Overall Satisfaction with VMTurbo Operations Manager

We use it in the IT Department to manage our VM Farm. It is used to automate certain processes as well as project growth and determine if there is a need for more compute.
  • Automation
  • Fine tuning your VM Farm
  • Reporting
  • Reporting is very nice, but a little more fine tuning on the reports would be nice.
  • Saved me $30K within the first month. Didn't have to buy a new Cisco UCS Blade.
We looked a vCops and it didn't have all the features we were looking for and was almost twice as expensive.
VMTurbo Operations Manager does an amazing job of fine tuning your VM Farm. Reports are super fast and presented well. I love the ability to automate tasks at certain times of the day or night.

Evaluating VMTurbo Operations Manager and Competitors

  • Price
  • Product Features
  • Product Usability
  • Product Reputation
We decided on VMTurbo because of a few things: features, usability, and price. VMTurbo gives us more bang for the buck over some other well known VM products.
I wouldn't change a thing, except I wouldn't have waited a full month to purchase the product.
