Optimizes cloud strategies with security and cost insights
Trusted Advisor offers features that provide inside information for the entire account, including identifying security gaps and offering cost optimization insights. The key features include security recommendations, cost optimization, and various packages to choose from, depending on the size of the company. It is especially beneficial for larger companies, as the tool provides a comprehensive view of account security, open ports, buckets, and offers recommendations for protection.
Cláudio Braga - PeerSpot reviewer
AI Software Developer Engineer at IBM
Improves cloud cost control and accountability but could explore further enhancements
The most valuable features of this solution include the drive for accountability because we can allocate cloud costs back to specific business units or teams through showback and chargeback. Additionally, reduced waste is achieved because we can identify unused or underutilized resources and receive recommendations for resizing instances. VMWare Tanzu CloudHealth's unified dashboard helps streamline cloud management practices by unifying everything needed in one dashboard, such as metrics, instance workings, machines, and servers. All of this in just one dashboard is very helpful to improve agility and resolve issues, especially for the workloads. VMWare Tanzu CloudHealth helps manage compliance risks by preventing threats, stopping attacks, detecting threats, and securing workloads or endpoints where customers will be using the endpoints. The positive impact on my organization is substantial because we can reduce waste, optimize expenses, drive accountability, and secure the budget from unnecessary cloud costs.

Pros

"The key features include security recommendations, cost optimization, and various packages to choose from, depending on the size of the company."
"Trusted Advisor offers features that provide inside information for the entire account, including identifying security gaps and offering cost optimization insights."
"Trusted Advisor has helped our organisation gain insights into best practices across a number of important domains for us, and it has helped me maintain a holistic view of our AWS platform and guided me to improve areas needing it."
"I strongly recommend using Trusted Advisor due to its role in cybersecurity, providing cost-effective solutions compared to external companies."
"The cost optimization and security-related fixes in the AWS Trusted Advisor have been great."
"It is very stable."
"The recommendation feature is really good."
"Trusted Advisor scans the complete infrastructure within the account, providing a consolidated view of all services in use."
"The solution is good for cloud cost management."
"This solution is fast and very easy to understand, even if you are not a technician."
"The product is easy to use in terms of monitoring all the environments. It works for multiple clouds."
"Overall, it's one of the best products because it's easy to use and has a great dashboard."
"The most valuable thing I have found is the cost saving recommendations."
"The pricing is rather competitive right now."
"The solution is useful for cloud transparency and visibility in reports and dashboards that I have generated, especially the pre-populated dashboards."
"VMWare Tanzu CloudHealth's unified dashboard helps streamline cloud management practices by unifying everything needed in one dashboard, such as metrics, instance workings, machines, and servers."
 

Cons

"Cost is a significant factor that needs improvement. Reducing the cost would make it more beneficial for all users."
"Maybe adding more security rules would be great."
"Maybe if Trusted Advisor could also help us with IP address issues and the status of our VPCs, it would be beneficial."
"I'd like the solution to support clouds beyond AWS."
"Whenever they suggest anything or any changes in the environment, we cannot click and simply implement those changes."
"The integration between Trusted Advisor and Security Hub sometimes lacks, and I need a way to ensure things come through there."
"For EC2 instances, we need to install the AWS CloudWatch agent to get the memory metric because we don't have a by-default memory utilization graph on cost optimization."
"However, the integration between Trusted Advisor and Security Hub occasionally confuses as there are many overlapping AWS services and the same finding can be duplicated."
"CloudHealth needs to start building out Turbonomics-types of features that help the customers who are using CloudHealth really understand everything down to the server level, the virtual machine level."
"When you start to virtualize things it gets very expensive."
"They should provide information or tools to tune the cloud resources according to the environment size."
"The solution doesn't offer the best functionality, unfortunately. Some features just simply aren't on offer. The solution needs to offer more product milestones."
"It would be helpful to have a mobile version or a tablet version, especially for people who are outside of the office."
"Apptio Cloudability has better granular visibility of data that is missing in CloudHealth."
"If you are working with the OS you need help and other connectors to get more information."
"CloudHealth doesn't have that capability; they can't reach down to that level right now."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Trusted Advisor offers various packages, with the most comprehensive costing $15,000 per month."
"I give the cost of the solution an eight out of ten."
"The pricing is competitive and while other products are good they are considerably more expensive."
"CloudHealth has a subscription-based model."
"The licensing fees depend on how big the company is. If you are a larger company then you have a better contract with a better price. The price is different for a small company."
"There could be flexibility in pricing for the product."
