Turbonomic Review

In addition to the core feature set, the planning tool has been invaluable to us.

Valuable Features

Other than the core feature set, the planning tool has been invaluable to us.

Improvements to My Organization

VMTurbo Operations Manager has given myself and my staff more time to focus on other projects and tasks as well as improved overall performance of the virtual environment.

Room for Improvement

The UI could be improved.

Use of Solution

We have been using this product for the past 11 months.

Deployment Issues

None at all, very smooth deployment and pretty easy to tune so far.

Stability Issues

None at all.

Scalability Issues

None at all.

Customer Service and Technical Support

Customer Service:

10/10, everyone has been very helpful and even my pre-sales guys are very easy to reach and check up on my from time to time.

Technical Support:

10/10.

Previous Solutions

We evaluated vCOPS but decided we received way more functionality and automation with VMTurbo.

Initial Setup

Very, straightforward setup by deploying the OVA template. You can slowly automate tasks once you’re comfortable with what its recommending.

Implementation Team

We implemented in-house.

ROI

Within 6 months to 1 year… (helped avoid the immediate need to replace some older test storage).

Other Solutions Considered

We evaluated vCOPS but decided we received way more functionality and automation with VMTurbo.

Other Advice

Do the 30 day demo, you have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

I have to agree about the planning tool as that is what helped me sell the solution to our Management in November. We are now using it and planning VM additions takes all but 5-10 minutes versus the manual spreadsheet method of 4-5 days.
