Why we love Turbonomic
What do you like best about the product?
The best feature of Turbonomic is workload automation. Using this we are able to automate rightsizing of production workloads. This works immediately for on-premise workloads and can be scheduled for out of hour for Cloud and disruptive resizes (resize down on-premise for example).
Additionally, the ability to plan workload migrations between on premise locations or to public cloud is extremely useful to ensure the success of migrations and clearly visualise costs associated with that activity.

What do you dislike about the product?
Scheduling of workloads in public cloud requires additional effort over and above that for on premise workloads and could be made simpler.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Initially we reduced physical on-premise infrastructure with our first deployment with produced an ROI within 3 months of deployment. As we matured with the deployment and invested in a public cloud use cases we were able to make significant savings (more than £200,000 per year) on our cloud running costs using the workload resizing capabilities of Turbonomic.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Run a POC in your environment as the tool will show results within 24-48 hours of setup which will most likely provide all the evidence you need of its value.
Turbonomic
What do you like best about the product?
The wide range of things this product can do. From reporting on the performance of an environment, to automating the migration of VMs, to planning workload migrations, to planning deployments, the list goes on and on!
What do you dislike about the product?
When they upgraded to a new version, they dropped several built-in dashboards. Although you can still login to the old interface and access them, I'd like the dashboards to be available in the new version as well.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I keep finding new things that I can gather information for. From finding out when I'm going to need to add resources to an environment, to planning a workload migration from one datacenter to another, or even automating the vMotion of VMs to better balance a cluster. Great tool!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The best application to let automation control your critical virtual workload.
Turbonomic is my virtual co-worker

The lack of late night outage calls now that all of our systems resources are better allocated.
What do you dislike about the product?
I forget it's there and have not spent enough time with the Web UI.

The 2,000 VM's spread across our forty Cisco UCS servers now uniformly utilize 70% of available resources. Our two-man administration team no longer receive outage calls in the middle of the night. Our SLA's with our customers are now reasonably attained.

Learning curve, mostly with the user interfaces. The descriptions don't always match the tasks.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Reducing waste is one of the problems we are using Turbonomic for. Other uses include planning and projections. This is a huge asset to us when planning moves, etc.

I don't have to worry about the environment efficiency anymore.
What do you like best about the product?
Turbonomic does exactly what is says it does. No frills, no gimmicks, it just works.

Turbonomic keeps me from having to hire another employee to manage our VMware environment. We've saved an entire person's salary in the first year using Turbonomic.
Great tool for environment analysis and automation
What do you like best about the product?
I like the way it can predict the utilization of your environment and tell you when you can expect to have to add resources.
What do you dislike about the product?
In an environment that is experiencing a lot of resource contention, the autonomic functions can run much more often than standard DRS and cause many vMotions, causing potential issues in the environment.

Capacity Planning
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This is a great tool. Their algorithm for balancing a vSphere Environment is much better than standard DRS. Just make sure you test it out before you roll it into production. :)
