IBM Cloudability Reviews & Product Details

What I like most about IBM Cloudability is the visibility it provides into cloud costs and usage across accounts, services, and teams. It makes it easier to identify cost drivers, track spending trends, and connect cloud usage with business or team ownership. The dashboards and reporting are particularly useful for FinOps and management reviews, while the ability to analyze optimization opportunities helps us make more informed decisions about cloud resources and ROI.

The main limitation is that Cloudability can take some time to configure and tailor to your organization, especially around cost allocation, tagging, and account structures. Some reports and dashboards can also require additional customization to match specific internal requirements. For teams managing complex or rapidly changing cloud environments, it would be helpful to have more straightforward configuration and more granular, real-time insights without relying heavily on customization.

What I like best about IBM Cloudability is that it gives me a clearer view of cloud spending. As a network administrator, that helps me connect infrastructure usage with costs and gives me useful information to discuss with other teams. I also appreciate being able to review the cost data in one place instead of piecing it together from different sources. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One thing I’d like to improve is how easy it is for new users to find and understand the information they need. Some reports and settings can take time to learn, so a simpler interface and clearer guidance would make it easier to get started. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cloud cost visibility

Shows where money is being spent by cloud, account, application, team, project, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Complex setup: Getting accurate cost allocation across accounts, subscriptions, tags, teams, and applications can take significant effort Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I value the ability to maintain a cloud-agnostic repository for cloud cost and usage data, and I’m also looking forward to the new features and reports being introduced for AI cost and usage. I also love the new enhanced forecast as well as the commitments recommendations and details. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When reprocessing older data, it’s hard to maintain two separate sessions without one of them choking. Rightsizing data (for example, choosing the right instance type) also feels a bit dated or inaccurate. On top of that, not being able to view logs for troubleshooting data connections makes getting those set up a pain sometimes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most is the visibility it provides into cloud spending. It makes it easier to track where the money is going, understand usage patterns, and identify areas where we can optimize costs. The reporting and dashboards are also useful for presenting cost information to different teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The learning curve can be a little steep at first, especially when exploring the different reports and cost-management features. It also takes some time to get everything configured and aligned with your organization’s cloud environment. Once set up, though, it becomes easier to work with.

I like the cost. I think cloud generally costs less to operate, and doing analysis in the cloud instead of using physical resources makes it less costly. As a multicloud management solution, IBM Cloudability gives us choices and options, and I think it’s competitive in the field. I also like the optimization and automation features supported by AI; IBM’s AI integration makes it a viable option for us. The integration works well and is easy to configure.

I haven't found anything that doesn't work well so far, but scalability and the cost associated with it are concerns for the future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We copy the data in cloud so that in case of a disaster data is readily available and we can restore it wherever we want. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have nothing to say except that it is compatible with the IBM storage only, in case if we have IBM z and we use Dell or some other storage it won't be compatible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that IBM Cloudability puts all of our cloud providers in one place, so I don’t have to go to different billing portals for that information. I like the reporting function and the different breakouts I can use with cloud insights. I use the reports for our finance team, and I like being able to export to Excel and manipulate the data as needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is easy to forget with my finance background that engineers don't speak the same language. I love that Cloudability allows for the reporting of both financial and usage metrics so we can introduce the engineers to the finance side. I also appreciate how everything I need the engineers to look at and consider resides in one tool and also allows for self-service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Having two reporting surfaces gets confusing for end users Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the clean user interface and the ability to dissect the data in multiple ways. Mostly the ease of use for a new user and being able to easily train new users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Coming from a TBM Studio background, I would prefer the ability to configure more of the tools and back end. However, I understand the limitations given but in the past few years, there has been improvements in this area. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
