There were no deployment issues.
View full review »No, we did not have any deployment issues
View full review »It has been a while, and I forgot. If there were any issues, they were probably very minimal. Otherwise, it was pretty straightforward.

View full review »Our deployment was seamless.
View full review »I had one upgrade fail. I called support and it appeared to be a one-off problem. They had it fixed within 24 hours. This has been my one and only support call since deploying the application.
View full review »No issues and it can't get any easier. Love the virtual appliance deployment.
View full review »Very simple to deploy, less than 20 minutes before we could start seeing data and recommendations on our environment.

None.
View full review »None.
View full review »We didn't have any issues with deployment.
View full review »No. We did have to clean up our storage before allowing it to make automatic decisions on storage commodities.
View full review »No. Working with Turbonomic is incredible. The company is probably the biggest reason I initially selected this product over a competitor. When requesting a trial Turbonomic arranges a meeting where they install the product in your environment and provide you with an overview of how it works. The product was deployed perfectly by a well Turbonomics employee who knew the product well.

No, the solution was easy to implement.
View full review »None.

View full review »No issues with deployment, however my original virtual appliance was so old that support had to forklift upgrade the database this year to their newer version so I could get the latest code. Was very simple and painless.
View full review »Some minor reporting related issues with our initial production versions, which were promptly resolved by Turbonomic support.
View full review »Deployment is an easy OVA deployment.
View full review »I had full support from the Turbonomics group. They assisted with the install and configuration. Great company to work with.

View full review »VMware - just make sure your infrastructure allows the Turbonomic application to see all your vCenters.
Hyper-V - I tried to test Turbonomic on Hyper-V in a test environment. This was not at straightforward as attaching to a vCenter. It needs various Windows settings changed. Not sure if this has been fixed/made easier in new versions.

When setting up custom automation rules, a member of Turbonomic's support team initiated a WebEx and reviewed all of the rules looking for any errors as well as suggesting some additional custom rules based on how we wanted Turbonomic to operate. That's one of the great things about Turbonomic, it is almost endlessly customizable so you can configure it to work in your environment as opposed having to tailor your environment to work with the tool.
View full review »No issues.
View full review »No. It comes as a virtual appliance which is installed and configured quickly. The update process to a newer version or patch level is simple.
View full review »None at all. Very quick and easy to roll out. We are mostly a Hyper-V shop and downloading a new appliance and setup is fast and very quick.
View full review »No issues at all. That was the goal since the first call: please don't bring me something else to manage that will take forever to be in place. Thirty minutes on the phone and the tool was working.
View full review »Deployment is very simple and straightforward.
View full review »None at all, it was very easy.

View full review »There were no issues during deployment. We had it up and running within five minutes.

View full review »No issues with deployment.
