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 have been able to use the planning feature to consolidate VMs on few hosts and have been able to show savings of several hundred thousands."
"Turbonomics ability to present suggested improvements, and enact those changes upon approval, have been very helpful in our environment."
"Our ROI occurred in less than 6 months by allowing us to avoid a costly server upgrade that was planned for parts of our VMware infrastructure."
"The primary features we have focused on are reporting and optimization."
"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."
"Starting from the reporting and recommendations, every feature has been very helpful."
"With Operations Manager, I can see my entire infrastructure in one view, in real time."
"Turbonomic has helped optimize cloud operations and reduced our cloud costs significantly. Overall, we are at about 40 percent savings, and we spend about three million a year just in Azure. It reduces the size of the VMs, putting them into the right template for usage. People don't realize that you don't have to future-proof a virtual machine in Azure. You just need to build it for today. As the business or service grows, you can scale up or out. About 90 percent of all the costs that we've reduced has been from sizing machines appropriately."
 

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."
"We would like to see Turbonomics dive into JVMs and continue to work with HP in the integration with HP OneView 3.0."
"Reports could be more versatile."
"Additional interfaces would be helpful."
"They could add a few more reports. They could also be a bit more granular."
"The reporting module has very big potential, but really lacks predefined reports for all kinds of purposes."
"I would like Turbonomic to add more services, especially in the cloud area. I have already told them this. They can add Azure NetApp Files. They can add Azure Blob storage. They have already added Azure App service, but they can do more."
"We're still evaluating the solution, so I don't know enough about what I don't know. They've done a lot over the years. I used Turbonomics six or seven years ago before IBM bought them. They've matured a lot since then."
"They could add a few more reports. They could also be a bit more granular. While they have reports, sometimes it is hard to figure out what you are looking for just by looking at the date."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Price is a big one. VMTurbo was very competitively priced."
"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."
"What I can advise is to trial the product, taking advantage of the Turbonomic pre-sales implemention support and kickstart training."
"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."
"It's worth the time and money investment if you can afford it."
"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 was an annual buy-in. You basically purchase it based on your host type stuff. The buy-in was about 20K, and the annual maintenance is about $3,000 a year."
