Overall Satisfaction with IBM Cloudability

It provides a clear breakdown of cloud spend across AWS, Azure, GCP, and IBM Cloud and also Easy to see which projects, teams, or services are driving costs and automated recommendations for rightsizing instances, shutting down unused resources and optimizing storage. You can track your cost on cloud it helps us to reduce cost and you can integrate with GitHub pull request and you can track of each package and it support multi cloud as well.

Pros

  • After implementing Cloudability our cloud billing has become much faster to publish, we have relied on the flexibility provided to assist us with other task such as tag controls, annual license true up, using API to export data to some of our in-house tools and many more.

Cons

  • After the initial IBM M&A the product updates have been a little bit chaotic (we are waiting on some features previously announced, but not yet delivered e.g. user grouping for access controls), but I am definitely seeing that this is ramping up and I am positive that great further updates will come
  • Customisable/Personalised dashboards to monitor and analyze cloud usage and costs
  • Business mappings and custom views for cost allocation and transparency for individual business units/regions.
  • Ad-hoc dashboard builds
Great insight into Cloud spend and cloud utilisation data. Cloudability has given us a platform to properly understand our cloud spend, how our cloud spend is trending and actions we can perform to optimize our cloud spend. It has empowered us to make metric based decisions and greater proactivity in addressing cloud usage before the big bill lands at the end of the month.
