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."
"Right sizing our environment saves us money by not having to purchase additional hardware."
"Turbonomic has definitely helped to save human resource time and cost involved in monitoring and optimizing our estate; it has automated a lot of things and we have saved 30 to 35 percent in human resource time and cost, which is pretty substantial."
"Automation, policies, and reports have made a lot of previously manual work now either more efficient or completely automated."
"Improvements for performance or growth can be executed without human interference."
"The most valuable feature would have to be the out of box automation of VM placement."
"This has been a set-it-and-forget-it solution that does a great job but is behind the scenes."
"It has helped us to show real resource usage in order to justify or deny application owner requests for additional resources, and has helped us to rightsize our VMs to reclaim wasted CPU, memory, and disk space so we can avoid additional hardware procurement."
"We see increased speed in our environment as VM's are moved based on needs and requirements."
 

Cons

"I think DoiT can be improved because it is not as strong in Microsoft Azure as compared to AWS."
"UI is still maturing. The UI is relatively easy to use but still does not have that professional look to it."
"The implementation could be enhanced."
"They could add a few more reports. They could also be a bit more granular."
"Interface and navigation can be a challenge if you do not spend a lot of time with it."
"More Azure features are needed."
"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."
"Turbonomic needs to find how to have the appliance OS up to date. Per our security tool, it has missing patches."
"The solution could be improved by having all interfaces together and I'd really like to see more interfaces."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"It's worth the time and money investment if you can afford it."
"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."
"I'm not involved in any of the billing, but my understanding is that is fairly expensive."
"If you're a super-small business, it may be a little bit pricey for you... But in large, enterprise companies where money is, maybe, less of an issue, Turbonomic is not that expensive. I can't imagine why any big company would not buy it, for what it does."
"IBM Turbonomic is an investment that we believe will deliver positive returns."
"The pricing is in line with the other solutions that we have. It's not a bargain software, nor is it overly expensive."
"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."
"What I can advise is to trial the product, taking advantage of the Turbonomic pre-sales implemention support and kickstart training."
