"Cloudability - Our route to financial understanding in Cloud"
5/5
What do you like best about IBM Cloudability?

The ability to be able to pull in data from multiple Cloud vendors and review the entire spend in one location simply cannot be underestimated. Using Cloud Financial Planning daily gives us the ability to work more closely with the business to directly recognise, validate and manage our cloud spend. The ability to split this down in a business focussed way that meets our requirement and financial requirement, makes this a go to product. As a cloud based product it was easy to integrate within our existing environment. Having resource alligned to us to help when things have been challenging has also been hugely beneficial. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IBM Cloudability?

The move for reporting to BI has not been the most straight forward and as the product is constantly being updated and upgraded sometimes you can feel a little overwelmed by new functionality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Cloudability for enhanced visibility and data flow"
4/5
What do you like best about IBM Cloudability?

After implementing Cloudability our cloud billing has become much faster to publish, we have relied on the flexibility provided to assist us with other task such as tag controls, annual license true up, using API to export data to some of our in-house tools and many more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IBM Cloudability?

After the initial IBM M&A the product updates have been a little bit chaotic (we are waiting on some features previously announced, but not yet delivered e.g. user grouping for access controls), but I am definitely seeing that this is ramping up and I am positive that great further updates will come.
