Senior DevOps Engineer at Alibaba Group
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.
Sasikiran Sakalabattina - PeerSpot reviewer
Sr Infrastructure engineer at TechMahindra
Centralized dashboards have optimized multi-cloud costs and improved financial governance
VMWare Tanzu CloudHealth is a powerful cloud management platform, but there are areas for improvement. I would prefer to see more AI-driven insights that not only recommend optimization but also suggest automated remediation actions. Real-time cost synchronization could be faster, as billing data sometimes has delays. More customized dashboards and report templates would help teams tailor their needs better. Kubernetes cost visibility could be more granular for centralized workloads. Integration with ITSM and automation tools such as ServiceNow and Ansible could be enhanced. Simplifying initial onboarding and policy configuration would also improve the experience for new users. These enhancements would make the platform even more efficient for enterprise cloud operations. This tool is a mature and relevant cloud management platform with several areas that could be enhanced. I would prefer to see more advanced AI capabilities providing predictive insights and automated remediation for common optimization tasks. Better, faster synchronization of cloud billing and utilization data would enable near real-time cost monitoring. I want more customizable dashboards and executive reports tailored for different stakeholders such as FinOps, infrastructure, and management teams. Improving Kubernetes container cost visibility at the pod level is also necessary. I would prefer to see stronger AI-driven automation, faster real-time cost updates, more customizable dashboards, deeper Kubernetes cost visibility, enhanced DevOps integrations, and a simpler onboarding process as areas needing improvement. These enhancements would further increase operational efficiency and make the platform more valuable for enterprise cloud management.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"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 features are valuable."
"It is very stable."
"AWS Trusted Advisor is a tool that we can use to optimize the AWS infrastructure cost."
"I would give it a ten out of ten."
"The Security Advisor is the most valuable feature. It instantly informs you about any system misconfigurations, and the best part is, it's completely free."
"The key features include security recommendations, cost optimization, and various packages to choose from, depending on the size of the company."
"The most valuable thing I have found is the cost saving recommendations."
"VMWare Tanzu CloudHealth has positively impacted my organization by optimizing cloud costs and helping platform teams make data-driven decisions while ensuring compliance."
"With this, we have right-sized many instances, removed many unused EBS volumes, and unused Elastic IPs, and in that way, we have cut around 20% of cost."
"The solution is useful for cloud transparency and visibility in reports and dashboards that I have generated, especially the pre-populated dashboards."
"The product is easy to use in terms of monitoring all the environments. It works for multiple clouds."
"VMWare Tanzu CloudHealth has helped me achieve twenty to thirty percent cloud cost optimization and save thirty to forty percent of the time."
"There are two major reasons we are very interested in VMWare Tanzu CloudHealth: First, the observability we can build into VMWare Tanzu CloudHealth allows us to determine what is happening before any service fails, and we are positioned to fix things preventively."
"Cloud Health has tremendous scope, and is on many clouds, including Google Cloud, Amazon, AWS, and Azure."
 

Cons

"I'd like the solution to support clouds beyond AWS."
"Cost is a significant factor that needs improvement. Reducing the cost would make it more beneficial for all users."
"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."
"The tenancy must be free for all metrics."
"Trusted Advisor currently scans the whole system, including development, staging, and QA environments, which increases costs. It would be better if it could selectively scan only production systems."
"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."
"Maybe adding more security rules would be great."
"The Perspectives feature could be better."
"They should provide information or tools to tune the cloud resources according to the environment size."
"Setup costs are very expensive."
"Real-time cost synchronization could be faster, as billing data sometimes has delays."
"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."
"The performance and accuracy of Cloud Health need to be improved."
"I have not seen a return on investment with VMWare Tanzu CloudHealth, as it is a monitoring tool."
"The weak points of VMWare Tanzu CloudHealth are that while the product is quite capable, cost can be an issue at times."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Trusted Advisor offers various packages, with the most comprehensive costing $15,000 per month."
"There could be flexibility in pricing for the product."
"The pricing is competitive and while other products are good they are considerably more expensive."
"I give the cost of the solution an eight out of ten."
"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."
"CloudHealth has a subscription-based model."
