Overall Satisfaction with Apptio Cloudability

As a centralized source of truth for spending, cost and usage to budget our cloud costs. The business problem is reducing cost and optimizing our current resources. The scope includes all departments and organization within AA that uses the cloud for their applications regardless of cloud provider.
  • Show usage for each product team as we tag them in our system
  • show where each resource can be optimized
  • provide widgets for individual users to filter and sort their data and create their own dashboard
  • Reports need to be readable across devices (mobile and desktop)
  • Kubernetes breakdown on rightsizing at the namespace level (namespace = application for our aks tenant teams)
  • Action integrated or automated (down to the namespace level for aks containers)
  • Visibility on cloud spend to make cloud service spending cost effective and make better cloud architectural decision up front
always room for improvement and understanding the dimensions and how you can slice/dice the dimensions and data is the mostly challenging
Total Cost and Cloudability allowed more visibility on budgeting variances and needs which will allow business to be more in tune with cloud cost and not surprised when budget season comes.
Kubecost was great for a Kubernetes platform team. Our individual teams only care about there resources and uses to determine their rightzing which Kubecost had a great rightsizing option. In my experience, I have not seen that with Apptio Cloudability product at AA yet.

Yes

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Apptio Cloudability again?

Sharing visibility of each individual team's costs and usage so teams can better budget is a great use for Apptio Cloudability. Less appropriate for our environment and resources not attached to our cloud spend.
