Overall Satisfaction with IBM Turbonomic

We use IBM Turbonomic to supervise and analyze the resources consumption of our Kubernetes clusters and cross that information with the information from VMware which is also monitored with IBM Turbonomic.
We have problems with pod's distribution among our worker nodes and this generates downtimes of the nodes and saturation on our VMware system.

Pros

  • Recommendations about limits and requests of pods
  • Distribution of pods
  • Capacity plans

Cons

  • Predictive capacity plans
  • Consume a lot of resources after a while
  • Improve the way its show the relations between workloads
  • It shows us the savings that maybe we don's see easily.
  • Optimize the performance of the current workloads.
  • Help us to make a plan based on the behavior of our workloads
Distribution of workloads among a Kubernetes cluster is one of the most valuable capabilities of IBM Turbonomic for us. Because it helps when the scheduler form the cluster itself can't do the job done.
And at the same time this improve the behavior of the applications optimizing the use of the resources.
See the correct distribution of my workloads across my kubernetes cluster and assign on a better way the limits and request that they need to run efficiently.

Did IBM Turbonomic live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of IBM Turbonomic go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy IBM Turbonomic again?

Yes

IBM Turbonomic suits better on plans "road to the cloud" because it shows you the savings that you can have with in different ways on this road. But when its for an On premise environment it doesn't show you that kind of savings for your environment. It works perfect but need to improve for On Premise environments
