Overall Satisfaction with IBM Turbonomic

IBM Turbonomic is basically an ARM automation tool to monitor if the purchased resources are overprovisioning or underutilized and to monitor cost across hybrid and multi cloud environments.

Our organization is moving from a centralized network to de centralized zones and each zones have there own cloud service providers and few on Hybrid as well. Using the IBM Turbonomic tool we monitor and optimize the performance of cloud devices and monitor the cost as the AI tool automatically allocates/Deallocates the resources

Pros

  • Cost optimization
  • Application performance as resources is allocated depending upon the demand/Traffic
  • Real time monitoring to improve operational efficiency.

Cons

  • Initial Set up and configuration
  • License cost
  • Does not integrate well with other monitoring tools
  • Positive impact on our ROI as the cost significantly decreased
  • Manual monitoring is not needed as the resources are allocated depending upon the traffic
  • Prevented downtime of our applications by dynamically assigning resources.
The most valuable capabilities of the IBM Turbonomic I would say is the capability to dynamically assign the resources on demand irrespective of cloud provider which reduces the underutilized resources and reduces the cost significantly.
We had to manually monitor the resources and allocate resources depending upon the need which used to decrease the performance of our applications.
using IBM Turbonomic has saved us a significant amount of money and manual monitoring of resources as IT team qute often allocates more resources to avoid performance issues which leads to not utilized cloud spend

IBM Turbonomic is well suited for organizations which has deployed multiple resources under different cloud infrastructures as the AI functionality automatically scales up/Down the resources and keeps the cost to minimum.
