Find out what your peers are saying about IBM, Microsoft, VMware and others in Cloud Cost Management."The most valuable feature of AWS Savings Plans is we can discuss budgets briefly during our confirmation process since we are aware of our usual consumption patterns. Creating budgets in this regard would be beneficial, as it would allow us to consume only what we need, without including reserve instances that do not serve our purpose."
"The initial setup is very easy."
"The tool helps us to resize on AWS correctly."
"The pricing isn't too expensive."
"The sizing recommendation will look, and say, "You are only using this at 80%," then recommend a better fit for you."
"Transparency and visibility are the key features."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its ability to create reports and dashboards."
"The most crucial feature in reducing my cloud costs has been the rightsizing recommendations, along with the dashboards that track reserved instance spending coverage and utilization. As for Cloudability's integration with our existing cloud infrastructure, it's not integrated directly into our AWS infrastructure but rather reads and pulls data from it, providing valuable insights and analysis for cost management."
"The support from IBM is fantastic"
"One of the standout features of the solution is its groups and views functionality. The solution is highly-stable. The solution is highly-scalable. The customer support is good. They can be easily contacted. The initial setup is straightforward. It's an excellent tool, especially when dealing with multiple clouds. It streamlines the process, eliminating the need to check each cloud individually."
"In the future, it would be interesting if there could be a combination of Savings Plans and some Reserved Servers."
"The visibility of AWS Savings Plans could improve."
"Right now, what we're doing is we are manually putting the data in it, which is something which we don't like about Cloudability."
"The API is not well-documented. It is not straightforward and difficult to use. This needs to be improved, as it is very difficult for our developers to develop automation around it."
"Cloudability needs to focus on more cloud providers."
"They can improve the custom range of the network."
"We would like them to have a linear regression, so we can be predictive for budgets, allocations, and the year's follow ups. We also want to have a longer window of analytics with better certainty that our workload will fit the model, not just in a two week window."
"The dashboard needs to include more graphs per team to show what individual teams are spending in a given time period."
"I would like the API functionality to improve. The update time after uploading data could also be improved."
"In general, I feel Cloudability wasn't able to support many resources."
