Improved financial transparency has driven data-based decisions and optimized IT service costs
Apptio Costing offers exceptional reporting features that are second to none, showing companies what data to collect and how to go about creating and collecting consistent data, providing visibility into the IT department unlike any other software, and always improving and getting better. The reporting feature is second to none. The standard out-of-the-box reporting shows incredible insights and gives the information executives need to make the correct decisions easily. Service costing is another valuable feature. If you have to buy any module, this will be it. Comprehensive bottom-up service cost analysis and reporting is excellent. Apptio Costing has positively impacted my organization in every way. It has been beneficial to each and every customer, and its relatively quick implementation process saves time. The savings that are provided by finding unnecessary servers, expensive storage, or even phone bills that are not being utilized but paid for is incredible. Employees can make better decisions based on facts and not on assumptions about the unknown benefit of the IT department. Our IT department is now treated as an asset to the business and not just an expense. Our company can now make better technical investments and also increase productivity by a larger margin. Specific outcomes and metrics include an improvement in productivity from 40 to 55 percent improvement. Cost reduction has been significant, where we have reduced cost from 45 to 25 percent.

Reliable mobile platform has delivered accurate retirement data and reduces incident rates
The best feature Kubernetes Everywhere offers is the reliability feature, which mostly impresses me. What makes the reliability stand out for me is uptime and error handling; also, as I mentioned previously, it's providing reliable data, which is very important for us in TIAA because it is the retirement data that we serve, and we do not want to provide anything incorrect to our participants. As this is a 100-year-old company, we want to make sure our participants are given the accurate information, reliable information that they deserve. Kubernetes Everywhere has impacted my organization positively by being reliable as well as providing accurate data, maintaining the uptime, which is very important, and making sure we deliver the accurate data that is required by our participants. I have seen specific outcomes, with incidents having definitely reduced drastically from what it was a few years back; so certainly, I can see there is more than 25 to 50% reduction in the incidents since adopting Kubernetes Everywhere.

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."
"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."
"I think there is still room for improvement because, in my opinion, the ITP, IT Planning interface is a bit clunky."
"Apptio Costing could be improved in calculating quantity versus entering the total amount."

"The user interface should be more intuitive and user-friendly, especially for new learners to adapt more quickly."
"Due to poor planning of the application developers and resource management, I have seen crashes, downtimes, and performance issues."
"Kubernetes Everywhere can be improved if it had more convenient commands, which would make it easier for me to remember all the commands in GCP for Kubernetes."
"Deploying Kubernetes Everywhere infrastructure is somewhat difficult because there are many components that need to be deployed."
"At this time, I may not have any improvement suggestions; I want to explore more, so the features currently provided satisfy me, but if there is anything Kubernetes Everywhere can share with modernization, that would be great."
"I can think of an improvement for Kubernetes Everywhere in that it should be easier to use from a developer's perspective, as it involves a lot of infrastructure numbers and DevOps."
