Overall Satisfaction with Turbonomic (formerly VMTurbo)

It is used for planning new vms and right sizing the current ones.
  • Load balancing
  • Planning
  • Right sizing
  • Planning - would like to build multiple projects on top of each other.
  • Right sizing freeing resources
  • Projection on whether we can fit new projects
We used it for placement over vmware as we found it did a better job due to it holding a longer history of spikes and usages.
  • SolarWinds Application & Server Management
1000% better.
We got VMTurbo Operations Manager mostly for planning and showing major configuration issues and it has hit that mark.

  • Right sizing

  • Planning to a point, but it still needs to be refined

Because it fills our needs and the updates are making the product better.
