When viewing a list of workloads, there is no way to sort or filter them. Specifically by status.

When viewing a list of workloads, you have to keep clicking More, More, More to get to the bottom of the list where Idle resources usually sit. Sort and filter options don't yield a viable way to display a subset of workloads (Active, Idle) or (Re...

Allow a way to Save As New a copy of an existing group, schedule or policy object

Allow for a group, policy, or schedule to be duplicated. Save As New. Keep all current settings allowing the user to first edit the one variable that needs to change and then save to create it. This would significantly speed up the scoping pre-wor...

Turbonomic should be able to Suspend SQL Managed Instances

Turbonomic has suspend already for VMs and RDS servers. What about SQL MI? The customer would save on compute costs - but of course still have to pay for storage, etc.

Error alerting for mandatory field when populating any form

If a required field isn't filled out such as group/policy name or required field such as policy scope isn't selected. It doesn't direct the user towards the problem. Maybe a red highlight or prompt near the Submit button to point them as to what e...

Currently the Minimum Observation Period max is 7 days. (you may need a couple weeks or month minimum to stabilize a workload). The Max Observation Period jumps from 30 days to 90 days. A happy medium in between like 45/60days would probably help ...

Group Creation - Reduce the list of filter values based on previous filter criteria already applied

When creating a group, a filter is added and list of workloads identified updates in real-time to show applicable systems fitting that filter criteria. However, when adding the next filter type such as Tags, i.e. Application, and clicking the drop...

Fix consistency of Action Essentials between entity types

Currently other entity types such as RDS and EBS show whether downtime is required or not but EC2 does not provide this warning. Currently the State says "Action can be accepted and executed immediately." which may be misleading to someone not pay...

Add Tag as a consistent search/filter option when looking at any list of resources

When in Workloads, Actions, or Search, add a filter type of Tag to allow for adhoc filtering a list down to a subset. This functionality exists in the group creation, but not anywhere else in the UI. Most common areas of need are Search, Workload,...

The plan function should include migration of SQL Managed Instances from on prem to the cloud.

These are very expensive entities - and the ability to estimate costs would be good. Also important, some customers use the exported plan as an input into a semi-automated migration process. So being able to include SQL machines in the planning fu...
