What you can do with Cloudability
Introduction
Apptio Cloudability optimizes cloud resources and translates bills and tags into insights to provide real-time clarity and accountability for consumption.
Once you have connected to your cloud service vendors to set up data ingestion, you can use the features in Cloudability to explore your resource usage and find savings.

Reports
Cloudability includes a selection of preconfigured reports. You can also create custom reports by editing the built-in reports or by creating one from scratch.
