Effective for Planning but Needs Interface Improvements
Reviewed on Nov 12, 2025
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
I like the standardization provided by IBM Apptio for each forecast, which enhances comparability and version control. This feature is particularly beneficial as it allows for consistent planning and forecasting across different scenarios, making it easier to align and compare financial outcomes. The ability to handle financial information efficiently and hold accountability by cost center owners is another aspect I appreciate, as it enables a clearer understanding of financial responsibilities and projections. These elements together contribute to more structured and transparent financial management.
What do you dislike about the product?
I find the user interface of IBM Apptio not nimble, making it less responsive and somewhat cumbersome to navigate. The process to load and validate actual data into IBM Apptio is notably time-consuming, taking about 1.5 hours, which can be quite inefficient. Also, I believe the addition of an AI feature that helps analyze information would be incredibly beneficial, as it is currently lacking in this aspect, potentially limiting the depth of insights I can derive quickly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use IBM Apptio for consolidating IT financial projections, ensuring accountability by cost center owners, and comparing various plans, improving our financial planning and forecasting.
