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

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
