Overall Satisfaction with Apptio Cloudability

My organization uses Apptio Cloudability for cloud reporting. As a part of Finance, I use Apptio Cloudability for actual cloud usage, cloud forecasts, and invoice details. My organization previously used a self developed tool for cloud reporting. However as the organization's cloud footprint grew, we needed a more mature tool to report on cloud usage and forecasting. Apptio Cloudability provides a user friendly way for Technology and Finance to align on cloud spend.

Pros

  • User-friendly views
  • Filtering capabilities
  • Connections to source data

Cons

  • Ability to see fiscal year view when fiscal and calendar year differ
  • More visual chart options
  • Improved visibility into cloud spend
  • Visibility into reserved instance usage
  • Greater alignment between technology and finance
Apptio Cloudability's usability is great! The interface is very user friendly. I was able to pick up how to add filters and comparative dates very easily. The widgets within the dashboard are also very easy to set up and adjust. One thing I would like to see is the ability to set fiscal year views. My organization's fiscal year differs from the calendar year so I would like the option to set fiscal year within the tool.
  • ApptioOne
  • Targetprocess
My organization uses the entire Apptio product suite. We are currently working on implementing ApptioOne. I don't have much experience using ApptioOne. I don't use Targetprocess. I cannot comment about the business impact of using multiple Apptio products at this time.
