Time Saver
What do you like best about the product?
Turbonomic has been a great step in making my life easier. Turbo has not just been a notifier of a problem, but it takes step to help prevent those problems before they have a chance to occur.
What do you dislike about the product?
Turbonomic has been great for us, so if I had to come up with a dislike, it would be lack of reporting customization.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Work load balancing, utilization monitoring
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Turbonomic has been a great time saving utility for us. Turbo is not just a monitoring tool telling you of an issue, it takes steps to fix the issue before it is a problem that impacts end users.

Saves Me Money!
What do you like best about the product?
I run algorithmic trading apps on AWS EC2 instances. I don't need them running on weekends, but I often forget to shut them down in a timely manner. A conversely, spin them back up Sunday night. This tool takes care of both of these.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have no problems with the software. I have had no issues to report.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It shuts down and restarts my servers exactly when I need them.
Turbonomic have good capacity planning and work load migrations.
What do you like best about the product?
Turbonomic have good capacity planning and work load migrations. and auto right sizing
What do you dislike about the product?
Automate right sizing feature not able to utilze in the production ,
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
capacity re balancing, Optimize the capacity.
Simplicity for Automation.
What do you like best about the product?
I like the fact we can easily use see the difference of old automation and just looking and seeing a mostly if not perfectly balanced cluster between cpu/memory.
What do you dislike about the product?
The largest dislike I have is that the support bundles are very large. For someone with a slow connection it can take a long time to upload the logs. Not really an issue with Turbo, more an issue with me having stone age internet. :) Turbo has said they are working on fixing things to be maybe ability to target specific support logs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Automation is a big problem. Turbo has better balanced both our Storage and our Hosts.
I also use the storage automation for reclaiming arrays. We can easily setup a rule to evacuate luns that are being lifecycled and let Turbo move the data onto the new storage.

Turbonomics Ability To Scale Up And Down On Demand Allows For Maximum Cost Efficiency
What do you like best about the product?
Turbonomic provides insight and recommendations into our Azure cloud configurations designed to allow optimum efficiency and cost. By analyzing the load on demand, the product can sense when more resources are needed as well as when resources are being wasted.
In the first month, we ran this as a POC. It saved us over 5k a month in costs by implementing its recommendations. The product continues to save us money but constantly updating its pricing files from Azure with current promotions and regional costs.

What do you dislike about the product?
More Azure features are needed. They started with AWS and are now ramping up Azure features.
We would like to see more visibility into reserved instances in Azure.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Its ability to scale up and down on demand allows for maximum cost efficiency. By dynamically analyzing our loads, the product can sense if resources need to be adjusted. It can also tell if another configuration of the same power would be cheaper in another region.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure you do a POC first so you can see the benefits this product will bring.
Great product, its almost set and forget
What do you like best about the product?
I personally like the fact that once you have your rules defined you really don't have to do any thing else with it, its automation handles the majority of your needs on its own. The fact that it isn't threshold based also adds great flexibility as it guarantees the optimal usage across everything available.
What do you dislike about the product?
My only detractor is the lack of custom reporting that is available in the current version. They are supposed to be adding that feature back in in a future version.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Over allocation and continual right sizing needs of virtual machines. We have allowed Turbonomic to handle all sizing using its automation so when we have requests we simply tell folks that its handled objectively will size as appropriate. It has cut our workload in this area by 95%
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Just put it in and give it a try in read-only mode and see what it recommends. You would be surprised what feedback you get from it within 30 minutes
Next-level workload automation
What do you like best about the product?
The ability for Turbonomic to constantly monitor both on-prem and off-prem workloads to assure performance and optimize our infrastructure and costs is great. While we are still rolling out the automation, the benefits already gained are great!
What do you dislike about the product?
There are several key data points that we have needed to download or export into a spreadsheet but the UI is very limited in that regard. There are a few widgets that allow for exporting the data to csv or xls but not nearly enough. Also, the reports are pretty basic and not very easy to work with.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
So far we have used Turbonomic to better balance our infrastructure by automating workload placements. We have also automated scale up/down actions for a couple non-prod environments. We are also using Turbo to run capacity plans and migrate to cloud plans.
ParkmyCloud - Great Tool for Public Cloud Consumption Control
What do you like best about the product?
Parkmycloud is a great product to help control costs in the cloud. Setup is relatively easy, and it is light years ahead of anything Microsoft provides natively in Azure. Everyone has servers they do not use consistently, and Parkmycloud will help you reduce costs by resting resources not in use.
What do you dislike about the product?
We have found the reporting capabilities could be improved.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using this to park servers that are not used on the weekends. So far we have saved ~$4,000 a month in Azure costs.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Think about your turn on schedule. Do not turn all servers back on at once, stagger them according to a prerequisite schedule.
Why we love Turbonomic
What do you like best about the product?
The best feature of Turbonomic is workload automation. Using this we are able to automate rightsizing of production workloads. This works immediately for on-premise workloads and can be scheduled for out of hour for Cloud and disruptive resizes (resize down on-premise for example).
Additionally, the ability to plan workload migrations between on premise locations or to public cloud is extremely useful to ensure the success of migrations and clearly visualise costs associated with that activity.

What do you dislike about the product?
Scheduling of workloads in public cloud requires additional effort over and above that for on premise workloads and could be made simpler.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Initially we reduced physical on-premise infrastructure with our first deployment with produced an ROI within 3 months of deployment. As we matured with the deployment and invested in a public cloud use cases we were able to make significant savings (more than £200,000 per year) on our cloud running costs using the workload resizing capabilities of Turbonomic.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Run a POC in your environment as the tool will show results within 24-48 hours of setup which will most likely provide all the evidence you need of its value.
Does a fine job, much simpler than vROps
What do you like best about the product?
Set it and forget it. Ok we're not cooking a turkey, but this product doesn't require a lot of attention to do its job.
What do you dislike about the product?
Placement automation using Turbonomic conflicts with StorageDRS even on minimal settings, but I need StorageDRS on to have a datastore cluster object. They don't play completely nicely together.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Automation, it's like having an extra set of hands to handle resizing for you. The planning tools are very good too, we used it to determine what equipment to buy when upgrading our datacenter.
