Automates cloud operations, including monitoring, consolidating dashboards, and reporting
What is our primary use case?
How has it helped my organization?
It can consolidate and amalgamate all the efforts. Before using it, we had multiple reports, tools, and sources of information that we needed to consolidate. With IBM Turbonomic, we can operate everything in a single console and view everything in a unified way. This allows us to address key performance issues and spending concerns that we identify, optimizing our operations to work better for our customers and us.
What is most valuable?
The overall price, the dashboards, and the FinOps capabilities are important features. The ability to manage all the budgets is also crucial.
What needs improvement?
The implementation could be enhanced.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using IBM Turbonomic as an integrator for the past year.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
50 users are using this solution. As an integrator, we're constantly looking for new logs and trying to make some of our customers for whom we do not provide cloud services part of that new ecosystem.
How was the initial setup?
Initially, it can be tricky as you have to configure everything. The setup requires a significant level of effort. If there were a way to migrate or import some features or have some preconfigured settings, it would greatly help with the initial setup. It takes three to four months as per standard operation.
We have engineers who are certified in the tools. We have a couple of product managers, but the main source of disruption, or at least delays, is the integration and dependency on other areas. For example, if we want to integrate the CMDB with the monitoring tools we already have in place for each of our different customers, it requires time and dependencies not only on the availability of people but also on the ability to make changes to the environments.
What was our ROI?
The ROI is very good. Although it's expensive, you can fully implement the recommendations from the various tools and dashboards and easily recover the investment within the first year.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
It offers different scenarios. It provides more capabilities than many other tools available. Typically, its price is set as a percentage of the consumption of some of our customers' services. The cost will vary depending on the specific scenario, but it is not cheap.
What other advice do I have?
You can easily maintain it once you get into a stable mode with IBM Turbonomic. The operations team that adopted the tool is getting a lot of value from it, making it easier for them to manage and consolidate their work. It doesn't ramp up your AppDV or resource needs but helps improve and optimize them. We are using fewer people now.
It has a lot of capabilities. We haven't encountered any scalability issues. The way we have implemented it has helped us easily incorporate new customer sets.
There weren't many people with the skills to implement and manage IBM Turbonomic, so we had to develop the team's expertise. However, once we overcame that hurdle, managing it became easier.
Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.
Highly efficient to save resources
What do you like best about the product?
IBM Turbonomic helps save us tons of cloud resources using its AI technology. It helps us in reduced costs.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's quite complex to set up for a small project. Not suitable to small solutions/products that are intended for a small group of users otherwise it may be expensive and not worth it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
IBM Turbonomic uses AI tools and help monitor cloud resources in a much better way helping manage computes and cost cutting. It helps us very much in cost cutting.
