We performed a comparison between IBM Turbonomic and Veeam ONE based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Virtualization Management Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It also brings up a list of machines and if something is under-provisioned and needs more compute power it will tell you, 'This server needs more compute power, and we suggest you raise it up to this level.' It will even automatically do it for you. In Azure, you don't have to actually go into the cloud provider to resize. You can just say, 'Apply these resizes,' and Turbonomic uses some back-end APIs to make the changes for you."
"The system automatically sizes and moves resources based on the needs of the applications."
"Turbonomic can show us if we're not using some of our storage volumes efficiently in AWS. For example, if we've over-provisioned one of our virtual machines to have dedicated IOPs that it doesn't need, Turbonomic will detect that and tell us."
"Rightsizing is valuable. Its recommendations are pretty good."
"The automation and orchestration components are definitely the best part, as you can tell it what it can do and when, and just let it be."
"In our organization, optimizing application performance is a continuous process that is beyond human scale. We would not be able to do the number of actions that Turbonomic takes on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis. It is humanly impossible with the little micro adjustments that it can make. That is a huge differentiator. If you just figure each action could take anywhere very conservatively from five to 10 minutes to act upon, then you multiply that out by thousands of actions every month, it is easily something where you could say, "I am saving a couple of FTEs.""
"The most valuable features are the cluster utilization reports and the resource capacity planning. We can simulate how much capacity we can add to the current resources. The individual DM reports and VM-facing recommendations report are also helpful."
"Turbonomic has helped optimize cloud operations and reduced our cloud costs significantly. Overall, we are at about 40 percent savings, and we spend about three million a year just in Azure. It reduces the size of the VMs, putting them into the right template for usage. People don't realize that you don't have to future-proof a virtual machine in Azure. You just need to build it for today. As the business or service grows, you can scale up or out. About 90 percent of all the costs that we've reduced has been from sizing machines appropriately."
"The installation is pretty straightforward."
"The stability of Veeam ONE is good."
"Veeam ONE is a straightforward solution and compatible with almost all hardware."
"Veeam One is easy to use. You don't need to get very technical or specific class training. Anyone can start using it."
"The tool is a stable backup solution."
"Veeam ONE is the best and the most mature solution for hypervisors and physical machines."
"The monthly reports come complete with graphs and summaries, it's really helpful."
"I have found the most valuable feature to be the configuration and ease of use."
"They have a long road map when we ask for certain things that will make the product better. It takes time, but that's understandable because there are other things that are higher on the priority list."
"Remove the need for special in-house knowledge and development."
"Before IBM bought it, the support was fantastic. After IBM bought it, the support became very disappointing."
"There is an opportunity for improvement with some of Turbonomic's permissions internally for role-based access control. We would like the ability to come up with some customized permissions or scope permissions a bit differently than the product provides."
"The way it handles updates needs to be improved."
"The old interface was not the clearest UI in some areas, and could be quite intimidating when first using the tool."
"The planning and costing areas could be a little bit more detailed. When you have more than 2,000 machines, the reports don't work properly. They need to fix it so that the reports work when you use that many virtual machines."
"It can be more agnostic in terms of the solutions that it provides. It can include some other cost-saving methods for the public cloud and SaaS applications as well."
"Veeam ONE could be improved if it had a better data recovery feature."
"Creating reports is a bit difficult, and you have to spend some time on it."
"The appliance doesn't have a domain. If there was a competitor with a domain, I'd likely use them."
"The pricing is very high."
"Agent backups could be better. I have many problems with agent backups, particularly on Linux and MySQL databases. MySQL works well with Microsoft products but not with other products. The database backups are not working correctly, and we are losing business. I am not getting any support; administration is also a significant problem."
"There is a bug that prevents enabling the restore button, which is hectic."
"Sometimes the solution give reports that are confusing and has errors. So the integration of the full solution with the resolution of resolving the error should be added in the next release.The solution should also provide more customization, automation, better documentation."
"I am highly dissatisfied with their customer support approach."
