Make it possible to report 30-day savings amounts for each ROI ticket.

Right now the savings amount that is reported per ticket is either 10-day or 30-day and there is no way to change this. As a result, I have a total savings number with a mix of both time periods, making it impossible to know how much is being save...

Provide more details on the Apptio help center

Rightsizing in Cloudability (apptio.com) Currently the apptio help center doesn't include a comprehensive explaination on idle resource, such as the how to define S3 idle percentage, which will affect the user experience.

Improve the way Azure Disk recommendations are displayed in Cloudability Optimize | Rightsizing

Request for Policy limit Increase and Consolidation Option

We are unable to create a new policy for rightsizing because we have reached the policy limit target (30 policies). we have multiple Line of Business (LOBs), and each LOB requires three policies-one for each service: Compute, Disk, and SQL. We kin...

Rightsizing ROI Widget totals based on 30/10 days, on-demand/effective

The current widget totals displaying the potential savings and realized savings show add up 10-days and 30-day timeline amounts. However the ticket is created this is how the potential and realized savings are displayed. Thus the total figures are...
