables to make design easier. There are a lot more standards/similar needs from customers that could be put together to guide new users through implementation more. Reduce manual keying. produce insights of what companies put mapping formulas, Especially related to Lookup formulas. Missing reporting to help during the budget process. Apptio annualize current state data. but does not help with predicting data fr budgets, comparison data during budget for review and presentations

The Apptio team has been very attentive throughout our proof of concept process. Our billing is complicated with both showback and chargeback. The Apptio team is always willing to help at any time, even at 4:00 on a Friday!! Looking forward to learning and collaborating with them more in the future.

Was awesome to have been taught by legendary Debbie Hagan for Cost Transparency in person. Her knowledge is extensive and she is an excellent trainer. Her years of experience really shined.

The all talented training organization crosses all the T's and dots all the I's. I am constantly learning and often refer to training documentation for post training real life issues.

Well, so far. Apptio Consulting covered specific model architecting areas particularly. Most of the heavy lifting is being done in-house with support from Apptio as it relates to tool impacts and needs. Some administrative tasks were redundant

I personally have not used or evaluated any other product similar to Apptio. I can say that this is a great service and we use it often and we are growing how we use it. We are planning on expanding the way we use this database. We are excited to hear about more of the apptio products/modules that would benefit our agency

I would say it has the capabilities to span across multiple departments, though i am not as familiar with all the capabilities.

• On the finance side, it's very easy to accelerate the reporting, so the reporting capabilities prior to that were being done in Excel sheets, like highly customizable dashboards that made it very difficult to paint the information. So Apptio made it really easy to do that.
• An additional value that came out of their ROI was understanding the total application costs and understanding as applications were being decommissioned, it allowed you to essentially trace all the different elements that needed to be decommissioned before an application could be fully decommissioned. And what that does is it reduces the amount of trailing costs or residual costs that just end up on the books because no one's really paying attention to it. Apptio allows you to highlight those costs that are still coming in for an application that's already been decommissioned and allows you to essentially cut out those costs so that they don't continue being a burden on your financials.
