Overall Satisfaction with IBM Cloudability

We use Cloudability for cost data management for our Azure cloud services. Product provides high visibility of the cloud costs as well we utilize the cost sharing feature for the cost allocation which is a cool feature. Also we use the rightsizing and optimisations features within Cloudability.

Pros

  • Apptio BI report features like drill down and linked reports even though performance is poor
  • Cost sharing feature
  • Rightsizing feature
  • Container insights

Cons

  • Apptio BI reporting performance can be improved
  • API availability for apptio BI reporting
  • NEW IBM Report studio having drill down and linked report features in place
  • New IBM Report Studio having dragging facility with ease
  • Cost sharing dimensions compatible with other business dimensions
  • Container dimensions like namespace available for cost sharing reports
  • Improved visibility across Azure Cloud & Containers
According to me its easy to navigate, but considering a new user who haven't; used Cloudability, first time would be bit hard.
These transparency and visibility helped us choose the right savings plan and reservation purchases
  • None
We use TBM STUDIO, Data Link , Apptio BI and Cloudability. Whenever we had issues which couldn't be done using Cloudability we always have a workaround using the TBM Studio projects with data link and now started exploring new Apptio Studio reporting as well.All these products are cool as a whole

Do you think IBM Cloudability delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with IBM Cloudability's feature set?

Yes

Did IBM Cloudability live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of IBM Cloudability go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy IBM Cloudability again?

Yes

IBM Cloudability will be the best tool for Cost transparency and optimisations for cloud costs but when it comes to FinOps for AI, its unable to map easily a specific team the costs as we get the overall token costs but not the API request came from which team or which team used more tokens kind of an information, so would be great , if there is such a feature where the tokens can be mapped to the right teams and instead of sharing across teams, if teams can pay the costs based on the tokens they used would be great.
