What do you like best about the product?
Turbonomic does exactly what is says it does. No frills, no gimmicks, it just works.

The new user interface. I think it is terrible. I want the old VMturbo user interface back.

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.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
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. :)

Cost savings on the cloud
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Its the best cloud cost saving provider out there
Simple, Easy way to cut your cloud cost by at least 50%
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of use and the way savings happen automatically once all is set up.
What do you dislike about the product?
Frankly, really nothing to complain about. It just works, simple and easy.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Cloud cost is a real issue - specially for a start-up that is looking to save money, but, I can imagine it is an even bigger problem for big companies.
An "in house solution" is not something we can do (probably most companies cannot) - so, ParkMyCloud was the easiest way to keep our cost down with minimal effort on our end.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Really easy to use, just set it up and get going with the savings.
We find ParkMyCloud to be a "fire and forget" solution, once it is set-up the savings just happen.

No issues with scalability as the VM when deployed is provisioned well for your environment.
