It can tell us where performance is lagging on the hardware layer, but the reporting on the application layer is lacking
The automation area could be improved, and the generic reports are poor. We want more details in the analysis report from the application layer. The reports from the infrastructure layer are satisfactory, but Turbonomic won't provide much information if we dig down further than the application layer. I would like them to add some apps for physical device load resourcing and physical-to-virtual calculation. It gives excellent recommendations for the virtual layer but doesn't have the capabilities for physical-to-virtual analysis. Automated deployment is something else they could add. Some built-in automation features are helpful, but we aren't effectively using a few. We want a few more automated features, like autoscaling and automatic performance optimization testing would be useful.

Streamlined VM migration with automated background processes and excellent support
I have used AWS Application Migration Service for migrating virtual machines (VMs) from on-site environments to AWS It makes the process of migrating VMs from on-site into AWS really easy. The automation capabilities synchronize data in real-time into the cloud, making the cutover process…

Because of its streaming-based approach, caching and WAN optimizations, the software can support mass migration of many applications simultaneously.​
The solution implements three features which are of great value: * With Velostrata’s streaming-based approach to migration, I am able to start running apps in the cloud environment in a few minutes, regardless of how much data is associated. No special overhead costs. No need for post-migration adaptation. No need for a complex migration process that can take days or even weeks. * Velostrata is agentless, which can save many hours of labor per server, and because it moves the actual instance of the application to the cloud, cutover is fast, does not require complex synchronization and does not risk data loss. * Before Velostrata, the complexity of migration projects left me in a public cloud vendor lock-in after choosing my supplier. Velostrata grants me the freedom to move applications back on-premise or to another cloud provider.

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Everybody tells me the pricing is high. But the ROIs are great."
"The pricing is in line with the other solutions that we have. It's not a bargain software, nor is it overly expensive."
"It's worth the time and money investment if you can afford it."
"It was an annual buy-in. You basically purchase it based on your host type stuff. The buy-in was about 20K, and the annual maintenance is about $3,000 a year."
"We see ROI in extended support agreements (ESA) for old software. Migration activities seem to be where Turbonomic has really benefited us the most. It's one click and done. We have new machines ready to go with Turbonomic, which are properly sized instead of somebody sitting there with a spreadsheet and guessing. So, my return on investment would certainly be on currency, from a software and hardware perspective."
"We felt the pricing was very fair for the product. It is in no way prohibitive for larger deployments, unlike other similar product on the market."
"I know there have been some issues with the billing, when the numbers were first proposed, as to how much we would save. There was a huge miscommunication on our part. Turbonomic was led to believe that we could optimize our AWS footprint, because we didn't know we couldn't. So, we were promised savings of $750,000. Then, when we came to implement Turbonomic, the developers in AWS said, "Absolutely not. You're not putting that in our environment. We can't scale down anything because they coded it." Our AWS environment is a legacy environment. It has all these old applications, where all the developers who have made it are no longer with the company. Those applications generate a ton of money for us. So, if one breaks, we are really in trouble and they didn't want to have to deal with an environment that was changing and couldn't be supported. That number went from $750,000 to about $450,000. However, that wasn't Turbonomic's fault."
"In the last year, Turbonomic has reduced our cloud costs by $94,000."
"For me, the price of the tool is cheap and very good. It is flexible pricing since you pay just for what you use."
"Live Migration's price is good."
