Infrastructure as code has standardized multi-environment provisioning and reduces manual work

The best features I found most useful in IBM HashiCorp Infrastructure Lifecycle Management are reusable Terraform modules, infrastructure as code with version control, and automated provisioning across environments. I also appreciate the plan and apply workflow because we can review infrastructure changes before deployment and maintain a clear history of what changed. I rely most on the infrastructure as code feature because it gives us a consistent way to manage infrastructure through version-controlled configuration. It also makes changes easier to preview, reproduce, and roll back compared with making changes manually in the cloud console. One thing I wish I had understood earlier regarding the features is the importance of designing Terraform modules and state management properly from the beginning. I also find the integration with CI/CD and policy controls valuable because it helps us enforce standards without adding too much manual work. IBM HashiCorp Infrastructure Lifecycle Management has mainly improved consistency and reduced the time needed to provision and update infrastructure. We have also seen fewer configuration issues because changes go through a standardized version control process instead of being handled manually.

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

"Before using Terraform, our team used manual setup to create clusters in AWS using the AWS console, which would extend into two to three sprints for one person to set up all those components, and with Terraform and those reusable modules, we were able to minimize it to two to three days with all verifications included."

"IBM HashiCorp Infrastructure Lifecycle Management has positively impacted my organization as it has been very beneficial for us for quick provisioning of infrastructure since I have been using it for the last two years."

"IBM HashiCorp Infrastructure Lifecycle Management has positively impacted my organization by significantly reducing manual infrastructure work."

"Overall, IBM HashiCorp Infrastructure Lifecycle Management has been a practical solution for standardizing infrastructure management and reducing manual provisioning work."

"With Turbonomic, we can scale a production (or proposed) use case based on normalized real data, and know exactly the horsepower it will need."

"Technical support is where Turbonomic shines."

"We are happy with Turbonomic."

"Turbonomic has been excellent in keeping us running smoothly."

"We really take advantage of the PLAN feature, as forecasting and planning resources is imperative for effective and efficient operations management."

"Customer Service: Great. Always very helpful, above and beyond most companies."

"The software is very cost effective, especially in comparison to other products."

"I like the dashboard; I don't have to search around or create reports for issues or items I should be looking at, as it all just comes to the front."

Cons

"IBM HashiCorp Infrastructure Lifecycle Management can be improved with easier onboarding, as newcomers to Terraform and the HashiCorp ecosystem may find it challenging to understand and complete the workflow."

"One area for improvement in IBM HashiCorp Infrastructure Lifecycle Management would be making the initial setup and learning curve simpler, especially around Terraform state, modules, and workspace management."

"For platform teams, I would appreciate an easier way to manage changes across a large set of accounts and clusters."

"I feel it is not a perfect ten because, as of now, I am using only the open source version where I have encountered some tricky options, and I still require some AI contribution while creating infrastructures; as of now, it is very hard-coded and involves other manual tasks, which is why I am choosing eight, not ten."

"We would like to see VMTurbo develop more application-specific modules that give us additional visibility into the end-user experience."

"Certain versions have had glitches in the past but they've usually been fixed or patched within a matter of days."

"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."

"The issue for us with the automation is we are considering starting to do the hot adds, but there are some problems with Windows Server 2019 and hot adds. It is a little buggy. So, if we turn that on with a cluster that has a lot of Windows 2019 Servers, then we would see a blue screen along with a lot of applications as well. Depending on what you are adding, cores or memory, it doesn't necessarily even take advantage of that at that moment. A reboot may be required, and we can't do that until later. So, that decreases the benefit of the real-time. For us, there is a lot of risk with real-time."

"We would like to see more integration with storage platforms."

"The planning and costing areas could be a little bit more detailed. When you have more than 2,000 machines, the reports don't work properly. They need to fix it so that the reports work when you use that many virtual machines."

"An option to remove unlicensed features from the dashboard would be welcome."

"The GUI and policy creation have room for improvement. There should be a better view of some of the numbers that are provided and easier to access. And policy creation should have it easier to identify groups."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"I know there have been some issues with the billing, when the numbers were first proposed, as to how much we would save. There was a huge miscommunication on our part. Turbonomic was led to believe that we could optimize our AWS footprint, because we didn't know we couldn't. So, we were promised savings of $750,000. Then, when we came to implement Turbonomic, the developers in AWS said, "Absolutely not. You're not putting that in our environment. We can't scale down anything because they coded it." Our AWS environment is a legacy environment. It has all these old applications, where all the developers who have made it are no longer with the company. Those applications generate a ton of money for us. So, if one breaks, we are really in trouble and they didn't want to have to deal with an environment that was changing and couldn't be supported. That number went from $750,000 to about $450,000. However, that wasn't Turbonomic's fault."

"In the last year, Turbonomic has reduced our cloud costs by $94,000."

"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."

"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."

"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 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 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."
