Pros
"Its most significant value lies in its ease of use which extends to both configuration and the subsequent deployment of additional components.""The TBM model and the out-of-the-box reporting are the most valuable features of Apptio One.""With Apptio One, the advantage lies in its no-code approach, eliminating the need to write scripts for data retrieval."

More Apptio One Pros →

"I like the integration with other applications or vendors.""The most valuable feature is that it has a very easy and adaptive look and feel, compared with some other cloud solutions.""The flexibility is the product's most valuable feature.""This solution has made us aware that we are over-provisioning our virtual machines.""It doesn't take long to develop an automation blueprint. You need about half an hour, and then you can install or deploy it on several systems. That was our first great advantage in the project because we urgently needed to deploy across many different systems.""The most valuable feature is the metering capability.""The most valuable feature is that it allows us to compare the billing between the clouds.""The product provides excellent daily reports."

Cons
"However, a notable challenge is the requirement to obtain consistent raw data, especially when operating in multiple regions with varying data sets. Each region may have distinct field names or data setups, necessitating the standardization of data before loading it into Apptio One. In Apptio One, there are areas for improvement, particularly in addressing potential bugs. An instance of this is observed when transitioning changes from the development region to the staging or production region. In instances with larger datasets, the calculation process may experience delays. Once the calculation concludes, the process proceeds to the subsequent region, whether it be staging or production.""The solution's reporting layer, advanced conditional formatting, and reporting features could be improved.""Encouraging or providing more out-of-the-box solutions that cater to a wider audience could enhance the overall effectiveness of the application."

More Apptio One Cons →

"I would like to have an easy way of modifying the reference data that is used for the purposes of estimating the total billing.""The knowledge base is not available for the engineers, which is something that needs to be improved.""I would like it if they could provide their customers with more qualified support.""The solution's private cloud is much too expensive.""It would be a good idea for VMware to be compatible with the most popular orchestration tools in the market.""If you haven't established a vSphere cluster and you only have a single server to integrate, you can't deploy any service.""It's not always easy to find the information you need. You must have a lot of technical experience to find the right location for what you're implementing within the program.""Better integration with other VMware toolsets would be beneficial."
