Overall Satisfaction with ApptioOne

We use the product for both budgeting and forecasting. Our actuals are loaded into the system as well from Oracle. I work in IT Finance so the product is used to track the finances for our IT Department. The product has given us a lot of versatility over the programs we were previously using. It has allowed us to better track expenses and variances at a better level. We us it to track expenses by vendor and by employee something that would have been very difficult to do in the past. It also produces excellent data reports to show to our business partners to help them understand what is occurring in the areas they manage.

Pros

  • reporting
  • variance analysis
  • vendor analysis
  • employee analysis

Cons

  • copy and paste ability isn't that great
  • freezing issues when filtering data
  • menus could be more user friendly (sometime hard to find things)
We use the report quite frequently in both budgeting and forecasting. The ability is there to create many different types of reports and dashboards based on the data that is in the system. These features are used by Finance during our budgeting, forecasting and monthly close processes. We also use the reporting to convey the information to our business partners as well.
  • improved reporting
  • improved productivity
  • improved visibility
We have consultants assisting us so I have not had exposure to the support team personally. That being said, I have not heard any issues from our team about the customer support team.
  • Cloudability
  • Targetprocess
Currently not using either of these other Apptio products.
Oracle Cloud EPM is also used by my company and we used it as our primary budgeting and forecasting tool before Apptio was implemented. Apptio is much more versatile to use. It's easier to get the information you need how you need it. I couldn't imaging going back to exclusively using Oracle.

Apptio is well suited for budgeting and forecasting uses. It is much more versatile to use than Excel. It works great at tracking vendor spend and employee spend as well. Some of the pain points we do encounter with it are getting the actual data loaded into the system and some of the freezing-up issues when filtering data.
