I really appreciate the ease of use and the frequency of use—it’s become part of our daily workflow. The number of features is impressive, and the platform’s recommendations make resource management much simpler.

One thing I find a bit challenging about IBM Turbonomic is that there can be a learning curve for new users. It’s very powerful, but it takes some time to fully understand all the features and how to get the most out of them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best about IBM Turbonomic is its ability to automatically analyze real-time application demand and continuously make resource allocation decisions without manual intervention. It doesn't just generate alerts—it takes action based on policies, helping maintain performance while reducing overprovisioning and unnecessary cloud costs. The platform provides deep visibility across hybrid and multi-cloud environments and integrates seamlessly with tools like Kubernetes, VMware, Azure, and AWS. This level of automation and insight drastically improves operational efficiency and service reliability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While IBM Turbonomic is powerful, there are a few areas where it could improve.

First, the user interface can feel overwhelming—especially for new users or teams without prior AIOps experience. Navigating through dashboards and interpreting all the metrics can require a learning curve.

Second, while the platform offers strong automation, customizing those policies or integrating with external systems often needs scripting or more advanced configuration, which may not be ideal for less technical users.

Lastly, the pricing structure may not scale well for smaller organizations or teams with limited IT budgets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While IBM Turbonomic offers powerful optimization capabilities, the initial setup and integration can be complex, especially in large, multi-cloud environments. The learning curve for new users is somewhat steep, requiring time to fully understand and trust the platform’s automation recommendations. Additionally, the user interface, while functional, could be more intuitive and modernized to enhance overall usability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
