Provide some user control over text/font scaling in widgets, and more flexibility in sizing & layout of widgets on the screen.

As an author of monthly and quarterly reports for senior management, a live presentation from Cloudability dashboards and reports is not a viable option.  Screenshots pasted into a PowerPoint deck (or equivalent) is the standard business process in most places.

The current layout rigidity and auto-scaling decisions by the dashboard widgets result in very poor readability in the resulting PowerPoint slides, which negates audience engagement and reduces the effectiveness of presentation.  Subscribing to a PDF email of the report suffers the same issues.

Allowing the Cloudability user to better tweak the layout for static presentation media will help "sell" the importance of FinOps and the power and importance of Apptio Cloudability as an enterprise tool.

We have in some cases resorted to downloading data via API or CSV export then built a report presentation in Microsoft PowerBI.  That's a lot of effort and overhead and expense.
