"Cloudability, One of the best Cloud Cost Governance Tool"
4.5/5
What do you like best about IBM Cloudability?

The best thing about CLDY is to get the Anomaly spend detection which is a great feature to get aware about the excessive spend/day by setting a limit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IBM Cloudability?

Would have been great to add a feature to link EBS & Snapshots with EC2 when cost of EC2 instance gets generated Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"One stop shop for your cloud economist"
4/5
What do you like best about IBM Cloudability?

The most helpful for it being providing support for multi cloud environments, it shows way more details then the AWS recommendations,and has a very user friendly interface, integration with AWS and GCP environments is quite seamless. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IBM Cloudability?

Would be amazing if it can integrate with the data center as well so that there is one stop shop for all costs vs looking at multiple interfaces. Would also like to see Apptio giving more and more customization capability to the end users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Cloud Cost Management Solutions Need to evolve to cover non-cloud costs"
2.5/5
What do you like best about IBM Cloudability?

Aption allowed me to report on and identify wasted cloud spend in multiple clouds. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IBM Cloudability?

At the time Aptio didn't allow me to bring in non-cloud saas and paas spend. For example, competitors allow me to report on my monitoring costs, my cdn costs, my software licensing costs, etc which also need reporting an optimization. See Vantage and Finout for example.

"Detailed Cost Savings Report and Dashboard"
4/5
What do you like best about IBM Cloudability?

While applications move rapidly to the cloud, the general trade-off is to reach productivity and availability cheaply. Cloudability helps quantify the enterprise spend on cloud and smoothes the communication of cloud financial management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IBM Cloudability?

The tool provides complicated recommendations that can confuse and derail new users from picking the right recommendation. Widgets are difficult to understand and can take a good chunk of time exploring. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Review"
4/5
What do you like best about IBM Cloudability?

Easy to create dashboards and support for new products Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IBM Cloudability?

API could use some work. Names of items are not the same in APIs. For instance, a business mapping in cloudability might be called a "Super cool item," but in the APIs, it might be called "map3". The unique ID makes sense in case the name is changed but it would be nice to have this ID seen on the business map to find it faster. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Apptio cloudability in my opinion"
4.5/5
What do you like best about IBM Cloudability?

Apptio has easy and simple integration with AWS, NewRelic, K8s etc., it is very simle and easy to integrate and use the data. Also, the Business Mapping feature is very helpful since we have multipl cost tags, cost center tags and mapping this to a product/business is easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IBM Cloudability?

The cloudability UI could get better in my opinion. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
