We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"One of the standout features of the solution is its groups and views functionality. The solution is highly-stable. The solution is highly-scalable. The customer support is good. They can be easily contacted. The initial setup is straightforward. It's an excellent tool, especially when dealing with multiple clouds. It streamlines the process, eliminating the need to check each cloud individually.""The tool helps us to resize on AWS correctly.""The sizing recommendation will look, and say, "You are only using this at 80%," then recommend a better fit for you.""Transparency and visibility are the key features.""Each user can have their own dashboard that they want to consume. Instead of having to share one dashboard for multiple users, you can create individual views for each user to view, and that view will contain only their own accounts, which allows for separation of data.""It has already given us insight into how to optimize. So, we are now ramping up steadily its usage.""It provides us visibility, then we can turn around and can give the leadership team more information, which we could not previously give them.""We use the product to get a detailed level of transparency on the cloud strengths."

"The solution is useful for cloud transparency and visibility in reports and dashboards that I have generated, especially the pre-populated dashboards.""The pricing is rather competitive right now.""We use dashboards quite heavily, but one of the features that have really stood out is some of the policies we've created to alert us of particular situations.""This solution is fast and very easy to understand, even if you are not a technician.""The product is easy to use in terms of monitoring all the environments. It works for multiple clouds.""We are able to create an internal price of the product that we can then sell to clients. We get the cost plan at a good discount and then resell it with a mark up to our enterprise-level clients. This flexibility in pricing is one of the solution's best features.""The solution is good for cloud cost management.""It's stable. For report presentation, it's been fast."

Cons
"Cloudability needs to focus on more cloud providers.""We would like them to have a linear regression, so we can be predictive for budgets, allocations, and the year's follow ups. We also want to have a longer window of analytics with better certainty that our workload will fit the model, not just in a two week window.""I would like the API functionality to improve. The update time after uploading data could also be improved.""In general, I feel Cloudability wasn't able to support many resources.""The dashboard needs to include more graphs per team to show what individual teams are spending in a given time period.""The API is not well-documented. It is not straightforward and difficult to use. This needs to be improved, as it is very difficult for our developers to develop automation around it.""There is always room for improvement in education and training. We are not that mature in terms of our automation. It could help us identify where we could optimize in terms of build.""Right now, what we're doing is we are manually putting the data in it, which is something which we don't like about Cloudability."

More Cloudability Cons →

"It would be helpful to have a mobile version or a tablet version, especially for people who are outside of the office.""The export features regarding CSV files and specifically around identifying savings plans have room for improvement, as well as the drill-down features for reservation utilization.""The Perspectives feature could be better.""CloudHealth needs to start building out Turbonomics-types of features that help the customers who are using CloudHealth really understand everything down to the server level, the virtual machine level.""I would like to see better integration from CloudHealth to create easier setup and implementation.""If you are working with the OS you need help and other connectors to get more information.""The performance and accuracy of Cloud Health need to be improved.""The solution doesn't offer the best functionality, unfortunately. Some features just simply aren't on offer. The solution needs to offer more product milestones."
