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."
"On-premises, one advantage I find particularly appealing is the ability to create policies for automatic CPU and memory scaling based on demand."
"Turbonomic can show us if we're not using some of our storage volumes efficiently in AWS. For example, if we've over-provisioned one of our virtual machines to have dedicated IOPs that it doesn't need, Turbonomic will detect that and tell us."
"The automation in Turbonomic is priceless, and all the dashboards, native or custom build, give a complete virtual and physical hardware performance view."
"Licensing cost is relatively cost effective."
"The automation and orchestration components are definitely the best part, as you can tell it what it can do and when, and just let it be."
"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."
"The system automatically sizes and moves resources based on the needs of the applications."
"Alongside the additional labor, we save approximately $4500/month."
 

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."
"Not quite used to the new UI."
"The UI could be improved."
"I think the web interface could be better, I know they are working on a new one so I'm looking forward to seeing the final product when its released."
"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."
"Occasionally the server does not load balance properly and needs to be restarted."
"It sometimes does get false positives. Sometimes, it will move something when it really wasn't a performance metric."
"Email alerts could be more comprehensive."
"Can't wait for the new GUI (which is due soon) as the old interface can be difficult to navigate."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Everybody tells me the pricing is high. But the ROIs are great."
"Price is a big one. VMTurbo was very competitively priced."
"It was an annual buy-in. You basically purchase it based on your host type stuff. The buy-in was about 20K, and the annual maintenance is about $3,000 a year."
"What I can advise is to trial the product, taking advantage of the Turbonomic pre-sales implemention support and kickstart training."
"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."
"IBM Turbonomic is an investment that we believe will deliver positive returns."
"I have not seen Turbonomic's new pricing since IBM purchased it. When we were looking at it in my previous company before IBM's purchase, it was compatible with other tools."
"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."
