Cloud cost management software
These are just a few examples of IT resource optimization solutions.
Apptio Cloudability
Apptio Cloudability is a cloud financial management solution that helps companies monitor, manage, and right-size cloud expense across any size business. The platform offers teams full visibility into cloud costs so they can reduce waste, optimize for efficiency, and bring solutions to market faster. Our enterprise-scale analytics engine delivers real-time spend data and powerful recommendations that are easy for anyone to use.
Cloudability’s Optimization Platform features include:
- EC2 Reserved Instances (RI) purchase recommendations

Atlassian went through an intense period of growth and its cloud infrastructure became increasingly complex. This meant maintaining optimal RI coverage at scale was a key challenge. To maximize RI coverage, Atlassian adopted the Cloudability Platform to create a "waterline" of when RI coverage becomes high enough to yield significant savings. Atlassian took a goal of 90% coverage on their aggregated RIs. They used this waterline report to achieve savings as their cloud usage scaled.
The power of setting your usage rate in Cloudability is that you are in control of the recommendations Cloudability provides. This includes setting the trigger point on which you purchase RIs for your Amazon EC2 instances. We use this feature to validate the RI purchases Atlassian makes. This assists Atlassian in maintaining an RI utilization at or above 90% so we achieve great savings.

Siemens’ Railigent Application Suite helps rail transportation companies optimize their infrastructure and assets through proactive monitoring and data analysis. A security breach at Railigent would increase clients’ maintenance costs and cause delays or reduced train availability. CloudCheckr streamlined Railigent’s security protocols, ensuring developers can easily identify the most urgent security issues, and reduced cloud costs by up to 20%.
As soon as it’s set up, you have immediately all the CloudCheckr security recommendations. The cool thing is it gives you a checklist, and this is combined with reporting functionality, and you can prioritize security problems and say yes, we definitely need to work on this problem first. This is exactly what we did, and that helped us to improve the overall security of our ecosystem.
