IBM Cloudability Manufacturing Reviews & Insights

Multi-Account / Multi-Cloud Cost Visibility. Without a single pane of glass, it’s hard to reconcile spend. Budgeting & Forecasting Cloudability provides forecasting models, anomaly detection, and budget tracking, enabling proactive course correction.

IBM Cloudability helps us to consolidate our cloud spend in one place and allows us to use a single pane of glass to analyze our costs, detect anomalies, and create reporting for our stakeholders.

IBM Cloudability is well suited for helping our organization increase our visibility of the cost of our cloud environments; breaking down those costs to align with owners; and building visualizations to tell the story of what is happening in our cloud environment.

From IT Finance perspective, IBM Cloudability is used to give finance analysts and leaders visibility into current and historical cloud spend at the app level. This allows our team to present trends to leaders for activities such as budget presentations, and work with IT counterparts to re-forecast application spend each month.

Well suited for organizations with cloud hosting spend that require visibility into this spend for many user groups.

We use cloudability mainly to achieve 2 purposes:
1. Resource level cost
2. Business area level cost

very helpful tool to watch resource level cost as well as for cost saving recommendations

I use Apptio Cloudability to chargeback / showback and cuds purchasing suggestions. Now also use as a self service tool for business areas to see their usage

I have been using Apptio Cloudability for establishing our FinOps practice.

Apptio Cloudability is well suited for normalizing data and reporting for multi-cloud environments.

We use Apptio Cloudability to actively manage our cloud spend across hundreds of applications. This involves identifying opportunities to reduce or optimize our spend along with holding users actively accountable through a charge back model.

Apptio Cloudability, is a powerful tool and its use case is expanding rapidly with the growing investment within Apptio BI and now the IBM acquisition. It can handle large amounts of data and it provides great levels of customization for how users can interact with the data. Apptio Cloudability, however, does lack in it's dynamic use cases where users might want to actively drill into visualizations or filter the dashboard content. If you are simply looking for data reports it is able to provide great data at fast speeds.

We use Apptio Cloudability to provide business with transparency on IT costs, identify cost pools, allocate IT spend and generate insights for business decisions. Recently we have been able to build matrix that provides with costs distribution across multiple regions that helps drive stretegic decisions on IT ops. A key benefit was achieved while building App rationalization frames as well.

Suited for enterprises that need an additional layer of spend visibility for cloud components. Usually within large organizations that have lost control somehow of IT spend. If you use well-known cloud solutions like Microsoft Azure or AWS, Apptio Cloudability can help provide insights on what is being used where, for how much and with what value.

Understand unit costs of resources and applications in the cloud. Monthly project and showback for costs. Cost optimization opportunity and tracking savings from optimization.

Good for establishing showback/chargeback model. Good for understanding where tagging can be improved.

We use Apptio to manage our corporate SG&A and cogs spend in the CTO corporate organization

Great for budgeting and forecasting, software contracts, and professional fees spend
