(1-4 of 4)Better, Cheaper, and Easier that's why
We use it as an integrated portion of our enterprise virtualization framework. VMTurbo Operations Manager is used primarily by the virtualization team within our organization. VMTurbo Operations Manager allows us to set thresholds on our environmental requirements. Using its technology we can have the system manage time / need based VM migration without using additional human resources. So during times where we have hot system utilization the application can manage, migrate VMs to maintain the health and viability of our VMware clusters better than VMware does.
- Host level health monitoring is done extremely well. After turning on the system for the first time we were able to level our VM utilization within minutes.
- Recommend placement of VMs within the environment by looking at the workload and determining if it will spike at similar times as another VM. It then keeps VMs with similar heavy workload times apart on separate hosts for best stability.
- Start and stop times for patching and best case migration during that period. This allows our patching administrators to not worry about workload performance during patching times.
- Best virtualized management dashboard of any we have used.
- Define a 4 week trend analysis for integrated patch cycle management.
- When VMware comes out with an update have a built in system stall to monitor for server upgrades.
- Business continuity failover and failback should be integrated into this product.
- Reporting Dashboards for Executive management should be easier to deploy
- VMTurbo Operations Manager had a nearly immediate positive impact on us. We found that it made better use of our VMware environment than we could produce manually. It migrated and redistributed over 800 VMs after looking at the characteristics of our environment which increased the health and decreased the hotspots we had occurring in our VMware environment.
- The reporting has been very helpful in sending positive factual information to our business leaders and application teams about our environment and their applications respectfully.
- VMware vRealize Operations
- Application Quality of Service where one app doesn't step on another
- Reporting for upper management
- Where do you put the newest application without impacting anything existing.
- We have been able to use this to integrate our ExtraHop solution information so we can monitor the east west traffic of a VM system to determine where an application is having a bottle neck.
- We have been able to use this to properly size a system before purchasing for a community hospital with legitimate numbers knowing we wanted to run Active Directory, File Services for 1800 users, NVR, and Unified communications on the stack.
- We used it to redesign our VMWare cluster environments moving us from 6 node clusters to larger 12 node clusters. Because the application manages the cluster so well we were able to expand the cluster count.
- More integration with Business continuity has allowed this to be an initiator of a Disaster Recovery failover.
- Documentation of our VMWare environment
- We are virtualizing our SQL Platforms from large clusters and when breaking Instances into 400+ individual servers VMTurbo will help us define the workload locations.
- VM Host and Cluster Management
- Application Health monitoring for workload performance is incredibly simple
- Deployment was really easy as well. Self discovery of the Hosts and the environment with just 1 credential added to the system.
- Disaster recovery fail back is tough without prestaging information which isn't easily found.
- Setting up the monitoring UI for the NOC could be easier
- Real-Time placement can get you if you are patching. Make sure you set your patch windows correctly!
VMTurbo Review
- Suggests if resources are not being efficiently and should be reduced wherever required.
- Takes action based on defined rules rather just reporting an alert.
- Effective Reporting.
- Doing good so far, I do not have anything that I can suggest at this moment.
- Help identifying and can utilize unused resources.
- Based on the defined VM templates we were able to see the snapshot of available capacity.
- Many of the servers resources under utilized and VMTurbo could report those to revoke unused resources and increase capacity
- Reporting is the key information provider for management and give high level view resources being used.
- Before VMTurbo, no reporting of Hardware infrastructure.
- Were able to use available resources efficiently
- Can manage many options from single console.
- Optimum usage of available resources.
- Will help defining IT strategies and IT budgeting.
- Can automate action to save unused resources.

VMTurbo with NFS
- Excellent VM reporting tool.
- VMTurbo Operations Manager proactively manages workload placement for virtual machines as well as storage.
- Helped us right-size serveral VMs that were over/under provisioned.
- Planning tool generated crazy results (provisioned 37 new hosts ), even after support ticket.
- Policy editor UI is not intuitive. It's difficult to set new policies.
- We moved from old legacy FiberChannel array to a Netapp using NFS for the data stores. With NFS we have similar machines grouped together, for better deduplication rates. VMTurbo has lost a lot of usefulness with this new array, as we no longer need to shuffle VMs between data stores.
- Improved effiency on existing host, so that the business could put off buying new hardware.
- Best thing about VMTurbo Operations Manager is that you can get basic monitoring for free.
- Support staff and customer experience managers are very helpful.
- Monitoring VMs performance.
- Balance workloads across host / datastores
- Automation of suggested changes is a real time saver
- Allowed us to utilize our existing hardware to the fullest extent possible
- Analysis tool for elimination of obvious issues and isolation of problems
- Ability to better dictate how infrastructure resources are allocated
- Unsure of future [use].
- Implemented in-house
- None, fairly painless process
- Support completed last upgrade for my organization with great enthusiasm.
- Online training
- Workload is a nice 30,000 foot overview of entire virtual environment.
- Dashboard has most important recommendations pointed out, and ready to make changes.
- Inventory page is nice view, can manage virtual environment from this single pane of glass.
- I found the policy editor to be difficult to set-up.
- Planning for additional host returns crazy results after trying to be as accurate as possible with variables.
Why you need VMTurbo to reduce costs and increase efficiency. 5 minutes is all you need.
- Balancing workloads across a cluster
- Future capacity planning
- Finding wasted resources with over provisioned workloads and reallocating those resources saving both time and money
- An easily deployable linux appliance with zero configuration makes setup a breeze
- Get recommendations within less than an hour about how to make your environment perform better
- Automated re-sizing and moving of the environment and watching out for potential problems is like having a virtual staff member monitor your datacenter 24x7
- Currently the two areas for improvement is a more aggressive approach with vmotions in a VDI environment to provide the best possible user experience. This was actually solved for me with a quick work around, however it is not in the base feature of the product. Support has to activate this for you.
- The other being is that re-sizing recommendations are not able to be based upon working hours of a day. So your exchange VM gets pounded from 6am to 6pm, but is likely not used much thereafter, VMTurbo makes it's recommendation over a 24 hour period not during time windows you can specify.
- The ROI on VMTurbo once it was fully automated had a payback in less than a month with the other allocated resources we were able to reclaim. It's simply not possible to have a staff member or two monitor workloads and bring your environment into an efficient means of operations with the thousands of data points with vSphere
