Overall Satisfaction with Apptio Cloudability

We use it currently to increase visibility and help coordinate costs to help us understand our usages across multiple departments who never had insight into this information. Our costs began to spiral out of control and now we have an understanding of drivers and trends. I was recently able to identify a spike in costs on one resource that we met on as a group and developed a strategy to save a good chunk of money on a monthly basis.
  • Visualizes the trends.
  • Notifications via email to keep us aware of activities.
  • Helps us forecast better.
  • The modeling is a bit difficult to navigate as a new user in my opinion.
  • Improved visibility for all involved users.
  • Allowed for transparency and conversation around cloud usage and best options.
  • Saved us money due to a variance alert.
It was a bit difficult to get up and running for me personally as I was brought in late and didn't get a lot of training during implementation. There are some confusing areas of the reporting in my experience, but overall it is a positive product.
  • ApptioOne
It has actually been significantly difficult in my experience as I have been tasked at managing both in our organization, so I am Apptio Cloudability Admin and TBMA for our department trying to roll this out to users of both and help develop a TBM Office as well as a CCOE just seems like it should be discouraged to the buyers of the product.
I have not used any other products.

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

Not sure

Are you happy with Apptio Cloudability's feature set?

Yes

Did Apptio Cloudability live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Apptio Cloudability go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Apptio Cloudability again?

Yes

I think the best value that it offers is visibility for many different user types as opposed to the native tools the products offer that are limited to the engineering teams generally. I think it is appropriate if you have multiple cloud providers as well as it puts everything in the same format for easier reviews.
