We use Apptio Cloudability in our bank to better manage the cost of our IT infrastructure on the cloud across multiple cloud providers. It helps us to choose best options for the deployment of our infrastructure in terms of Speed, cost, and quality. Different teams (Finance, Devops) collaborate together to understand the findings from this and make the decision for future use cases.

  • Reporting
The User Interface is very friendly and easy to navigate. There is some high-level overview and then options to further deep dive. It is helpful for both a senior management person and an Engineer or a technical person to find insights. The console is very consistent in terms of the content and colors.
  • ApptioOne
You using these two products together enhances the benefits in terms of cost visibility and optimization and which makes it easier for organization to extend the functionality to other cloud providers and make data-driven decisions. Another useful thing is data integration using both of these tools together make it easier to consolidate and analyze information and remove manual intervention.
Apptio Cloudability provides many additional features as compared to Azure Cost Management, like multi-cloud support more advanced recommendations through it advanced AI algorithms, Custom reporting and in-depth Dashboards about billing.

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?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy IBM Cloudability again?

Yes

In my experience, Apptio Cloudability is best suited for a high-level overview of Cost reporting and management. It gives recommendations to optimize your cloud budget. For example, It will give recommendations by analyzing the past trends which types of machines an application should be using for its optimal performance. It also picks machines, and disks that are not used for long and it predicts any cost anomaly detection. It is less appropriate for other small cloud providers and user training.
