Overall Satisfaction with Apptio Cloudability

The organization I work for uses Apptio Cloudability to analyze data of possible savings in our AWS cloud. As we have hundreds of AWS accounts distributed in several departments, there is a need to check if people are properly using cloud, avoiding waste of money and then suggesting optimization changes that could improve our efficiency. Soon we will have Azure as well and then we will use Apptio Cloudability to analyze these data too.
  • Find unattached volumes that are not in use that can be safely deleted
  • Find instances which have more CPU or memory than it could have
  • Discover volume types that are more cost effective than default ones
  • Discover instance types with proper CPU/memory values for each use
  • Discover resources that are spending huge amount of money
  • Interface and filtering must be improved, as it throws a huge amount of data and people get lost without knowing where to start
  • View sharing could be made easy
  • Make easy to filter by cloud account and resource type
  • It could have a way to discard some recommendations, as we have tried some and then had to turn back due to performance issues
  • Find where the money is going
  • Improve cloud efficiency
  • Force technical staff to analyze more resource types when creating new resources
Some interface looks polluted, too much information at once. Filtering system needs an improvement, it is hard to reduce data to a human understandable level to make proper analysis and decisions. I have to use its API (I had to develop a Python library, there is no official library available) to reduce these data and save reports in Excel worksheets.

Personally I am not using any other Apptio product. I don't know if anyone else in company is using these products. And this form does not allow to follow without selecting any of these products.

Would you buy Apptio Cloudability again?

No

Apptio Cloudability is great to know how much money is spent in each cloud account, as well how much they can be optimized. However, some recommendations create performance issues and there could be an easy way to discard them. Maybe an AI could read these "approved" and "discarded" recommendations in history to improve the recommendation system.
