Gain visibility into Kubernetes clusters and optimize resource allocation based on historical data
I think they should focus more on Kubernetes features that allow on-the-fly resource allocation without the need to restart services. They should implement this in their autoscaler to make it more useful in scenarios that require immediate scaling up or down. They should also offer more options for visualizing graphs in different ways, such as tabular views.

Centralized dashboards have optimized multi-cloud costs and improved financial governance
VMWare Tanzu CloudHealth is a powerful cloud management platform, but there are areas for improvement. I would prefer to see more AI-driven insights that not only recommend optimization but also suggest automated remediation actions. Real-time cost synchronization could be faster, as billing data sometimes has delays. More customized dashboards and report templates would help teams tailor their needs better. Kubernetes cost visibility could be more granular for centralized workloads. Integration with ITSM and automation tools such as ServiceNow and Ansible could be enhanced. Simplifying initial onboarding and policy configuration would also improve the experience for new users. These enhancements would make the platform even more efficient for enterprise cloud operations. This tool is a mature and relevant cloud management platform with several areas that could be enhanced. I would prefer to see more advanced AI capabilities providing predictive insights and automated remediation for common optimization tasks. Better, faster synchronization of cloud billing and utilization data would enable near real-time cost monitoring. I want more customizable dashboards and executive reports tailored for different stakeholders such as FinOps, infrastructure, and management teams. Improving Kubernetes container cost visibility at the pod level is also necessary. I would prefer to see stronger AI-driven automation, faster real-time cost updates, more customizable dashboards, deeper Kubernetes cost visibility, enhanced DevOps integrations, and a simpler onboarding process as areas needing improvement. These enhancements would further increase operational efficiency and make the platform more valuable for enterprise cloud management.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"PerfectScale made our Kubernetes optimization effortless; it found wasted resources, lowered our cloud costs, and improved performance almost instantly."
"The cluster and workload autoscaler gives us the ability to have control over all the workloads' resources instead of managing them one by one."
"Automated resource optimization using different policies based on the environment enabled the organization to achieve infrastructure cost savings."
"We use dashboards quite heavily, but one of the features that have really stood out is some of the policies we've created to alert us of particular situations."
"Customers do utilize a security and compliance framework with VMWare Tanzu CloudHealth because larger institutions won't move forward without it, and they choose VMware to ensure a tested and foolproof secure environment that complies with regulatory standards such as VMware Cloud Foundation with its trust policies, making it quite good."
"The product is easy to use in terms of monitoring all the environments. It works for multiple clouds."
"Compared to AWS, the historic data on CloudHealth is a lot more helpful."
"The most valuable thing I have found is the cost saving recommendations."
"With this, we have right-sized many instances, removed many unused EBS volumes, and unused Elastic IPs, and in that way, we have cut around 20% of cost."
"This solution is fast and very easy to understand, even if you are not a technician."
"The pricing is rather competitive right now."
 

Cons

"At the beginning, the support was not very impressive."
"I think they should focus more on Kubernetes features that allow on-the-fly resource allocation without the need to restart services."

"Apptio Cloudability has better granular visibility of data that is missing in CloudHealth."
"Some companies may not be capable of affording this product."
"I would like to see better integration from CloudHealth to create an easier setup and implementation."
"Real-time cost synchronization could be faster, as billing data sometimes has delays."
"CloudHealth doesn't have that capability; they can't reach down to that level right now."
"VMWare Tanzu CloudHealth can improve by introducing real-time cost visibility and alerting so that we can better act on that."
"If you are working with the OS you need help and other connectors to get more information."
