What do you like best about the product?
It provides a clear breakdown of cloud spend across AWS, Azure, GCP, and IBM Cloud and also Easy to see which projects, teams, or services are driving costs and automated recommendations for rightsizing instances, shutting down unused resources and optimizing storage
What do you dislike about the product?
What I dislike about IBM Cloudability is that while it offers powerful insights, the platform can feel a bit complex to navigate at first, especially when customizing reports or dashboards. Data updates sometimes lag behind real-time usage, and the initial setup requires time and expertise, making onboarding slightly challenging for new users.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
IBM Cloudability is helping solve the problem of managing and controlling rising cloud costs by giving clear visibility into spending across different cloud providers. It provides detailed insights and recommendations to optimize resources, prevent waste, and forecast budgets more accurately. This helps improve cost efficiency and supports better financial planning.

What do you like best about the product?
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.
What do you dislike about the product?
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.
