Overall Satisfaction with IBM Cloudability

Today, we are using it for cost transparency and insights. It allows us to see resource costs across 3 Cloud Service Providers. We utilize business mappings deeply to create linkage to our internal business applications. It also allows use to see trending per account level and for new releases we are able to confirm our cost expectation.

Pros

  • Cost Transparency
  • Business Mappings
  • Reporting

Cons

  • Report sharing/anomaly to emails/slack, today the tool only allows subscriptions from users. Would like to be able to set up account point of contact subscriptions towards the account vending phase.
  • Very similar to what Apptio has done with KubeCost, would love to see more feature sets around shared services such as Network layer, being able to allocate by tags / cloudwatch metrics more out of the box.
  • Lot of our user feedback has been about dashboards, they are used to seeing the CSP dashboards and having trouble correlate the same information into Cloudabiilty for cross account view.
  • cost-effective on public cloud savings
  • improved visibility into the enterprise cloud spend
  • improved visibility into the troubleshooting "rouge" resources.
Integration with account vending, would like to see a more supported Terraform provider or organization level awareness, auto discovery. Emailing external groups instead of subscriptions so anomalies and alerts can be emailed to a group vs having customers subscribe to one individually.
  • IBM Apptio (formerly ApptioOne)

Did implementation of IBM Cloudability go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy IBM Cloudability again?

Yes

Tool is great for troubleshooting and after the fact reporting. Were looking to take this a step forward and get more "left" of the solution deployment. How can templates be used from account vending etc. Also still a bit confusing when to use cloudy rightsizing vs Turbonomic. Excited to see the CICD integrations coming.
