Overall Satisfaction with IBM Cloudability

Optimize cloud costs - IBM Cloudability helped our organization to optimize cloud cost at various levels. The rightsizing recommendations, business mapping etc., brought more clarity on cloud spend and how efficiently we can save cost. With IBM Cloudability, we are able to smartly allocate cost, define budgets and generate usage vs allocation reports etc.,

Pros

  • Cost allocation
  • Budgets
  • Rightsizing recommendation

Cons

  • Improve cloud account integration process
  • Add more services in IBM Cloudability automation
  • Sorting fields in reports
  • Saving ~20% of cloud spend
  • Rightsizing, helped to optimize the compute cost by ~30%
- Scoring 9 due to user management and RBAC. It is tedious to manage RBACs since there are managed groups which are not aligned with organization structure.

Would you buy IBM Cloudability again?

Yes

- It is well suited to get the recommendations in "Rightsizing". The best part is, you can create an issue and assign this to a teammate to work on.
- If you have a multi-tenant product and not able to manage the cloud cost, Business mapping helps you to map the cost based on tags like BUs, Cost centers and you can utilize this mapping to filter the required cost. This comes in handy when there is a shared cost involved.
