Overall Satisfaction with Apptio Cloudability

We use Apptio Cloudability to do a lot of cost analysis and reporting across and large estate of AWS accounts. This allows us to track our daily, weekly, monthly spend on various services across our accounts and make decisions about our trajectory. Some of the default reports are very useful as a template but need to be customized to get the details you want represented properly. The dashoard showing daily spend on AWS services (each service,per account) is one of the most useful parts of Apptio Cloudability.
  • Aggregating spend across accounts
  • customizable reports based on needs
  • Customizable charts and graphs on dashboards
  • Simplify the filtering and query language
  • Realtime page refresh
  • Autofill suggestions when creating reports
  • Ability to see cost trends and make adjustments based on budgets
Some of the reporting tooling is not so straight forward. You can eventually get the information you need but the way the filtering is done is not intuitive. The title and use of the default templates is not always accurate. Sometimes the data being pulled and represented needs some finness in order to get it to display how or what you want.

Compared to some of the other data reporting and visualation tools, Apptio Cloudability stacks up well. It is a very niche product but can be extended to do some cloud management and reporting fairly easily. For example getting emails based on a lack of asset tagging, right sizing suggestions based on resource usage. Some other tools like cloud custodian do offer a more developer friendly tool by allowing people to create policys through code but are not as feature rich as Apptio Cloudability.

Great for managing a large estate of cloud accounts, getting aggregate numbers for spend with the ability to dill down to specific cloud services. We have used Apptio Cloudability to do audits of particular services within AWS and determine where we can make cuts and save money. You can set Apptio Cloudability to create and email reports that show spending trends to see how things shift on a daily, weekly, monthly basis.
