AI knowledge search has saved time and supports faster discovery across internal teams
Regarding CloudVerse AI's accuracy and reliability of output, I would say accuracy is generally good, especially when it's pulling from well-maintained internal documentation. For straightforward questions, we trust the answer most of the time, but if we're asking it to do something that's operationally critical, we still have a human review the output. We still see occasional cases where it hallucinates or misinterprets something, so that's why we have that double-check recommendation. If I had to put a number on it, maybe eighty to ninety percent of responses are useful on the first attempt, depending on the quality of the underlying data. One area CloudVerse AI can be improved is that accuracy can still be inconsistent depending on the source material. If the documentation is outdated, the AI can confidently return outdated information. That's not unique to CloudVerse AI, but it's something teams need to understand. I would also like to see better visibility into why certain answers were ranked higher than others. Better debugging and transparency on how the answers are generated would improve CloudVerse AI. When a response isn't quite right, it's sometimes difficult to understand why, or which source influenced the result the most. A few more out-of-the-box integrations would also help reduce setup effort during onboarding. The user experience is generally good, but power users would benefit from more advanced filtering and search controls.

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."
"The biggest positive organizational impact CloudVerse AI has had is the reduced time to discovery."
"The automation piece is one of the most valuable features."
"There has been a pretty drastic decrease in compute and cloud spends, due to either making the changes suggested by Turbonomic, or letting Turbonomic make the changes."
"Customer Service: Excellent. We largely don't have to touch the product which has led to us missing out on an occasional feature."
"Turbonomic has provided us an automagic optimization of our environment from an operational point of view."
"We can manage multiple environments using a single pane of glass, which is something that I really like."
"Automation of leveling out compute power across servers and forecasting."
"With this product, the admin IT takes time to do other kind of jobs and not to resolve problems."
"Allowing Turbonomic to take over for vCenter DRS has shown a marked decrease in vMotion of virtual machines to keep our cluster resources balanced."
 

Cons

"We still see occasional cases where it hallucinates or misinterprets something, so that's why we have that double-check recommendation."
"In terms of how CloudVerse AI can be improved, the UI can feel a little crowded when you are looking at very large environments."
"While the product is fairly intuitive and easy to use once you learn it, it can be quite daunting until you have undergone a bit of training."
"Would like some better canned reports allowing for average utilization of VMs in the environment during a defined range of hours."
"An option to remove unlicensed features from the dashboard would be welcome."
"User Interface can initially seem a bit busy, but you get used to that once you learn what it is showing you."
"The product needs tighter integration points with storage vendors, the mainstream top 5-6 are added but it would be nice to see more."
"Some features are only available via changes to the deployment YAML, and it would be better to have them in the UI."
"The new HTML5 version is not as user friendly as I had hoped."
"Also reporting needs to be worked on, the lack of ability to edit a report has been a challenge."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"IBM Turbonomic is an investment that we believe will deliver positive returns."
"Licensing is per socket, so load up on the cores rather than a lot of lower core CPUs."
"We see ROI in extended support agreements (ESA) for old software. Migration activities seem to be where Turbonomic has really benefited us the most. It's one click and done. We have new machines ready to go with Turbonomic, which are properly sized instead of somebody sitting there with a spreadsheet and guessing. So, my return on investment would certainly be on currency, from a software and hardware perspective."
"You should understand the cost of your physical servers and how much time and money you are spending year over year on expanding your virtual farm."
"What I can advise is to trial the product, taking advantage of the Turbonomic pre-sales implemention support and kickstart training."
"I consider the pricing to be high."
"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."
"In the last year, Turbonomic has reduced our cloud costs by $94,000."
