Apptio Cloudability Review
- It shows the visibility into the cost and a single pane of glass for all of our cloud providers, multiple products in those multi-cloud. So it shows us our spending across the cloud by vendor, by product, and by all the tags that we have in the cloud. So it gives us visibility into many different directions in our cost.
- 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.

- We use Cloudability to generate monthly cost reports for each business unit. These reports show the business unit's total cloud spend, as well as a breakdown of costs by cloud provider, service, and project.
- We use Cloudability to rightsize our instances. Cloudability can help us to identify instances that are overprovisioned or underprovisioned. We can then resize these instances to optimize our costs.
- Cloudability currently supports a wide range of cloud providers and services, but it does not support all of the services offered by Google Cloud Platform (GCP).
