Eduardo Sanfrutos - PeerSpot reviewer
A good, but limited cost information solution with strong analytics but requiring more flexibility in its reporting functionality
We use this solution to provide various cost information from across our organization We find the analytics available via this solution to be very useful, as it allows us to easily see detailed cost information for each of our various subscription elements. We would like to see more flexibility…
SubashSubbiah - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
