When an action execution is blocked by relative actions, user should be able to see the list of all those relative actions (possibly as a dependency chain)

When the action execution is blocked by relative actions, i.e with status "Action execution is blocked by related actions on this entity or destination entity." , as a user I don't have an easy way to find out which other actions are causing the b...

Automatic Snapshot Removal

Snapshots are often taken and forgotten in the environment. They cause both unwanted storage use and performance issue to VMs if left around too long. Would like to be able to create an automation to remove\consolidate snapshots for groups based o...

Dollar value for on-prem scaling - just like Cloud. Each action has a saving/cost to it.

The customer would like Turbo to put a price tag on each action. They want to be able to tell how much adding vMem or vCPU or a combo. to a VMware VM costs. The customer is aware that it depends on a bunch of things (cost/hr of host, cost/hr of da...

The customer would like the ability to create an "Actions" widget in their dashboard to showcase the action executed for a particular business unit. We created groups for these business units in Turbo based on customer tags but that scope is not supported in the "Actions" widget

Being able to showcase actions executed on the basis of a business group would allow for more friendly competition within departments to get a "better turbo score" and track their individual teams progress.

Group membership should be easily visible for each VM

When I look at a VM I can see an overview, details, policies, actions. I would like to be able to see what groups the VM is part of in this same view. Having to go into reports to find the groups for a VM is not a good user experience. Thank you.
