Turbonomic

  • February 27, 2019

What do you like best about the product?
The wide range of things this product can do. From reporting on the performance of an environment, to automating the migration of VMs, to planning workload migrations, to planning deployments, the list goes on and on!
What do you dislike about the product?
When they upgraded to a new version, they dropped several built-in dashboards. Although you can still login to the old interface and access them, I'd like the dashboards to be available in the new version as well.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I keep finding new things that I can gather information for. From finding out when I'm going to need to add resources to an environment, to planning a workload migration from one datacenter to another, or even automating the vMotion of VMs to better balance a cluster. Great tool!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The best application to let automation control your critical virtual workload.

What do you like best about the product?
The lack of late night outage calls now that all of our systems resources are better allocated.
What do you dislike about the product?
I forget it's there and have not spent enough time with the Web UI.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The 2,000 VM's spread across our forty Cisco UCS servers now uniformly utilize 70% of available resources. Our two-man administration team no longer receive outage calls in the middle of the night. Our SLA's with our customers are now reasonably attained.

Must have for larger vSphere environment

What do you like best about the product?
Great resource management and optimazation for larger vsphere environments. Powerful and it can save you buying additional ESX hosts.
What do you dislike about the product?
rather complex and the html interface is not yet in par with the old flash interface.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
improved stability, performance and better resource management.
It also helped optimizing the usage of our ESX hosts.

What do you like best about the product?
The "hands off" approach: we set what we want Turbonomic to do with automation, and it just runs and does everything to optimize our environment.
What do you dislike about the product?
I am still not overly comfortable with the newer UI, and I also would prefer more reporting options.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Optimize our VMware environment and avoid performance issues with a lean staff. We've seen a lot of use with more intelligent load balancing other than just VMware DFS.

Turbonomic maximizes utilization; reduces waste

  • January 24, 2019

What do you like best about the product?
It prevents over and under provisioning of VM's automatically. It also helps in workload placement and storage optimization. In more than one case it located orphaned, and temporary files in our infrastructure that were consuming an excessive amount of space unnecessarily.
What do you dislike about the product?
The scheduler for actions that require reboots could be implemented better. Identifying the proper way to handle non disruptable and selectively disruptable workloads can be a challenge. Also, I think the VM targeting could be improved on . Writing queries to target VM's while very powerful, is not the most intuitive method of targeting resources.

While the product now does support cloud platform management, as of the time I wrote this, it only supports VM infrastructure in the cloud. We do not use this currently as we have chose to stick to service offerings only in the cloud and therefor we cannot yet benefit from the cloud and multi cloud offering.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We reduce wasteful spending and performance issues by automatically right sizing VM's and optimizing workload placement. This has allowed us to run a more efficient datacenter in many ways, from consumption, to new hardware purchases, to future hardware planning, to labor hours consumed not having many of the aspects managed manually.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would encourage getting additional training and implementation services. The value the Turbonomic team can provide on how to get the most out of the product is well worth the investment. In many cases they can offer additional assistance post implementation.

Amazing features and nice dashboard which gives a clear view on what is really happening.

What do you like best about the product?
The latest UI is cool especially for a 'cost view' but I personally like the classic view which gives me in depth of information with minimal number of clicks.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's bit difficult to create custom reports for a particular area where i have configured multiple sites spread across different countries. Though the support team gave idea but i was wondering i could have done that myself !
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Procuring new hardware with an eye on future work load predictions. Also helped to find wrongly allocated storage, vCPU and RAM.

What do you like best about the product?
The Dashboard is an easy to use window into your environment.

The user interface gets some getting used to. It looks like a web interface from a few years ago. Looks outdated and the font is small.

For the VSI environment, it helps us balance our resources between data centers.
