Overall Satisfaction with IBM Cloudability
We were analysing and evaluating FinOps tools and IBM Cloudability came as one of the most promising tools in the market. I have research what that tool is about and how it can be used to automate our cloud expenses. A lot of companies thinks that cloud is cheap but without governance it becomes more and more expensive.
Pros
- Cost analysis
- Triggers and alerts
Cons
- The UI can be improved
- Charging BU based on their cloud bill
- Cost Savings & Efficiency
- Improved Financial Accountability
- Better Forecasting & Budget Control
- None
End-to-End Cost Transparency
ApptioOne covers on-prem and IT spend, while Cloudability manages public cloud costs, and together they provide a holistic view of total IT investment.
This enables leadership to make fact-based tradeoff decisions between cloud vs. data center spend.
Improved Financial Governance
With consistent cost allocation models across products, organizations can enforce standardized chargeback/showback across the enterprise.
Helps finance, engineering, and business units align on the same “single source of truth.”
