New user review
What do you like best about the product?
Dashboard financials with multiple standard views/reports. Many ways to filter, drill etc. on your dashboard.
What do you dislike about the product?
Naming conventions of tiles "Cost transparencty" isn't overly intuitive. "Dashboard reporting" would be for example. Similar with other tiles.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Quick financials review, visually vs. excel, comparison to budget and forecasting, and a tool for entering budgets/forecasts, by the business owners or admins or both.

Apptio One is great for understanding the costs of IT, key drivers for financial performance versus the budget, and buidling robust IT forecast and budget plans.

It would be great to have more in depth and robust benchmarking vs industry verticals and geographic regions, and based on a larger set of companies.

ApptioOne - A reliable tool
What do you like best about the product?
AppltioOne is a tool which enables us to track our budget and forecast our budget for every department. It is very easy to use the charts and graphs that are set according to the filters applied and also customizable as per our requirement. Asset management can also be managed easily as it keeps the track of the all the assets like laptops, desktops and other devices. It enables us to track and analyze various cost drivers like software, hardware and other expenses.
What do you dislike about the product?
We have experienced that the new users find it difficult to navigate between the options. It has few limitations with regards to exporting which can be improved. Sometimes the performance also lags but that happens once in a while. Overall it fulfills our requirement.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps us in budgeting and forecasting in an efficient manner. It has helped us to mange current demand and plan for our future demands. It quickly reviews last month's spend, projects labor and non labor spends for upcoming months. It has helped us to bring our data together which in turn has allowed us to make the future decision in a better and effective manner. Very very easy to track assets.
ApptioOne is a Must Have for Budgeting and Forecasting
What do you like best about the product?
The most helpful part of ApptioOne is the IT Planning module where we build budgets and forecasts from the bottom-up. This module helps us showcase final budgets in a transparent manner so all leadership knows exactly what is/isn't in their final budgets.
What do you dislike about the product?
The least helpful part of ApptioOne is that sometimes the TBM Studio module gets slow and clunky even when there are not many items checked out in an environment. Our team refers to these slowdowns as "Apptio Afternoons" and has become a bit of a running joke when attempting to get in-depth modeling done.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
ApptioOne helped us to solve our budgeting and forecasting issues. We forecast once per month, which in turn rolls into our annual budgeting process. Many departments tend to add extra items during "budgeting" but we are slowly but surely making the necessary adjustments so budgeting is not as much of a bear.
Powerful platform to implement solid Technology Business Management processes
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to track and plan all types of costs for an enterprise. Implementing Technology Business Management (TBM), organizations can bridge the worlds of Finance, IT and Business, implementing effective processes under the ApptioOne umbrella.
What do you dislike about the product?
The danger of complexity, what we might call the "Peter Parker principle": with great power comes great responsibility.
You can implement very complex models and associated processes, however some of the support tools for TBM Analysts could be better.
In the latest release, Apptio developers have implemented a way to track dependencies between objects in the model, which will help us administrators.
