Overall Satisfaction with Apptio Cloudability

- facilitate cost allocation and provide transparency to engineering and finance teams - leveraging view and business dimension to provide separation of concern - construct more business oriented metrics, based on cloud spending - multi cloud provider support is plus, in case of adoption of more providers - saving plans and ri reservation centrally managed and reviewed
  • multi cloud support
  • report and widget creation and composition
  • easy of setup
  • missing SSO role integration - must be finalized in app after login
  • tag-based restricted view does not permit access to container sections
  • resource inventory only for basic type of resources
  • CCoE centrally monitor usage and suggest big-picture saving proposal
  • Saving plan and resource inventory help reduce management effort
  • Teams talking ownership of their own cloud spend and optimizations
Platform it relatively to setup, in our case it was managed by only one person for a limited amount of time. Widget and dashboard creation is very straightforward and all the platform user can create their own to address their specific needs.
Interface is clean and clear in what to do to achieve a result, it is sufficient to do only a very brief introduction to get hands -on.
  • ApptioOne
Done just some very small test on ApptioOne product. It was mainly focused on do some small report and visualization just to try it out, but we found that for our use case it was not appropriate. We decided to go with native Cloudability feature, using reports and notification from there.
We found Anodot during our scouting phase, and they have competed during our POC phase to found which alternative would be fit our use cases and business requirements. Setup of Anodot was simple as much as Cloudability, but Cloudability overall UX and features available had a significative impact on our choice.

Great and usable tool, it provides lots of features and capabilities. Multi cloud provider support and all kind of grapgh and metric coverage make the solution a good fit for all who want to start creating their own cloud cost management platform. They also provide updates and rollout new features on a regular base.

Sometimes the features seems to be added in a very limited fashion, not including the overall platform (eg. tag-based restricted view can not provide access to containers sections).
