Overall Satisfaction with IBM Cloudability

We used IBM Cloudability features to integrate with TBM Studio(Apptio One) for seamless reporting. The use case is while we worked on Cloud total Cost Project to export Azure Cost data from Cloudability upload in TBM Studio and form various reporting for cost savings and analysis. This helps in analyzing greater savings and improves performance in reporting.

Pros

  • Tagging , Tags are very useful in defining where the cost is utilized
  • Rightsizing, Rightsizing determines how cost can be saved by having instance utilized as per the consumptions
  • Anomaly Detection helps to track if there are any anomaly in your cost which needs attention and can be used appropriately

Cons

  • Azure Cloud Resource Inventory feature shows latest 3 months data, it would be good to have around a year worth of data.
  • Email subscriptions to distribution list, it would be helpful to share to a group of contacts
  • Access to view and manage orphaned Users Dashboards
  • Cost Transparency
  • Operational efficiency
  • Cloud Financial Management
IBM Cloudability really helps to understand and navigate across all features with a very descriptive information on the top which again navigates to help center articles for users who needs more in depth detailed information.
