Overall Satisfaction with IBM Cloudability

Cloud consumption cost reporting and utilization, instance right sizing and anomaly alerting. Committed Use Discount and Reserved Instance planning and purchasing are in-scope, but currently can't buy from the tool so the consoles are used for this specific use case. Users include FinOps, TBMO, key application owners and executive council.

Pros

  • Dashboarding
  • Cost Reporting
  • Tag Data quality reporting
  • Spend anomaly alerting

Cons

  • Utilization metrics are limited, and no unit economic related metrics OOTB.
  • Functionality across all three providers. GCP lacks but is catching up.
  • Custom field creation requires complex automation to maintain at scale.
  • Greater alignment between FinOps and Application Teams
  • Improved Cloud costs as a component of App TCO
  • Provided leadership with Cloud costs by Application/Organization
Usability isn't the issue, but making the product unique to the user (via the Views) can be cumbersome due to Business Mapping creation limitations.
  • IBM Apptio (formerly ApptioOne)
Total TCO/Application TCO available to technology. Enabling profitability reporting and cost by business function.
