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.

Quotes from Members

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

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."
"We see increased speed in our environment as VM's are moved based on needs and requirements."
"The direct impact is that we decided to expand our platform and I needed specific numbers to see how a specific node would impact our environment, we were able to get specific reporting."
"This is an overall great and easy to use product and has been very helpful in our organization, definitely recommend it!"
"Turbonomic's ability to automatically load balance my storage and hosts has saved a lot of time."
"Turbonomic helps me maintain a lean operations team; what used to take half my day now is automated, and ROI on this is a no-brainer."
"Great product! We were able to correctly size our VMs giving back CPU, memory, and storage capacity to be used in other projects."
"Overall, from our organization's standpoint, the solution has helped to build our entire migration effort."
"Planning infrastructure needs for our virtual environment was previously a tedious task that included a lot of guesswork, and with Turbonomic we can now precisely model future workload and infrastructure supply to plan for growth."
 

Cons

"I think DoiT can be improved because it is not as strong in Microsoft Azure as compared to AWS."
"Training was a bit disjointed at first, but the second session was improved."
"The user interface is quite dated."
"I like the detail I get in the old user interface and will miss some of that in the new interface when we perform our planned upgrade soon."
"It was definitely more stable on-prem. The reason I say that is because we've had several times where we have run into licensing issues."
"It would be good for Turbonomic, on their side, to integrate with other companies like AppDynamics or SolarWinds or other monitoring software."
"Reports: Have a wider variety of canned reports ready to go."
"Interface needs to loose Flash completely and switch to HTML5."
"I am not a giant fan of the new interface. I still use the older interface."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"I consider the pricing to be high."
"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."
"We see ROI in extended support agreements (ESA) for old software. Migration activities seem to be where Turbonomic has really benefited us the most. It's one click and done. We have new machines ready to go with Turbonomic, which are properly sized instead of somebody sitting there with a spreadsheet and guessing. So, my return on investment would certainly be on currency, from a software and hardware perspective."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The pricing is in line with the other solutions that we have. It's not a bargain software, nor is it overly expensive."
