Allow for CPU Increment Size in vCPU Scaling Controlsto be extrapolated from "Change" field

We, like many customers, require the ability to increment by 2 (avoid odd number of cores) regardless of scaling control type. Currently, the tool only allows for that to be adjusted if we change "Virtual CPU". We need more granularity in ways we ...

The VMware Target should have the check box just like the Dynatrace Target (Collect Tag Information)

Right now if the same tag comes in from VMware and the APM target you're going to get duplication. Let the customer decide if they want the duplication. I recommend that the default value is YES. The other option is to have smart logic choosing wh...

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...

Allow ability to not actually suspend hosts, but put them in a state where no VMs will be placed on them

The way that our infrastructure is set up does not respond kindly to host suspend/power off actions, but we want to be able to densify our current environment. We'd like the ability to enable "suspend host" such that we can operate efficiently on ...

Add support for Amazon DynamoDB (Turbonomic)

Many of our customers (including potential customers) use AWS Dynamo DB, and the support for it is the key to Turbonomic's penetration to the Japanese market and customers' higher satisfaction. Your prompt cooperation to our idea would be highly a...

Enable Multi Resource Graphing to have the option of going over 100% so that vCPU which can peak to 150% or more can provide context for rightsizing.

It used to be that the multi-resource graph went above 100% but some customers didn't like that. So it was capped at 100%. This customer though sees big value in seeing when those peaks happen for proper context on rightsizing decisions and troubl...

Plan results shall include all commodities (e.g. IOPS) relevant for the resulting sizing

When running a plan, especially a hardware refresh plan, you cannot see the reasoning for the resulting number of hosts if the reason is a commodity like IOPS not displayed in the plan results. Therefore, please display all commodities (e.g. IOPS)...
