Overall Satisfaction with IBM Turbonomic

We are using Turbonomic to manage and streamline our cloud footprint. We have seen a lower cost footprint as well as assistance in organizing our environment and making it clear to all of our users how the cloud costs the company and how to make better decisions on its use.
  • Lower cost.
  • Expose risk.
  • Organize savings by category.
  • Lowers cloud spending commit.
  • Most of my recommendations have already been implemented in the new Turbo8.
  • Auto update feature.
  • We have seen a 3x ROI.
  • We have a lot more to save.
  • Newer versions of Turbo continue to expose more cost savings.
Turbonomic was recommended by one of our vendors to help handle and manage costs. We have not used any other company.

We do not use Turbonomic in this sense...it is just to manage cloud spend.
Yes in that the teams are now engaged in weekly updates and infrastructure is more aware of how devops is using Azure features so we can deliver better solutions to them and the business.
We have saved to date over $850,000 year over year in just Azure alone.
Turbo is extremely well suited for companies that are looking to utilize the cloud in that it can help you plan and expect what your cost will be. It is also well suited for companies that already leverage the cloud in helping expose potential risk, minimize cost, and organize resources.
