1. Add image widget support to cloudability dashboards: Based on your Cloudability dashboard work and the existing widget-centric dashboard model documented in your Cloudability Quick Reference version 3 (6-6-2025), dashboards currently focus on data-driven widgets and visualizations. An image widget would be a useful enhancement for dashboard usability and executive reporting. 2. Cascade login to support pages, I should not have to login to IBM to create a case when I'm logged into Cloudability. 3. Have the UI updated to include a feature for submitting enhancement requests.

Cloudability dashboards provide excellent financial analytics but could be significantly enhanced with richer business storytelling capabilities such as image widgets, rich text widgets, embedded content, and executive-summary components that prov...

In the rightsizing the policy only allows for 100 maximum results to assess to create an issue or incident.

By only allowing 100 maximum results, only 100 are tracked based on the one policy created. We have to have a issue/incident in order to get realized savings. Limiting to 100 requires lots of additional policies to be created and still limits to 1...

Please ensure we can retrieve commitment recommendations through the API (and into dashboards and ApptioBI reporting)

We want to create an overview of total commitment savings into a default report. It appears we can not get all recommendations. Documentation only mentions AWS. Also the right sizing recommendations can not be viewed in dasboards of ApptioBI. This...

Insight in commitment recommendations for business units

Currently commitment recommendations and portfolio can only be viewed if they are tied to a view that segregated by account. However business units are not always segregated by account or have multiple accounts. If you then want to view the portfo...

Align the memory utilisation metrics for both Linux and Windows instances

I was advised by the support team that Cloudability uses the "Memory % Committed Bytes In Use" metric to measure memory utilization for Windows instances, whereas the "mem_used_percent" metric is used for Linux instances. In our AWS environment, t...
