Find out what your peers are saying about IBM, Microsoft, VMware and others in Cloud Cost Management."The tool helps us to resize on AWS correctly."
"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."
"Each user can have their own dashboard that they want to consume. Instead of having to share one dashboard for multiple users, you can create individual views for each user to view, and that view will contain only their own accounts, which allows for separation of data."
"The pricing isn't too expensive."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its ability to create reports and dashboards."
"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."
"It has already given us insight into how to optimize. So, we are now ramping up steadily its usage."
"The tool helps us to monitor the services provided to customers as a cloud provider. The product is a monitoring solution that helps customers pay for their utilization of services."
"I like the integration with other applications or vendors."
"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 way the dashboard works with the main orchestrator to combine different types of cloud providers is helpful."
"The most valuable feature is that it allows us to compare the billing between the clouds."
"The product provides excellent daily reports."
"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."
"There is always room for improvement in education and training. We are not that mature in terms of our automation. It could help us identify where we could optimize in terms of build."
"Cloudability needs to improve on data collection from cloud sources."
"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."
"We have dealt with a few technical support people where we ask for one thing and they might not deliver straightaway. It seems like they are a stretched across multiple customers."
"They can improve the custom range of the network."
"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."
"I wish there was a feature to temporarily remove certain recommendations from the list for teams that couldn't implement them immediately. I believe Cloudability could improve its automation functionality and enhance cost allocation modeling."
"There are some kinks to resolve with the Web GUI user interface, as it freezes at times."
"I would like it if they could provide their customers with more qualified support."
"The knowledge base is not available for the engineers, which is something that needs to be improved."
"If you haven't established a vSphere cluster and you only have a single server to integrate, you can't deploy any service."
"The pricing model is complicated and would be more predictable if it were simplified."
"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."
"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."
