• Does very well at handling complex allocations and automation. Also great at bringing in data automatically, manipulating that data, and allowing you to feed that data into a complex model. So all the behind-the-scenes stuff works really well. It's also pretty good at visualization. It has some similar capabilities like a Power BI and Tableau, but generally provides most of the visualization technology that somebody would need with the tool.

• They send too many communication emails.
• Integration with other third-party systems.
• Client branding scope can be improved.

• The CCM module does not always calculate cloud RI usage correctly.
• Would like better functionality to switch between cloud usage metrics and cost data. Discount rate on cloud recently increased, resulting in lower cost, but with higher utilization.
• Continue investing in the CCM product, we like it, feels like we are being pushed to cloudability.

It is hands down the most innovative SaaS on the market today. In my humble opinion it will be just as big or bigger than Salesforce, Workday and all of the greats. I would advise any big company to take advantage of Apptio and renew on an annual basis with their support team!

We use this currently where I work and we have the consultant Maryville helping us with our Apptio reports and data. I originally used Apptio a few years back and since then I have switched employment, and I was able to talk to the leadership team about what we did at my previous job, and now we are building the reports here at my new place of employment

Excellent, so far. SaaS-based...assuming effective data links and connectivity

Excellent, so far.

I have not been directly involved with the post sales support team. However, that team has provided training materials and recommended practices that have been very helpful in coming up to speed on how to more fully use the product. My understanding from both vendor management and our upline stakeholders is that our relationship with Apptio is strong.

Was awesome to have been taught by legendary Debbie Hagan for Cost Transparency in person. Her knowledge is extensive and she is an excellent trainer. Her years of experience really shined.

The all talented training organization crosses all the T's and dots all the I's. I am constantly learning and often refer to training documentation for post training real life issues.

Well, so far. Apptio Consulting covered specific model architecting areas particularly. Most of the heavy lifting is being done in-house with support from Apptio as it relates to tool impacts and needs. Some administrative tasks were redundant

GoGenuity is providing all different types of solutions in one and also has great customer support for any queries or concerns with the best competitive pricing, whereas others had more features but those were not needed for our client.

I personally have not used or evaluated any other product similar to Apptio. I can say that this is a great service and we use it often and we are growing how we use it. We are planning on expanding the way we use this database. We are excited to hear about more of the apptio products/modules that would benefit our agency

• Time-saving, thus cost reductions
• The IT staff quickly resolves open issues and tickets, leaving nothing undone
• Cost savings because the client did not need to integrate multiple systems

Incentivized

• Has saved hours on time in comparing budget expenditures of departments to their actuals
• Has helped optimize the ability to analyze data and compare yearly financials
• However, does not decrease time in comparing budgets of different departments or agencies as can't view both side by side
