Tthe shoftware worked fantasticyl but the support that we recieveed was the highlight of it all! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The issues that we had with this project have been internal stakeholder managment issues, Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The reporting capabilities of Densify are easily my favorite features. Single-pane-of-glass view of all of your infrastructure, on-prem and in the cloud, across multiple vCenters, and cloud accounts (or multiple clouds). This is the easiest way to get rich reporting for apps that span these different platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The UI can be a bit sluggish sometimes. Developers are always improving performance, but we have a very large environment and it can bog down even the most robust reporting tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the fact that Densify gathers CloudWatch metrics and then uses their engine to analyze CPU/Memory usage and ensures that we are using the appropriate instance type based on those needs. Densify has also worked with me for customization of our account to allow for some business specific needs. They also took some of my input and inserted it in to the main product for all their customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are some features that would be beneficial, especially the ability to "snooze" recommendations based on a period of time. This would help our environment because we have a pretty predictable busy season and sometimes recommendations are made that would be considered invalid to us Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Comprehensive, single pane of glass user interface across cloud providers. Backend API integration to automate instance recommendations. Focus on Microservices cost inefficiencies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes service is redundant to existing solutions. Support for spot instance pool selection. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The product is excellent at providing complete and detailed recommendations to rightsize various cloud instances. However, my experience with their account team has been the most beneficial as we have needed some specialized reports, and they immediately sprinted to getting them in their roadmap.

The downside of Densify is the loading of their UI. It tends to be unresponsive or has a long latency. We have mainly switched our use to focus on the API and creating our UI endpoint for customers. In addition, we would love to see more services offered for optimization! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Can breakdown utilization figures of different components of your hosts to extreme detail; analyse trends easily to optimise infrastructure and plan for future demand.

Nice dashboard for high-level view of environment.

Good Support team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

No issues to report, any functionality/missing item that is not available initially can be discussed with the Densfy support team in order to be added in a later iteration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Densify uses actual historical data of workloads to establish a model for each workload and works out the optimum resources needed to run that workload. Using the Densify models, you can right-size the workloads and get more efficient placement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Much of the data generated is presented in the GUI and not really available outside the GUI. It is also not easy to look at views of data at specific points in time because Densify is focused on what the current position is and how that will trend in the future.

WOULD LIKE TO SEE BUTTONS THAT CAN TAKE ACTIONS DIRECTLY FROM THE APPLICATION Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The most underrated and most useful feature is the reporting capabilities. We haven't found any other tools that can give us the level of granularity in reporting that can aggregate multiple vCenters, multiple AWS accounts, multiple Azure subscriptions all in one place. Also the ability to slice and dice filters and views based on any attribute (OS, utilization, custom tags, cluster, owner, etc) makes this a go-to for questions regarding inventory, utilization, or cost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The UI can be a bit sluggish. It's improved over time, but I still find myself waiting for several seconds (or longer if it's a large report) for a screen to come up. To be fair, we do have an extremely large number of nodes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Responsive, knowledgeable, willing to listen and work through requests/problems to meet customer requirements. Go over and above to exceed expectations Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Policies are complex and difficult to understand at times within the product Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
