Centralized analytics has improved real-time campaign reporting and accelerated dashboard insights
CelerData can be improved in several areas. I have identified issues where the transportation and documentation do not reflect the reality of the models, and I found data points issues related to bugs in the code, so for the open-source version, CelerData needs to be more consistent and reliable compared to the cloud version. Regarding CelerData's AI capabilities, I believe the governance and security need to be tested and integrated, and it is still too early in development to make a good determination. Concerning CelerData's AI capabilities, the accuracy and reliability of output depend significantly on the quality of log troubleshooting, which I believe is one of the most important parts.

The solution reduced our operational expenditures and is able to identify points before we even noticed them
The management interface seems to be designed for high-resolution screens. Somebody with a smaller-resolution screen might not like the web interface. I run a 4K monitor on it, so everything fits on the screen. With a lower resolution like 1080, you need to scroll a lot. Everything is in smaller windows. It doesn't seem to be designed for smaller screens. When I change the resolution to 1080, I only see half of what I would on my big 4K monitor. It would be annoying to have to scroll to see the flow chart. They have a flow chart that goes top to bottom like a tree. On a lower resolution, it might be nice if that scrolls horizontally because it's long, narrow, and tall. It's only three icons wide, but it's 15 icons tall. I think it would be helpful to have the ability to change that for a smaller screen and customize the widget.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"CelerData has positively impacted my organization by providing faster response times on reports, especially for real-time data, and I am finally able to centralize all integrated data from different systems for dashboards and reporting."
"CelerData has positively impacted my organization because we improved the production of new analytics; we improved the production by 30%."
"I appreciate CelerData for the agility we have to ingest data."
"We have saved money on licensing and availability of our applications."
"The default dashboards give an excellent view of the current health of the virtual infrastructure, and they provide sensible recommendations for remediation."
"Since our organization provides managed services to our clients, it is important our engineers are able to retrieve not only real-time data but the recommendations and rightsizing information instantly."
"The ability to monitor and automate both the right-sizing of VMs as well as to automate the vMotion of VMs across ESXi hosts."
"If you need a product that can automate workload balancing, capacity planning, reporting of resource use - Turbonomic is a fantastic choice."
"Turbonomic has definitely helped to save human resource time and cost involved in monitoring and optimizing our estate; it has automated a lot of things and we have saved 30 to 35 percent in human resource time and cost, which is pretty substantial."
"We are more efficient and once again the reporting allows us to get pertinent data quickly."
"Today we have found the forecasting of the environment and optimization the most beneficial."
 

Cons

"I have identified issues where the transportation and documentation do not reflect the reality of the models, and I found data points issues related to bugs in the code, so for the open-source version, CelerData needs to be more consistent and reliable compared to the cloud version."
"Also reporting needs to be worked on, the lack of ability to edit a report has been a challenge."
"It is an expensive product so we have only licenced the critical hosts in production."
"The product needs tighter integration points with storage vendors, the mainstream top 5-6 are added but it would be nice to see more."
"Occasionally after changes in our environment, we often needed to restart the Tomcat service on the instance."
"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."
"It was definitely more stable on-prem. The reason I say that is because we've had several times where we have run into licensing issues."
"Alert emails could be more comprehensive."
"Interface needs to loose Flash completely and switch to HTML5."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The product is fairly priced right now. Given its capabilities, it is excellently priced. We think that the product will become self-funding because we will be able to maximize our resources, which will help us from a capacity perspective. That should save us money in the long run."
"It is an endpoint type license, which is fine. It is not overly expensive."
"The pricing is in line with the other solutions that we have. It's not a bargain software, nor is it overly expensive."
"Contact the Turbonomic sales team, explain your needs and what you're looking to monitor. They will get a pre-sales SE on the phone and together work up a very accurate quote."
"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."
"The pricing and licensing are fair. We purchase based on benchmark pricing, which we have been able to get. There are no surprise charges nor hidden fees."
"It's worth the time and money investment if you can afford it."
"I don't know the current prices, but I like how the licensing is based on the number of instances instead of sockets, clusters, or cores. We have some VMs that are so heavy I can only fit four on one server. It's not cost-effective if we have to pay more for those. When I move around a VM SQL box with 30 cores and a half-terabyte of RAM, I'm not paying for an entire socket and cores where people assume you have at least 10 or 20 VMs on that socket for that pricing."
