Usability is an important factor for the entire process of implementation, configuration, and even for all business processes, and Turbonomic knows how to adapt its functions to each business environment; no training was necessary at the time of its implementation, not in another phase of processes Of configuration. My rating has to be 10 points because its usability is perfect in all its aspects.

always room for improvment. "Really Great automation software to integrate with you Virtual solutions to help manage hardware. Very Expensive" This is a very expensive solution but, if you can afford this it can help lower the number of staff members needed to manage your VMware solution. We found that the solution is very easy to install and right out of the gate you can see amazing data to help manage resources for your VM's

I have found the product to be very easy to work with and manage. Upgrades are performed through the web interface. This includes downloading the new file and applying the upgrade to the appliance. Overall, the interface and the various tabs are self explanatory. This was purchased as a replacement for vCenter Operations manager and it proven to have not only more functionality, but is easier to use and manage. The other advantage is that it works with multiple hypervisors as well as storage vendors making it a definite plus over other solutions when you have a heterogeneous environment.

I think VMTurbo works really well in our environment. We can see instantly if there are any issues woth our estate. And we can fix most of them from within the product. For most operations it is very simple to use. For more complex tasks a call to the support team is often required, But they are great and very knowledgeable and helpful

Excellent approach to larger VM organizational management. They have an very clean integrated dashboard that allows us to see everything in our environment and what that is doing in real-time. It works on multiple hyper-visors really well and integrates capacity planning on my local site as well as my cloud locations.

Issues with the planning tool that support was unable to resolve. Needed support assistance to set up policies. The rest of tools are pretty good and easy to use.
