Uma ferramenta fantástica de visibilidade de recursos
What do you like best about the product?
What I like most about Turbonomics is the ease with which we can visualize bottlenecks in certain groupings or even forgotten resources that generate costs. We can automate actions based on specific events in the environment. We can easily delegate to Project Managers the management of the tool's views in a segregated and secure manner.
What do you dislike about the product?
I believe we should have visibility modules in network management and security management with best practices and compliance. And I really miss a tool for analyzing resources versus revenue or accounts payable.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The visibility over resources was the most impactful feature; we were able to have a real-time view of the usage and create savings strategies, whether through correct sizing or even by turning entire environments on and off.
The best tool to visualize the use of infrastructure resources
What do you like best about the product?
The intuitive way of making all infrastructure resources available through tree visualization and the possibility of seeing performance gains through resizing resources
What do you dislike about the product?
Not being able to directly see the final sum of the financial gains from resizing resources in a summarized way (when taking more than one action simultaneously)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Being more productive with the cost killing and more efficient management of infrastructure resources,especially knowing the best types of virtual machines
Very Nice
What do you like best about the product?
Flexibilite in custo reduction and resilience with workload to able nice experience at company. I like with it`s working and offers possibilites for resolv your company.
What do you dislike about the product?
i didin`t find issue for to say dislike but one point is about the price of license for workload and this can be limited your workload and to be a issue for your company.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
very important resolv about some features and license for vcpu or machine. its very important for company about de cost to new workload and infrastructure. but i like this.
ARM Turbonomic is Excellent to Work with Clouds
What do you like best about the product?
For sure i honestly like the recommendations about our workloads and services (Virtual Machines, Kubernets, Unattached Disks) and we have a lot of things to do in AKS, EKS and GKE, that we doesn't know if we haven't Turbonomic
The FinOps Team use Turbonomic to work and reductions too, like resize of DB's, VMs, and Clusters
What do you dislike about the product?
Sincerely we don't have a "bad" or "miss" thing in Turbonomic, that ARM are amazing to work, gave us money, and a good infrastructure, of course that we have a lot of work to do yet, but, until now, Turbonomic has impressioned all people that work with me positively
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We had problems about save money in clouds, like CUDs, saving plans, cheap instances, performance, and all that problems we can solve with Turbonomic, principaly money saving, we work with 3 clouds, and we installed that ARM in 3, we save a lot of money, and solve problems about perfomance and number of instances too, maybe, in the next year, we can amplie our infrastructure because we solve this problems!
Turbonomic optimizes insight into costs and performance
What do you like best about the product?
Insights into real cost savings, performance, application bottlenecks that we can only see through turbonomics. The ease of viewing by type of workload, kubernetes, virtual machines, etc.
What do you dislike about the product?
Turbonomic is very unstable, apparently it does not support large data loads, I had many kubeturbo synchronization problems and slowness in generating dashboards.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Turbonomic solved problems in calibrating container deployments, request and limit recommendations, moving pods between nodes, the tool solves these problems with excellence.
A product that has become an essential part
What do you like best about the product?
Turbonomic ensures that our clusters are intelligently balanced and that virtual machines and containers are correctly allocated resources. Once integrated with our APM tool, it adds to the analysis of the environment.
What do you dislike about the product?
For now, I dislike nothing about Turbonomic
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Achieved 11% improvement in node density and Drove 70% reduction in tickets
IBM Turbonomic improves and optimizes your organization
What do you like best about the product?
IBM Turbonomic optimizes and facilitates the efficient use of resources within organizations, helping to reduce costs and improving application performance. Resilience and security is increased from the first moment the tool is implemented, promoting the intelligent use of infrastructures. The productivity of our employees is increased since the automation of tasks reduces the workload within the operational processes.
What do you dislike about the product?
Being a fairly complex solution it can be difficult to configure, however it is worth it as it is such a powerful tool for resource utilization and process improvement. It should be verified beforehand if it is compatible with your process structure since it is not compatible with all of them. It requires qualified personnel that can operate the tool due to the complexity of the tool, promoting perhaps an extra expense in training within the employees.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
IBM Turbonomic is an excellent tool that promotes the optimization and automation of the infrastructure of our operational processes and data collection, helping companies to optimize software and hardware resources and allows the minimization of costs, in addition to providing constant monitoring and real-time alerts. The tool allows cost savings within the infrastructure of processes within the company, with its automation reduces human personnel costs that allow investment in other sections, increases productivity and profitability of the company through the constant improvement of applications and tasks.
It shows you what you should do, but it can also act on recommendations automatically
What is our primary use case?
Turbonomics helps us understand resource usage and enables us to make decisions about how to utilize those resources. For example, let's say you check your monthly water bill and see that it's up 25 percent, but you don't know why. It keeps going like that until you check your toilet and find that the seal is slightly broken.
Every now and then, a tool will keep running when you're not using it. Turbonomics will identify when the toilet is running and fix it for you, so your bill goes up. It automatically makes the adjustments.
How has it helped my organization?
Our organization uses cloud-based infrastructure, so everything is metered. You're wasting money if you have a system running but you're not using it. Turbonomic can take that system offline or suspend it. It can also adjust resources so that they're optimal for a particular workload. It gives you visibility and also takes action automatically.
Turbonomic offers a single platform for optimizing complex, mixed environments. With APM integration, it can tell you how each application is performing and rationalize the resources to ensure the optimal configuration for performance, so there's no waste. It will make those adjustments for you based on application trends. It covers the complete stack all the way up from your UI down to your core host machine if you're running on a VM or the physical machine if you're running on a device. It tries to ensure consistency and hasn't caused any additional overhead on my applications.
The automation features are helpful because engineers no longer need to focus on fixing issues. They can spend their time on innovation and more important things. Right now, a lot of the work is still being done manually. When I get alerts, I send a staff member to make adjustments, but I can't do that in real time. It might take days or weeks to address a ticket. The meter is constantly running while we're waiting to fix that so that money is going down the drain.
It's hard to quantify how much time we save using Turbonomic, but it's around 20 percent. I only do analysis and remediation on maybe Tuesday and Thursday. It's not about the time that I waste; it's about the time and cost we can recover. I no longer need to wait until Tuesday. If something happens on the weekend, the tool can fix it on Sunday. It does save time, but the bigger aspect is cost savings.
The core expense of our setup is cloud costs, so cloud management is a huge piece of our financial operations. We're constantly looking at cloud spending and ways to make that more efficient.
What is most valuable?
I like Turbonomic's automation and AI machine learning features. It shows you what it can do, but it can also act on recommendations automatically. Integration with an APM system makes the AI/ML features truly effective. Understanding what the application is doing and the trends of application behavior can help you make real-world decisions and act on that information.
What needs improvement?
We're still evaluating the solution, so I don't know enough about what I don't know. They've done a lot over the years. I used Turbonomics six or seven years ago before IBM bought them. They've matured a lot since then.
For how long have I used the solution?
We've been evaluating Turbonomic for the last few months.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Turbonomic is highly scalable.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
In addition to Turbonomic, we have a tool called Apptio Cloudability that gives you a report on what you spent that month. I have to go back and identify what is going on. Turbonomic identifies the issue, records it, and fixes it with no manual intervention. We also used the native cloud solutions provided by Amazon or Google, but they weren't as effective as Turbonomics.
How was the initial setup?
Turbonomic is fairly easy to deploy. The product is highly intuitive from a deployment standpoint. We worked with a consultant from the vendor. The deployment team consisted of five or six people.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
We evaluated and purchased Apptio Cloudability. Turbonomics offered an opportunity to reduce the costs of our physical environment, but it's also part of our cloud journey. The cloud capabilities were a significant factor for us.
What other advice do I have?
I rate Turbonomic nine out of 10. It goes into a lot of detail about what you know and your opportunities, but there's always room to improve.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
Public Cloud
If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?
Turbonomic review
What do you like best about the product?
The use interface is so easy and intuitive and it is faster in showing the performance metrics, graphs and also it is easy to drill down to the problem areas of the application
What do you dislike about the product?
The setup of connectors can be organized and classified according the application so that it is to go and change any attributes as such. also enable features via mobile apps
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am exploring this product for huge e-commerce set up and I think this is going to be great when all application servers micro services are monitored centrally
