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."
"The biggest value I'm getting out of VMTurbo right now is the complete hands-off management of equalizing the usage in my data center."
"Turbonomic gives us insight and assurance that we are meeting operational targets."
"Customer Service: Excellent Technical Support: The support team at VMTurbo is so quick in responding."
"On a quarterly basis we take the VM right-sizing report and, based on the Turbonomic recommendation, we make the changes to resources."
"Less downtime due to small issues becoming big because we didn't see them, and the VMs are running at their optimal performance."
"I like Turbonomic's automation and AI machine learning features. It shows you what it can do, but it can also act on recommendations automatically. Integration with an APM system makes the AI/ML features truly effective. Understanding what the application is doing and the trends of application behavior can help you make real-world decisions and act on that information."
"It is like we hired a junior system admin that works 24 hours a day to keep our environment in top form."
"Customer Service: Very cool. Technical Support: Very cool. We got online demo from the technical support and much assistance in operations."
 

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."
"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."
"Like any software I use, I'm looking for the least amount of clicking needed to get to places. If I need to click 10 different windows to get a report, I'm done with the software."
"Recovering resources when they're not needed is not as optimized as it could be."
"Planning tools could be easier to use. Depending on your needs, it can be time consuming to get what you want."
"The new HTML5 version is not as user friendly as I had hoped."
"It does take a while to figure out their way of doing things."
"Certain versions have had glitches in the past but they've usually been fixed or patched within a matter of days."
"Finding help can be difficult if needed."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"I'm not involved in any of the billing, but my understanding is that is fairly expensive."
"When we have expanded our licensing, it has always been easy to make an ROI-based decision. So, it's reasonably priced. We would like to have it cheaper, but we get more benefit from it than we pay for it. At the end of the day, that's all you can hope for."
"IBM Turbonomic is an investment that we believe will deliver positive returns."
"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."
"It's worth the time and money investment if you can afford it."
"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."
"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."
