Overall Satisfaction with Apptio Cloudability

We use Apptio Cloudability to help with cloud cost and usage visibility to educate our users on our use of public cloud. We make optimization decisions such as commitment purchasing and rightsizing. We also use the platform to help with tag remediation. A big use case for us to help understand our services down to the resource ID level and Apptio Cloudability does a great job of querying the data quickly.
  • Customizable Dashboards and Reporting
  • Recommendations for Rightsizing, AWS Reserved Instances, and Savings Plan
  • Splitting cost by various business segments by way of the Views feature
  • Better 3rd party integration for reporting (direct Google Sheets)
  • Improvements on RBAC
  • OpenSearch Reserved Instances recommendations do not exist
  • Helped expose direct cost of anomalous spend to rectify
  • Helped with ROI by Savings Plan and RI commitment purchases
  • Helped to marry AWS to our ARR data to help identify areas of improvement
Users often comment on how clean and easy it is to read the Cloudability platform. Many users often find it easy to navigate between Views and have them apply to various dashboards, reports, and rightsizing recommendations. We were able to get the platform up and running quickly and add new credentials when we have new accounts that are created with ease.

We do not use any other Apptio products other than Cloudability today and therefore do not have a response to this particular question. However, I need to hit the character limit, we have not explored the other products yet but would consider it in the future of pricing and use case were met.
We found that Apptio Cloudability fit our use cases from reporting to dashboards from the visibility point of view. We really liked the Views functionality which made it easy to customize different business and account segments. We selected this because our users were familiar with the Apptio Cloudability platform and found the Apptio Cloudability team were very helpful to work with to get us up and running.
