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."
"Customer Service: Excellent Technical Support: The support team at VMTurbo is so quick in responding."
"The solution has a good optimization feature."
"With Turbonomic Operations Manager we automated all virtualization infrastructure (Hyper-V, vSphere, XenServer) with one unique management console and we save our CAPEX working with a plan inside of Operations Manager when we change hardware by lifecycle or when we have new projects with capacity planning."
"Customer Service is excellent; I have yet to open a ticket and not have my problem looked at right away, and 99% of the time, the issues were resolved right away."
"Great product! We were able to correctly size our VMs giving back CPU, memory, and storage capacity to be used in other projects."
"Turbonomic provides weekly and monthly reporting functions to our operations, giving management insight into how our virtual environment is doing in terms of efficiency and capacity."
"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."
"Immediate ROI was seen due to the reduced IT infrastructure CapEx."
 

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."
"Automatic upgrades that are hands off would be great, however the upgrades are pretty easy and take only a few minutes."
"Licensing for clusters with few VMs (i.e. HA focus over consolidation focus)."
"Regular upgrades and patching requires a period of getting used to the new environment before getting hands-on with the tool."
"The UI can be slow and occasionally hangs, requiring logging out and back in."
"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."
"Have plan data shared across user accounts within Turbonomic. Also more granular permissions."
"Can't wait for the new GUI (which is due soon) as the old interface can be difficult to navigate."
"vCenter integration. Would love to have the ability to manager the infrastructure within one window."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"It is an endpoint type license, which is fine. It is not overly expensive."
"I don't know the current prices, but I like how the licensing is based on the number of instances instead of sockets, clusters, or cores. We have some VMs that are so heavy I can only fit four on one server. It's not cost-effective if we have to pay more for those. When I move around a VM SQL box with 30 cores and a half-terabyte of RAM, I'm not paying for an entire socket and cores where people assume you have at least 10 or 20 VMs on that socket for that pricing."
"Licensing is per socket, so load up on the cores rather than a lot of lower core CPUs."
"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."
"IBM Turbonomic is an investment that we believe will deliver positive returns."
"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."
"I consider the pricing to be high."
