Cloudabilty is the best feature in that I can share different budgets with people and that visualization can be very details and informative. I can analyse multiple cloud (AWS, GCP, Azure) projects in a single dashboard.

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...
