Overall Satisfaction with IBM Cloudability

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Pros and Cons

Pros

synthetic tagging
rightsizing opps

Cons

The ability to discount AWS costs to match a customer's invoice from a cloud reseller. Custom business metrics are limited in their capability.
the ability to adjust rightsizing and all other screens to use a custom biz metric rather than default numbers.
advanced credentialing in gov environment is very manual.
the UI being dependent upon an API tool is a disappointment.

the requirement to use an API tool like Postman makes it very difficult for most people to use. Whereas, TBM studio is excel-based so it is familiar. Cloudability also renames fields from the CUR making traceability harder. Cloudability doesn't receive all fields from the CUR, leading to data fallout. The use of proprietary names creates confusion -- e.g, Tag (Value) vs Tag (Key) in dimension drop down.

Likelihood to Recommend

multi cloud environment being all shown on one screen is useful. seeing rightsizing opps across the environments and payer accounts is helpful. the ability to customize Cloudability would be nice. it is too rigid for someone who has experience with TBM Studio.
