Centralized analytics has improved real-time campaign reporting and accelerated dashboard insights
CelerData can be improved in several areas. I have identified issues where the transportation and documentation do not reflect the reality of the models, and I found data points issues related to bugs in the code, so for the open-source version, CelerData needs to be more consistent and reliable compared to the cloud version. Regarding CelerData's AI capabilities, I believe the governance and security need to be tested and integrated, and it is still too early in development to make a good determination. Concerning CelerData's AI capabilities, the accuracy and reliability of output depend significantly on the quality of log troubleshooting, which I believe is one of the most important parts.

Optimized cloud costs and automated right‑sizing have reduced spend while reporting needs improvement
The best features Densify offers are actionable optimization recommendations, which tell you how to reduce costs while maintaining performance; the ML-powered predictive analytics feature, which considers historical patterns to provide recommendations; multi-cloud coverage for optimization across AWS, Azure, and GCP; and a solid balance between performance and cost. Out of those features, I find myself relying on actionable optimization recommendations and predictive analytics features the most because Densify goes one step beyond by providing recommendations considering historical patterns, especially for workloads that only spike during certain times of the month. Densify has positively impacted my organization by providing significant cost savings through right-sizing and eliminating inefficient resources, allowing faster decisions based on data, and reducing manual intervention for cloud operations, thus providing automation of basic cloud routines. I usually see a twenty-five to thirty percent cost saving in my customer's environment, and from a time-saving perspective, it has almost halved the time of the operations team.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"CelerData has positively impacted my organization by providing faster response times on reports, especially for real-time data, and I am finally able to centralize all integrated data from different systems for dashboards and reporting."
"CelerData has positively impacted my organization because we improved the production of new analytics; we improved the production by 30%."
"I appreciate CelerData for the agility we have to ingest data."
"Our team members are now spending more productive time on other priorities and are handling much more effective tasks."
"The ability to increase server density inside of my environment, which has helped me drive reduction in costs."
"Densify were deemed to be the best for us at the time and they still are, for now."
"The Control Console is an incredible way to give a quick view of current capacity utilization allowing technical people to drill down quickly and allowing business/management people to get a quick overview of the environment."
"From my perspective, this product is really good, and we are not even using each and every feature."
"I usually see a twenty-five to thirty percent cost saving in my customer's environment, and from a time-saving perspective, it has almost halved the time of the operations team."
"The Densify Control Console, and Environment Status."
"We switched to Densify because it gave us a more complete end-to-end picture of the environment and really became the system of truth across all of our environments versus having to aggregate information from many dissimilar systems."
 

Cons

"I have identified issues where the transportation and documentation do not reflect the reality of the models, and I found data points issues related to bugs in the code, so for the open-source version, CelerData needs to be more consistent and reliable compared to the cloud version."
"Some parts of the interface are rather complex and require a bit of time to navigate, but this has never stopped us as a Densify advisor is readily available to help with our "how to" queries."
"A closer integration to the service management processes."
"Densify can be improved in a couple of areas: the learning curve for new users, where it feels like an advanced optimization tool that needs time for full leverage; enhancements in reporting and filter options for more detailed custom reports; and improvements in UI performance since some users feel that the UI is a bit slow or outdated, especially with certain interfaces such as the Kubex Console or the Cloud Decks."
"In terms of integration, the tool has great data. However, it's not always meaningful because the true business attributes of how most Fortune 500 companies operate are not maintaining in one tool, they're in a school of many tools."
"Unfortunately the tools and mechanisms which really came to maturity in the cloud, and were not mainstream on-premise, are still not implemented."
"The solution's stability is the primary concern for me."
"It seems that the mechanism for integration is, it goes so far but I think there could be some standard integration to normal remedy service now etc. I think that should be out of the box."
"Normalization of CPU utilization is required. At present, the data is available based on entitlement level."

"Cost is always involved, but then I feel that this solution is better than other products that we have."
