Overall Satisfaction with VMTurbo Operations Manager

I am using VMTurbo to monitor and aid in managing my VMWare 4.1, 5.0, and 5.5 infrastructure. We use it in our Information Technology Services Division at Southwest Tennessee Community College. It helps maintain a healthy balance on my VMWare 4.1 environment as it is almost resource saturated. I have also utilized the "What If" function to save money by not investing in additional hardware that a vendor says we needed but proved to not need when we increased our VDI pools for our new nursing building.
  • The planning feature is a great asset. It allows me to see what my environment will do by adding or taking away loads that I would not be able to do in the live system.
  • By allowing VMTurbo to move my virtual machines automatically to best utilize the resources across the hosts, I can free up time to do other tasks.
  • The dashboard allows me to see at a glance what I need to know.
  • Saved me about $20K in additional hardware that I did not need.
I have allowed the VMTurbo to automate my provisioning in my 4.1 environment to free up more time for me to do other tasks.

VMTurbo was my first choice. It gave me better control.
