Overall Satisfaction with IBM Cloudability

Pros

  • Anomaly Detection / Unexpected Cost Spikes
  • Commitment-Based Discounts, Reserved Instances, Savings Plans
  • Rightsizing Recommendations
  • Budgets, Forecasts & Financial Planning

Cons

  • User Interface & Usability (Navigation and report customization can be complex or unintuitive)
  • API & Automation (API documentation is sometimes viewed as not detailed or consistent enough, which complicates automation.)
  • Exporting, Custom Reporting & Drill-through (When extracting data for deep analysis (e.g. for machine learning, auditing, for internal dashboards), some exports are less usable: missing metadata, limited filtering, or loss of visual structure)
  • Direct Cost Savings (By acting on Cloudability’s rightsizing and idle resource recommendations, we reduced wasted spend across development and test environments.)
  • Improved Financial Planning & Forecasting (Finance and engineering now work from a single source of truth for cloud spend.)
  • Faster Decision-Making (Leadership has clear visibility into total cloud program spend across 1000+ accounts.)
Overall, Cloudability is highly usable and user-friendly, allowing teams to adopt it quickly and gain actionable insights, which justifies a high rating of 9 out of 10. The only reason it’s not a 10 is due to minor complexity in advanced features and occasional reporting limitations.
