Overall Satisfaction with Apptio Cloudability

Cloudability is used to analyze consumption and usage of AWS Cloud Services. As we scale our services and customer-base, there was a pressing need to reign in COGS. Cloudability is used to report, identify, and execute on the reduction and optimization of our Cloud Infrastructure across our entire AWS portfolio.

Pros

  • Dashboard
  • Resizing
  • AWS Integration
  • Reports

Cons

  • Automatic time windows
  • Widget information
  • Reduction of cloud cost
  • Faster expense reporting
  • Faster resolution of cloud waste
Certain edge cases likely monthly dashboards need to be reset every month. This is very tedious for a product this expensive.
  • ApptioOne
We do not use any other products in the Apptio portfolio. There is no need at this time. If we were to add another product, it would probably be ApptioOne so we can gain access to better dashboarding products and features.

Do you think IBM Cloudability delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with IBM Cloudability's feature set?

Yes

Did IBM Cloudability live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of IBM Cloudability go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy IBM Cloudability again?

No

Cloudability is best suited for small to medium sized cloud operations. It excels at rapid creation of dashboards. It seems to become less efficient when the user is a highly experienced FinOps engineer. Competitor products offer some features that make gathering this information faster.
