Cost transparency has transformed IT budgeting and now supports confident, data‑driven decisions
The best features that Apptio Costing offers include reducing the total cost of ownership associated with large applications in any organization while providing a business-centric view of technology with insights that help our IT organization unlock and shift resources. It understands any business unit expense from the app, product, or service down to the general ledger and allocates costs based on consumption metrics, enabling precise resource allocation and budget optimization. All the features of Apptio Costing are great and helpful, as it helps organizations classify, categorize, and consolidate IT spend, ensuring investments are directed to the highest value-add opportunities. In addition to the features, cost recovery, where Apptio Costing determines the proper billing amount from each business unit using business rules, and unit rate billing, where it exposes the drivers business units can use to mitigate cost and reinvest in high-value IT activities, also stand out.

Pros

"A specific outcome or metric resulting from using Apptio Costing is that it has enabled a great relationship between IT, finance, and the business units, giving the business units and the SSUs much better visibility into what their technology costs are, making decisions behind tech investments easier with the budgeting tool Apptio Costing provides."
"Apptio Costing is one of the best and a game changer in IT financial analysis tools."
"Apptio Costing gives comprehensive visibility into IT expenditures and excels in offering actionable insights that fuel cost optimization and enable me to make data-driven decisions easily."
"Apptio Costing has positively impacted my organization as this tool has been a true game-changer because the CFO of our organization trusts the budgets as he is able to see the details, avoiding arbitrary cuts to the budget and enabling us to repurpose staff from one department to another with a better handle on our vacancies against the budget."
"Hyperglance has helped us save on cost, improve efficiency, and reduce manual work while enabling real-time compliance checks with very good features."
"Hyperglance provides all these, but the configuration and use depend on your goals."
"At my organization, Hyperglance has positively impacted us by saving costs as it identified unused resources that we could delete, which saved us money."

"Hyperglance has improved our organization by giving us a single view of all resources across GovCloud, helping us quickly identify misconfigurations, maintain compliance, and reduce manual work that used to take hours."
"Hyperglance on the Up to 3,000 Resources Pay as You Go plan has improved our organization by giving us a much clearer visibility into our cloud infrastructure."
"Hyperglance: Up to 5000 Resources [Pay as you go] provided a visual representation of our cloud resources and usage, showing which EC2 instances were underutilized or overprovisioned, and recommended resizing the instances based on actual usage, which led to a reduction of 30% to 35% in cloud spending."
"The best features Hyperglance offers in my experience are real-time 3D visualization, FinOps and cost optimization, no-code automation, and unified cloud view."
 

Cons

"To improve Apptio Costing, a fixed asset data input needs to allow for more details such as quantities by line item, not by total amount, and I would appreciate access to more of our plans, as we have to achieve or purge prior monthly plans in order to keep the system running faster for our users."
"I think Apptio Costing could be improved, particularly the user interface."
"One way Apptio Costing can be improved is that data linking has been a limitation for any organization when integrating with other applications like Snowflake or ERP."
"Apptio Costing can be improved with more spend AI insights."
"From my perspective, Hyperglance can only improve its UI/UX design. They can improve their dashboard as well, as their dashboard has a lot of customization limits, so they can improve it."
"The learning curve can be a challenge for new users, which is something that can be improved."
"One area where Hyperglance could improve is performance speed when dealing with very large environments, as sometimes the visual maps take longer to load."
"The learning curve can be a challenge for new users, which is something that can be improved."
"Hyperglance could be costly for someone with simple infrastructure."
"Hyperglance can be improved by providing a less steep learning curve."
"The current limitations in Hyperglance: Up to 5000 Resources [Pay as you go] are heavily focused on cloud environments and may not offer the same visibility in hybrid infrastructure."
