Yes, TeamQuest, CA CAPMAN, and others.

We looked at a few other vendors to see what they're offering and their capabilities. To be honest with you, we also looked at, just natively, what could we do better ourselves. We did evaluate both native capabilities, as well as other competing vendors to see what they offered.

Yes. We looked internally, developed capabilities that we had which were not market available, and were supported by my organization.

We looked at some products from other organizations, but none of them provided everything for all these different server types inside our environment.

Densify gave us a complete solution rather than having us have five different solutions where we had to stitch data back together from multiple sources.

I worked on BMC Capacity Optimization and BMC TrueSight, SRM. But with the team to have Densify implemented, and making it to work, along with excellent support, it made the decision to switch worthwhile for my clients.

We compared the product with VMware's native product, that is vROps, and we found this product to be more intuitive and requiring less effort to put in to utilize it; the VMware product product had a big-time learning curve for us. Of course, the deployment cost was there as well as the learning cost and, of course, a lot of other factors were there, the timelines and everything. Whereas, with this product, the software as a service model, it could be implemented very quickly, very easily, and then we could rely on the recommendations which come from Densify.

I am unaware of another product that offers such functionality in one package.

We had already evaluated Turbonomic and abandoned it. We looked at other market offerings but did not perform in-house evaluations of them.
