AI knowledge search has saved time and supports faster discovery across internal teams
Regarding CloudVerse AI's accuracy and reliability of output, I would say accuracy is generally good, especially when it's pulling from well-maintained internal documentation. For straightforward questions, we trust the answer most of the time, but if we're asking it to do something that's operationally critical, we still have a human review the output. We still see occasional cases where it hallucinates or misinterprets something, so that's why we have that double-check recommendation. If I had to put a number on it, maybe eighty to ninety percent of responses are useful on the first attempt, depending on the quality of the underlying data. One area CloudVerse AI can be improved is that accuracy can still be inconsistent depending on the source material. If the documentation is outdated, the AI can confidently return outdated information. That's not unique to CloudVerse AI, but it's something teams need to understand. I would also like to see better visibility into why certain answers were ranked higher than others. Better debugging and transparency on how the answers are generated would improve CloudVerse AI. When a response isn't quite right, it's sometimes difficult to understand why, or which source influenced the result the most. A few more out-of-the-box integrations would also help reduce setup effort during onboarding. The user experience is generally good, but power users would benefit from more advanced filtering and search controls.

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."
"The biggest positive organizational impact CloudVerse AI has had is the reduced time to discovery."
"I have the ability to automate things similar to the Orchestrator stuff. I do have the ability to have it do some balancing, and if it sees some different performance metrics that I've set not being met, it'll actually move some of my virtual machines from, let's say, one host to another. It is sort of an automation tool that helps me. Basically, I specify the metric, and if I get a certain host or something being over-utilized, it'll automatically move the virtual machines around for me. It basically has to snap into my vCenter and then it can make adjustments and move my virtual machines around. It also has some very nice reporting tools built around virtual machines. It tells you how much storage, memory, or CPU is being used monthly, and then it gives you a very nice way to be able to send out billing structure to your end users who use servers within your environment."
"Overall, Turbonomic has had a positive effect on our application performance, helping on many different levels, including toward the resolution of problems and even flat out preventing problems from happening in the first place."
"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."
"Improvements for performance or growth can be executed without human interference."
"Helped to “right size” productions server environment. We now can do more with less."
"It has saved us from buying lots of hardware that we would have bought if it weren't for Turbonomic."
"Easy to use central management of resources and report capabilities."
"Customer Service: Excellent. We largely don't have to touch the product which has led to us missing out on an occasional feature."
 

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."
"We still see occasional cases where it hallucinates or misinterprets something, so that's why we have that double-check recommendation."
"The planning and costing areas could be a little bit more detailed."
"They need an updated UI - perhaps HTML5? The dashboard could use a cosmetic update."
"We are looking forward to the HTML5 interface."
"UI is still maturing. The UI is relatively easy to use but still does not have that professional look to it."
"I don't like using Adobe Flash."
"One of the areas of improvement are the UI."
"The automation area could be improved, and the generic reports are poor. We want more details in the analysis report from the application layer. The reports from the infrastructure layer are satisfactory, but Turbonomic won't provide much information if we dig down further than the application layer."
"Turbonomic doesn't do storage placement how I would prefer. We use multiple shared storage volumes on VMware, so I don't have one big disk. I have lots of disks that I can place VMs on, and that consumes IOPS from the disk subsystem. We were getting recommendations to provision a new volume."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"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."
"I'm not involved in any of the billing, but my understanding is that is fairly expensive."
"In the last year, Turbonomic has reduced our cloud costs by $94,000."
"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."
"Price is a big one. VMTurbo was very competitively priced."
"Licensing is per socket, so load up on the cores rather than a lot of lower core CPUs."
"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."
