Overall Satisfaction with IBM Cloudability

We use IBM Cloudability for all our cloud financial management our use cases include, Exec. Dashboards, identifying runaway costs ,cost leakage analysis, cloud usage & consumption, Invoice validations and cost optimisation & recommendations and ROI reporting.

Pros

  • The reports extracted from cldy provides Ease of analysis for any cost breakdown analysis (cost & usage)
  • Self service feat. For end users in terms of dashboards and reports have made some of our stakeholders to get more cost aware on cloud spend.
  • Accountability did go up wit couple of stakeholders when we started educating them sharing dashboards about the cost consumption.

Cons

  • Introduce Font color codes in dashboards.
  • Introduce more visualisations
  • Increase the business dimensions cap in the reports from 10 - 15
  • Introduce some more widgets n metrics for containers
  • We leverage IBM Cloudability for all our cost optimisation opportunities that has resulted in meeting our KPIs for costs savings/avoidance. Approx.cldy has helped saving few hundred thousand dollars this year already.
  • None
Every cfm tool has its pros & cons. However, i feel cldy is getting more matured and evolved post ibm acquisition with turbnomics coming in to the game.

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

Firstly, IBM Cloudability is a multi cld financial management tool and suitable to any customers who are multi cloud and want to have a view of their cloud spend on single pane of glass. It is less suitable for S/M customers when hosted on single cloud and less cloud spend.
