Cost analytics have driven MSP savings and commitment coverage grows across client accounts
In my opinion, the best features DoiT offers are the deep cost analytics feature, which is really powerful because it helps give a cost breakdown and cool-level visibility as compared to the other competitors. From a commitment optimization standpoint, it really helps us with effective discount rates. The MSP multi-tenant management is another feature; there is definitely a clean separation between different client environments. You also have the functionality of role-based access controls, and DoiT gives us structured client reporting across the environment. I rely on the deep cost analysis and the multi-tenant management model the most in my day-to-day work because being an MSP, we manage multiple customers and work in a multi-tenant environment. DoiT provides a clear separation between different client environments. I also have a governance feature of control so we are able to restrict different users from accessing different environments they were not authorized to. The cost breakdown feature gives a detailed analysis of the environment. DoiT has positively impacted my organization by improving overall client retention through savings, which has helped us move from reactive billing support to proactive optimization. It has helped us structure quarterly reports showcasing quantifiable impact and has really enabled our value-add FinOps advisory services. Since I started using DoiT, it has increased the commitment coverage. We are able to handle more accounts and have achieved 15 to 30% cost optimization opportunities across different areas.

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.

Pros

"DoiT has positively impacted my organization by improving overall client retention through savings, which has helped us move from reactive billing support to proactive optimization."
"Helps us get the most out of the hardware we have in place."
"When it comes to cloud costs, to VMs, the solution is saving us about $30,000 a month."
"Working with Turbonomic is incredible."
"With a high memory contention environment Turbonomic has been invaluable in maintaining excellent performance across all of our clusters."
"The Turbonomics team is always looking for ways to improve their product."
"Turbonomic is helpful in generating a variety of reports, which in most cases act as the baseline for maintenance activities that we carry out within our virtual environment."
"Automation options for moving and resizing VMs as necessary have been crucial for our environment's performance."
"VMTurbo Operations Manager has given myself and my staff more time to focus on other projects and tasks as well as improved overall performance of the virtual environment."
 

Cons

"I think DoiT can be improved because it is not as strong in Microsoft Azure as compared to AWS."
"The graphical interface could be better."
"Turbonomic needs to find how to have the appliance OS up to date. Per our security tool, it has missing patches."
"Can't wait for the new GUI (which is due soon) as the old interface can be difficult to navigate."
"The product needs tighter integration points with storage vendors, the mainstream top 5-6 are added but it would be nice to see more."
"Initial setup was complex to get reports we wanted."
"Licensing for clusters with few VMs (i.e. HA focus over consolidation focus)."
"When upgrading prior versions, I sometimes lost prior performance data. Even support was not able to retrieve it."
"The arithmetic of optimizing the resources of VMs based on the workload. Some of workload are by a monthly basis. Need to consider the month-end or quarterly-end workload."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"What I can advise is to trial the product, taking advantage of the Turbonomic pre-sales implemention support and kickstart training."
"Licensing is per socket, so load up on the cores rather than a lot of lower core CPUs."
"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."
"When we have expanded our licensing, it has always been easy to make an ROI-based decision. So, it's reasonably priced. We would like to have it cheaper, but we get more benefit from it than we pay for it. At the end of the day, that's all you can hope for."
"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."
"I consider the pricing to be high."
"Price is a big one. VMTurbo was very competitively priced."
"It is an endpoint type license, which is fine. It is not overly expensive."
