Overall Satisfaction with Apptio Cloudability

I help customers use Apptio Cloudability, I do not personally use it to solve issues that I personally have. The things we do are help customers with organizing their cloud costs so that they can do a showback or chargeback model. Other use cases are to clean up errors in the Cloud billing too, and find opportunities to save money using the cloud through optimization.

  • Multi-cloud reporting
  • Tagging Compliance and Management
I don't think that it's super usable to people who have bad eyesight. The fonts are very small across the various pages in the tool. The other issue is that it's not super usable for people that don't have direct training. If you haven't used the tool before, it is very hard to learn how to use on the fly, especially with how important views are to leveraging the tool correctly.
  • ApptioOne
Using ApptioOne to spread cloud costs like a Technical Support Manager, shared services, and other costs that are shared by multiple cost centers. That way FinOps teams don't have to eat that cost themselves, and instead can give those expenses to the teams using the services. Then with the modeling done in Apptio One, I help organizations visualize their costs in Apptio BI and ApptioOne reports.
Apptio Cloudability is more end user friendly than CloudZero. Specifically regarding organizing the cloud spend. CloudZero is designed more for someone who has more technical experience than a typical finance analyst has. Whereas Cloudability is more user friendly and straightforward in how to map costs appropriately.

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?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Apptio Cloudability again?

Yes

Apptio Cloudability is good for large enterprises where they need to bring all their payer accounts, linked accounts, subscriptions, etc into a singular view. It's not great if companies are already well organized and can use cloud native tools to solve their issues. I think Apptio Cloudability costs to much for smaller customers that really could use the help.
