Best cloud virtual machine management platform
What do you like best about the product?
For me, the best functionality of Park My Cloud is the possibility of simply configuring your cloud instances to turn on or off according to an established schedule.
Another very good advantage of the platform is to manage your costs, giving very accurate forecasts of monthly expenses and analyzes of how to better manage your instances to reduce costs.

What do you dislike about the product?
It is a simple, very intuitive platform that delivers what it promises.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
When I created my account at Park My Cloud I was looking for a service that could manage my machines, I had a limited budget and couldn't keep my cloud instances running 24 hours a day. With park my cloud I was able to manage the time they would be on, reducing my cost.
In addition, I solved a problem that I didn't even know I had, Park My Cloud analyzed the use of my VMs and noticed that they are oversized, with this analysis I migrated to a cheaper VM.

I am not really able to get any point for now .

Earns its keep
What do you like best about the product?
ParkMyCloud helps my team drastically reduce AWS EC2 costs through smart scheduling and rightsizing. The ROI is tremendous and helps us focus our team's efforts on cost savings (vs tedious metrics gathering).
What do you dislike about the product?
ParkMyCloud comes with default roles such as Team Lead, Team Member, etc. Only Team Leads (and above) can make rightsizing decisions. It would be nice to have more granular permissions so the ability to rightsize could be granted without the other permissions of a Team Lead (e.g. team/account/group management).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
AWS EC2 cost savings through scheduling and rightsizing.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take advantage of the trial offer (14 days free) to see if you will benefit. Evaluate the expected ROI and try the core features. Then buy it.
Hidden Savings
What do you like best about the product?
PMC works seemlessly across cloud platforms providing valuable insights into lost, hidden, and incorrectly sized resources.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish insights into more cloud microservices were available.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Saving time by having my staff work on other tasks besides being resource cops.
Improving application performance by sizing run time services in alignment with their performance history.
Litterly cutting my cloud spend by 25%

Recommendations to others considering the product:
This is one of those tools that just works and works as advertised
excellent product
What do you like best about the product?
gives users ability to control costs by powering down their machines when not in use.
What do you dislike about the product?
sometimes i wish my company would utilize some of the extra functionality it provides that we currently dont.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Cost savings is the biggest.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
A must to consider if cost savings is important.
Easy to implement and use.
What do you like best about the product?
Turbonomic has identified areas for saving money on our deployed cloud instances and on prem to save on our IT budget.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's more difficult than it should be to disable the automatic reparation of some functions we want to use if an object or group of items is omitted from review.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
For our virtual network, we have used Turbonomic to postpone purchasing hardware by recovering unused reserved power that would otherwise be wasted. We also have used Turbonomic to position our workloads automatically in order to maintain our workload output under high production pressure or during batch processing.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Let the built in automation work to help performance and resource utilization.
Time and cost-saving tool!!!
What do you like best about the product?
Simple administration of the servers with an agile time management for automation of start and shutdown of servers which saves money!!! The user interface is very user-friendly and the support forum is very helpfull.
What do you dislike about the product?
For the time management, a kind of global and individuell vacation calendar would be very helpful to save more money for our costumers.
In Germany, there are relatively many holidays, so it would be much easier to handle them in general to save our time and money of our costumers.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Easily start and shut down the servers without having to create own scripts! Manage multiple costumers in one dashboard without to loose overview. These are just some of the reasons why we have come to appreciate pakmycloud
Useful tool to track VM's and VMH resources
What do you like best about the product?
This system pulls data from the VCenter's its connected with and monitors the health and resources of each VM, the hosts and storage as well as the hardware resources including our converged infrastructure and make and can automatically apply those changes if desired.
What do you dislike about the product?
At this time I am happy with the system in what it monitors. No issues with it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Managing storage performance and balancing capacity and potential need for more resources.
We have some very large high demand SQL servers that consume as much as 24TB allocated to a single SQL server. Spreading that data demand across the LUNS and not hitting hotspots of performance is a challenge that Turbonomic keeps track of

Recommendations to others considering the product:
IT fit our needs to monitor individual VM systems for metrix of server health and performance. Tracks performance and does automated VMotion placement ot balance workload within the cluster's it watches. Makes recommendations of storage changes to balance performance and storage congestion.
Can analyze resources used on-prem servers to give a forecasted cost to a cloud instance.

Finds waste and gives that power back to the work loads that need it.
What do you like best about the product?
I love that it finds over provisioned items and right sizes them as well as the other direction, finding servers that need more power and giving it to them. All along making your clusters much more efficient, saving on cost, and improving performance.
What do you dislike about the product?
Just want it to exand into doing this for more PaaS environments in Azure.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Avoided costly upgrades in data center by rightsizing, now we have more than enough power for existing workloads and room for growth. it is also very good at spotting this in Azure as well, helping to reduce cloud costs. Planning tool helps decisions for what goes to cloud.
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.
