Transforms Cloud Resource Management Seamlessly
Reviewed on Nov 21, 2025
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
I love how IBM Turbonomic accurately analyzes workloads and provides clear, actionable recommendations. The automation is impressive because it manages resource adjustments in real time, eliminating the need for constant manual checks. I appreciate the visibility it offers across both cloud and on-prem environments, making performance and cost management much more straightforward. Its accurate workload analysis is invaluable to my work as it takes the guesswork out of resource planning, specifying exactly which VM, service, or application needs more or fewer resources. This feature minimizes unnecessary time spent on troubleshooting. I value the proactive approach of IBM Turbonomic, which prevents performance issues before they arise, thereby ensuring a more stable and cost-efficient environment. It’s this forward-thinking capability that truly increases the platform's value for me.
What do you dislike about the product?
One thing that could be improved in IBM Turbonomic is the initial setup and configuration; it can feel a bit complex for new users. Some dashboards also take time to get used to because there’s a lot of data to interpret. I’d also like to see faster syncing with certain cloud providers, as sometimes recommendations take a little time to reflect real-time changes. Additionally, more customizable alerts would be useful so I can fine-tune notifications based on specific workloads. A cleaner, more modern UI would make navigation simpler, especially for new users. Adding deeper integrations with third-party monitoring tools could make the platform even more seamless and reduce context-switching.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
IBM Turbonomic helps me maintain smooth application performance and control cloud costs by automating workload analysis and resource allocation. It reduces manual troubleshooting, enhances stability, and provides proactive cost management through real-time, actionable recommendations.
