IBM Apptio Pros and Cons

The most helpful part of ApptioOne is the IT Planning module where we build budgets and forecasts from the bottom-up. This module helps us showcase final budgets in a transparent manner so all leadership knows exactly what is/isn't in their final budgets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The least helpful part of ApptioOne is that sometimes the TBM Studio module gets slow and clunky even when there are not many items checked out in an environment. Our team refers to these slowdowns as "Apptio Afternoons" and has become a bit of a running joke when attempting to get in-depth modeling done. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the the ease of use to integrate and configure large amounts of data. The reporting is streamlined. Allows multiple users to work simultaneously without issue.

I've noticed a recent improvement to performance and we always really appreciate apptio's support with the environemnt performance improvement reports, which provide configuration improvement suggestions to make performance better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

N/A. Look forward to integrating the new apex upgrade for reporting aesthetic improvements. I will do that when I have more time, as it will impact current reports and will require some rearrangement and work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like the ease of use from a developer and end user perspective, along with all the features such as editable tables and drills. The product makes it easy to combine operational data with financial data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really wish visually it was better, I think it's better than most products but with the new development interface it looks like that will be fixed. I also wish there was more statistical functions like standard deviation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It does not play well with other tools. When stakeholders want to ingest only raw data for their own Power BI Dashboards, it is not an easy solution. Secondly, I would like the tool to be able to handle much larger row counts to accomodate very large corporations like mine. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
