Gain visibility into Kubernetes clusters and optimize resource allocation based on historical data
I think they should focus more on Kubernetes features that allow on-the-fly resource allocation without the need to restart services. They should implement this in their autoscaler to make it more useful in scenarios that require immediate scaling up or down. They should also offer more options for visualizing graphs in different ways, such as tabular views.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The cluster and workload autoscaler gives us the ability to have control over all the workloads' resources instead of managing them one by one."
"This solution is fast and very easy to understand, even if you are not a technician."
"We are able to create an internal price of the product that we can then sell to clients. We get the cost plan at a good discount and then resell it with a mark up to our enterprise-level clients. This flexibility in pricing is one of the solution's best features."
"The most valuable thing I have found is the cost saving recommendations"
"The pricing is rather competitive right now."
"We use dashboards quite heavily, but one of the features that have really stood out is some of the policies we've created to alert us of particular situations."
"It's stable. For report presentation, it's been fast."
"The solution is good for cloud cost management."
"The product is easy to use in terms of monitoring all the environments. It works for multiple clouds."
 

Cons

"I think they should focus more on Kubernetes features that allow on-the-fly resource allocation without the need to restart services."
"The performance and accuracy of Cloud Health need to be improved."
"The export features regarding CSV files and specifically around identifying savings plans have room for improvement, as well as the drill-down features for reservation utilization."
"It would be helpful to have a mobile version or a tablet version, especially for people who are outside of the office."
"CloudHealth needs to start building out Turbonomics-types of features that help the customers who are using CloudHealth really understand everything down to the server level, the virtual machine level."
"The Perspectives feature could be better."
"The solution doesn't offer the best functionality, unfortunately. Some features just simply aren't on offer. The solution needs to offer more product milestones."
"I would like to see better integration from CloudHealth to create easier setup and implementation."
"If you are working with the OS you need help and other connectors to get more information."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The pricing is competitive and while other products are good they are considerably more expensive."
"I give the cost of the solution an eight out of ten."
"The licensing fees depend on how big the company is. If you are a larger company then you have a better contract with a better price. The price is different for a small company."
"CloudHealth has a subscription-based model."
"There could be flexibility in pricing for the product."

Questions from the Community

What needs improvement with PerfectScale?
At the beginning, the support was not very impressive. There were some mistakes in the documentation, such as how to exclude a workload from automation.
What is your primary use case for PerfectScale?
I used PerfectScale to gain insight into the workload and then optimized the resource allocation through manual configuration or automated allocation. By doing so, I was able to achieve Kubernetes ...
