Overall Satisfaction with IBM Apptio

Currently we use it in a limited scope to get Cost Transparency into some of our largest capital projects.

Pros

  • Providing a common language for our business, tech, and finance teams
  • Customization
  • Reporting

Cons

  • UX/UI
  • Learning curve on the admin side
Could use a little work on the UX/UI
  • Positive impact on delivering cost transparency or a sub-ledger to our tech spend
Uses Apptio as a sub-ledger for accelerated analytics and reporting. Apptio is able to ingest large amounts of data from different sources. Easy timesheets for contingent labor would be important for my org.
Pretty good, but could use more help in proving the value and POC work vs pure sales.
  • IBM Cloudability
Huge for understanding cloud spend into Cost Transparency
