Overall Satisfaction with Turbonomic (formerly VMTurbo)
It is used for planning new vms and right sizing the current ones.
- Load balancing
- Planning
- Right sizing
- Planning - would like to build multiple projects on top of each other.
- Right sizing freeing resources
- Projection on whether we can fit new projects
We used it for placement over vmware as we found it did a better job due to it holding a longer history of spikes and usages.
- SolarWinds Application & Server Management
1000% better.
