Overall Satisfaction with IBM Turbonomic

We use Turbonomic to map out our network. We use it at times to troubleshoot our fiber connection that has a fiber loop to our 2 off site locations.
We are very happy the way it handles new devices. We are a Ruckus shop with less than 55 nodes for the network.

Pros

  • Maps out the network into a PDF.
  • Troubleshooting remotly
  • highlight changes to the the network,

Cons

  • more switch brands
  • Reduce the price
  • keeping the price pretty much the same.
  • no enhancements to speak of from IBM
  • support is still support not much change

Do you think IBM Turbonomic delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with IBM Turbonomic's feature set?

Yes

Did IBM Turbonomic live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of IBM Turbonomic go as expected?

No

Would you buy IBM Turbonomic again?

Yes

we use it to do troubleshooting when a leg of our network goes down.
use it to determin which stack and which switch in the stack has the port that is dead.
we also use it whan the nertwork went and broke the fiber loop that handled the path #2.

Turbonomic Support

because it seems that when I call in I get someone that doesn't seem to understand it is hard being a person with hard of hearing. they try but hearing isssues and a support person with a heavy accent i catch about maybe 2-3 words. IBM should work on that issue.

Using Turbonomic

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
