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.
Adalberto Barbosa Da Costa Lobato - PeerSpot reviewer
A stable product with excellent cloud management features and a helpful support team
The ability to manage most clouds is helpful, especially with extremely large organizations where we have multiple cloud providers, and we cannot centralize management. It was one of the areas that really helped us, especially with managing and mapping resources. We also used CloudBolt to find a shadow IT resource. Nobody knew what they were doing or who was responsible for them.
Archana Menon - PeerSpot reviewer
Easy to use and has great orchestration and automation capabilities
The solution's initial setup is straightforward. Complexity always comes when the company requirements are added. There is a reason why ServiceNow is a market leader. If they would also bring in the complex nature like their peers, force companies to stick to out-of-the-box all the time, and bring in product customizations or product revisions, which would force other users not to use customization, then it would not stay like that. ServiceNow should not go the same route as other vendors and restrict their products from being scaled up or scaled down.
