Overall Satisfaction with Turbonomic (formerly VMTurbo)
Turbonomic allows us to optimize available resources to effectively use the hardware we have in place. It also gives us the ability to have almost an end to end view of the virtual space which makes troubleshooting easier. Also it reduces the 'blame game' and helps us focus in on the providing excellent service to our clients. We're starting to allow more automation and expect to see further efficiency gains with its adoption.
- We use it to automate the movement and management of our VDI environments for our call center. Without Turbonomic helping us, we were able to fit more VDIs into the same amount of physical hardware.
- The planning tool is also effective to allow use to predict future resource requirements based on historical growth and current usage.
- Reporting is something we are proactively setting up so we can report to management and program areas on the state of their environments.
- Being able to manage and report on virtual Apache systems would be a great addition. Also F5 support would be great.
- New UI. The old one looks and feels dated.
- The ability to more easily produce 'Show Back' and 'Shame Back' reports. Still quite a manual process for us.
- We are early in our deployment of Turbonomic, so the ROI is being realized, just not fully yet. We have reduced our need to purchase physical servers while increasing workload on the ones we currently have deployed, and expect the tool to continue this trend for some time.
It's changed the way we manage the environments by reducing the amount of time we actually have to manage it manually. Automation is the key here.
We found the VMware product to be very feature rich, but hard to understand what you were looking at without a lot of work.
