Overcoming complex deployment has improved cloud cost control and automated security checks
We have been using Hyperglance for quite a while now, but the features which I personally feel are my personal favorites are that it supports a multi-cloud environment. It can work over Azure, AWS, GCP, and Kubernetes APIs for management unification. Apart from that, it also provides good real-time visualization, interactive diagrams, and dependency mapping for all the resources, which is a great thing. If we are able to map the dependencies at the right time, we are able to identify any issues. It also helps us to automate the recommendations for cost savings, trend analysis, and anomaly detection, which is again a great thing. Codeless automations for fixing common issues and optimizing resources is again a great feature of Hyperglance.

Helps visibility, bridges the data gap, and frees up time
We use IBM Turbonomic in a hybrid cloud environment. Although it supports multi-cloud capabilities, we currently operate in a single-cloud setting. Turbonomic offers visibility into our environment's performance, spanning across applications, underlying infrastructure, and protection resources. The visibility and analytics help to bridge the data gap between disparate IT teams such as applications and infrastructure. This is important for awareness collaboration, cost saving, and helping to design and improve our application. Enhanced visibility and data analytics have contributed to a significant reduction in our mean time to resolve. Tools like Turbonomic provide crucial visualization and insights, empowering us to make data-driven decisions instead of relying on assumptions as we did before. This newfound transparency translates to a massive improvement, going from complete darkness to having a clear 100 percent view of the situation. Although our applications are not optimized for the cloud we have seen some improvement in response time. IBM Turbonomic empowers us to achieve more with fewer people thanks to automation. Previously, customers frequently contacted us requesting resource increases to resolve issues. Now, we have a tool that allows us to objectively assess their needs, leading to a deeper understanding of our applications. This solution also generates significant cost savings in the cloud and optimizes hardware utilization within our data centers. Its AI algorithm intelligently allocates servers on hosts, maximizing efficiency without compromising performance. By fine-tuning resource allocation without causing performance bottlenecks, Turbonomic extends the lifespan of existing hardware, postponing the need for new purchases. This effectively stretches our capital expenditure budget. We started to see the benefits of IBM Turbonomic within the first 60 days. IBM is a fantastic partner. Their tech support has been outstanding, and the product itself is excellent - a very solid offering. By automating resource management with Turbonomic, our engineers are freed up to focus on more strategic initiatives like innovation and ongoing organizational projects. Previously, manually adding resources was a time-consuming process that interrupted workflows. Now, automation handles scaling efficiently, saving us thousands of man-hours and significant costs. It has illuminated the need for SetOps. It has highlighted areas of overspending, and the actions we've taken have demonstrated significant cost savings. IBM Turbonomic has positively impacted our overall application performance. IBM Turbonomic has helped reduce both CAPEX and OPEX. It has also significantly reduced cloud build times.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Hyperglance has helped us to save on the cost of cloud through waste reduction, saving around 38% in cloud cost, improving work efficiency with real-time compliance checks by around 78% time saving, and enhancing visibility while automating the fixing of costly misconfigurations and security breaches, which further boosted our ROI on system failures and technology breaches."

"Hyperglance has helped us save on cost, improve efficiency, and reduce manual work while enabling real-time compliance checks with very good features."
"Hyperglance has helped us save on cost, improve efficiency, and reduce manual work while enabling real-time compliance checks with very good features."
"Hyperglance: Up to 5000 Resources [Pay as you go] provided a visual representation of our cloud resources and usage, showing which EC2 instances were underutilized or overprovisioned, and recommended resizing the instances based on actual usage, which led to a reduction of 30% to 35% in cloud spending."
"Hyperglance has helped our team replace the piecemeal solution and tedious manual documentation we used to do, providing automation for compliance and cost optimization, proving to be a time saver and directly reducing cloud waste."
"It is a good holistic platform that is easy to use. It works pretty well."
"The feature for optimizing VMs is the most valuable because a number of the agencies have workloads or VMs that are not really being used. Turbonomic enables us to say, 'If you combine these, or if you decide to go with a reserve instance, you will save this much.'"
"We have a system where our developers automate machine builds, and that is constantly running out of resources. Turbonomic helps us with that, so I don't have to keep buying hardware. The developers always say, "They don't have enough. They don't have enough. They don't have enough," when they just configured it improperly. Therefore, Turbonomic helps us identify configuration issues on their side so it doesn't cost me money on the other end to buy resources that I don't really need."
"The primary features we have focused on are reporting and optimization."
"The ability to monitor and automate both the right-sizing of VMs as well as to automate the vMotion of VMs across ESXi hosts."
"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."
"The automation and orchestration components are definitely the best part, as you can tell it what it can do and when, and just let it be."
"We have seen a 30% performance improvement overall."
 

Cons

"The learning curve can be a challenge for new users, which is something that can be improved."
"The learning curve can be a challenge for new users, which is something that can be improved."
"The current limitations in Hyperglance: Up to 5000 Resources [Pay as you go] are heavily focused on cloud environments and may not offer the same visibility in hybrid infrastructure."
"The cost for small businesses is the main concern."
"The initial deployment of Hyperglance requires configuration, network access, and permission for cloud APIs, which can be complex for large, multi-account environments."
"The initial deployment of Hyperglance requires configuration, network access, and permission for cloud APIs, which can be complex for large, multi-account environments."
"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."
"The implementation could be enhanced."
"The deployment process is a little tricky. It wasn't hard for me because I have pretty in-depth knowledge of Kubernetes, and their software runs on Kubernetes. To deploy it or upgrade it, you have to be able to follow steps and use the Kubernetes command line, or you'll need someone to come in and do it for you."
"There is room for improvement [with] upgrades. We have deployed the newer version, version 8 of Turbonomic. The problem is that there is no way to upgrade between major Turbonomic versions. You can upgrade minor versions without a problem, but when you go from version 6 to version 7, or version 7 to version 8, you basically have to deploy it new and let it start gathering data again. That is a problem because all of the data, all of the savings calculations that had been done on the old version, are gone. There's no way to keep track of your lifetime savings across versions."
"Additional interfaces would be helpful."
"Turbonomic can modernize the look and feel, making it more user-friendly to access and obtain information."
"The old interface was not the clearest UI in some areas, and could be quite intimidating when first using the tool."
"Before IBM bought it, the support was fantastic. After IBM bought it, the support became very disappointing."
 

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."
"The pricing is in line with the other solutions that we have. It's not a bargain software, nor is it overly expensive."
"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's worth the time and money investment if you can afford it."
"I have not seen Turbonomic's new pricing since IBM purchased it. When we were looking at it in my previous company before IBM's purchase, it was compatible with other tools."
"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."
"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."
"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."
