AI-driven cost insights have transformed our cloud spend control and team collaboration
The best features CloudVerse AI offers include anomaly detection, which is probably my favorite feature. The multi-cloud visibility dashboard is also helpful because we do not want separate dashboards for AWS and GCP. The anomaly detection feature in CloudVerse AI is invaluable because it moves us from reactive troubleshooting to proactive cost management. It uses machine learning to establish a baseline for our typical spend, so it alerts us the moment we see a spike that deviates from that pattern, rather than waiting for the end-of-month bill. Recently, it caught an unoptimized development environment that was left running over a weekend. CloudVerse AI helps track our cloud expenses effectively.

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

"CloudVerse AI felt more focused on automation instead of just reporting."
"We purchased this product because it was the best that we evaluated and I'm very happy with our choice."
"Turnbonomic monitors your environment and reacts automatically."
"It has saved us from buying lots of hardware that we would have bought if it weren't for Turbonomic."
"The recommendation of the family types is a huge help because it has saved us a lot of money. We use it primarily for that. Another thing that Turbonomic provides us with is a single platform that manages the full application stack and that's something I really like."
"The proactive monitoring of all our open enrollment applications has improved our organization. We have used it to size applications that we are moving to the cloud. Therefore, when we move them out there, we have them appropriately sized. We use it for reporting to current application owners, showing them where they are wasting money. There are easy things to find for an application, e.g., they decommissioned the server, but they never took care of the storage. Without a tool like this, that storage would just sit there forever, with us getting billed for it."
"With a fully automated environment, I never need to worry about host resource utilization or guest resource consumption."
"This tool offers us the best mechanism we have had so far to implement this effort."
"Better than DRS to load balance VMs across hosts, allowing us to release 30% more computing resources."
 

Cons

"In terms of how CloudVerse AI can be improved, the UI can feel a little crowded when you are looking at very large environments."
"I would like to see the interface move to HTML5, but I am told that is in the works."
"In Azure, it's not what you're using. You purchase the whole 8 TB disk and you pay for it. It doesn't matter how much you're using. So something that I've asked for from Turbonomic is recommendations based on disk utilization. In the example of the 8 TB disk where only 200 GBs are being used, based on the history, there should be a recommendation like, "You can safely use a 500 GB disk." That would create a lot of savings."
"A more interactive dashboard with integrated features."
"Occasionally after changes in our environment, we often needed to restart the Tomcat service on the instance."
"The GUI is not always user friendly and some settings are not where you would expect."
"Wish the storage move accounts for possible VMware snapshots that existed on some host."
"Reports take time to custom tweak."
"Initial setup was complex to get reports we wanted."

"What I can advise is to trial the product, taking advantage of the Turbonomic pre-sales implemention support and kickstart training."

"The pricing is in line with the other solutions that we have. It's not a bargain software, nor is it overly expensive."
"Price is a big one. VMTurbo was very competitively priced."
"It is an endpoint type license, which is fine. It is not overly expensive."
