Overall Satisfaction with IBM Cloudability
As head of the FinOps practice, I leverage IBM Cloudability on a daily basis for reporting, trending, optimization actions, and sharing the reporting with the organization. IBM Cloudability being able to provide a combined dashboard view across all three could vendors is a big advantage of the tool vs. having to stitch together various reports from the three cloud vendors, most of which are in different formats and taxonomies.
Pros
- Crosses all 3 cloud vendors
- Numerous base Dashboards and Reports
- Easily configurable for custom dashboards and reports with base IBM Cloudability data
Cons
- More customizable in the visuals
- Use data sets across IBM Cloudability and TBM studio interchangeably (Datalink data can't be used in IBM Cloudability)
- Tab level role level security
- Exports from visuals with large number of rows fails to download (just gives errors)
- TBM studio is a different customization language then IBM Cloudability and wish TBM build upon IBM Cloudability vs having to rebuild IBM Cloudability dashboards and reports into Apptio BI.
- Visibility for FinOps Group which is shared with our global stakeholders
- Reporting for inventories and trends
- Optimization recommendations for Rightsizing
- IBM Apptio (formerly ApptioOne)
Good but don't feel as integrated as should be, feel like Apptio and Apptio BI are two different reporting platforms with two different report building skillsets.
