IBM Cloudability under the hood thoughts
Overall Satisfaction with IBM Cloudability
I use Cloudability as a FinOps lead or sme within my company, it enables me to pull Azure cost data and build some basic reports. The scope goes from using the product to build monthly cost reports to getting technical change recommendations
Pros
- ingestion
- ease of building reports
- functionality
Cons
- basic report template examples for FinOps
- usage data from azure for rightsizing purposes?
- be able to easily transfer into powerbi or Ms team
- value in being able to allocate cost to business units
- identify savings and cost avoidance opportunities
- reporting capability
until now it has helped with budget planning and forecasting for the coming years giving us breakdown into what we are spending on in azure and why, however we also need the usage data which doesn't seem to work in Cloudability, which is very disappointing
- None
I am unaware of other apptio products we are using
I personally think Cloudability is great, but sells themselves short in some areas of functionality, or it may have the functionality but it's difficult to fully realize it as there are so many filters and ways to build a reports, also can the dashboards be shared easily into power bi? I need to personally share reports to various stakeholders and would like to see easier transfer capability
