Overview
Turbo360 has five modules, each built for one job: controlling Azure cost, keeping applications healthy, tracking business transactions, documenting Azure, and managing Microsoft 365 licenses. This article lists what each module can do so you can match a need to the right module.
Business value
Knowing what each module covers helps you start with the one that solves your most pressing problem and spot gaps in your Azure and Microsoft 365 governance coverage.
How it works
Capabilities are grouped by module. Each module is configured on its own and can be used without the others. A few things apply to every capability:
- Each capability needs its module to be set up first. The quick start for each module is linked in the Product overview.
- Feature access within each module depends on your role.
- Some capabilities need specific Azure permissions on the connected service principal.
- Tenant Manager connects to Microsoft 365 tenants instead of Azure subscriptions.
- Capabilities are subject to the usage limits of your Turbo360 license.
- Azure Documenter covers a wide range of Azure resources, but some document types, such as Network Diagrams, are limited to specific supported resource types.
Cost Analyzer
Cost Analyzer helps you see where your Azure spend goes and cut waste.
- Cost visibility: View Azure spend across subscriptions, resource groups, and custom cost groups, filtered by tag, resource type, location, or time range.
- Budget management: Create budgets at any scope and get alerts as spend approaches or exceeds thresholds.
- Anomaly detection: Spot unexpected cost spikes with configurable detection rules.
- Optimization recommendations: Get rightsizing, reservation, savings plan, and schedule-based recommendations.
- Schedule automation: Define on and off schedules for Azure resources to cut idle spend.
- Reporting: Generate and share cost reports on demand or on a schedule.
Business Applications
Business Applications helps you group Azure resources into applications and monitor their health.
- Application grouping: Group Azure resources into logical applications, regardless of resource group boundaries.
- Health monitoring: Monitor application components with rule-based, query-based, API endpoint, and activity log monitoring.
- Alerting: Set escalation policies and get alerts when monitoring rules trigger.
- Service map: Visualize relationships between application resources.
- Automated tasks: Run actions such as start, stop, and restart on Azure resources, on a schedule or in response to events.
- Dashboards: View application and resource health in customizable dashboards.
Business Activity Monitoring
Business Activity Monitoring helps you track business transactions as they move through a business process.
- Business process tracking: Define business processes and track the transactions that flow through them.
- Transaction visibility: Query and inspect individual transactions, including their stages and payloads.
- Push and pull models: Ingest tracking data through the Turbo360 push API, or pull it from supported Azure data sources.
- Duration and exception monitoring: Get alerts when transactions exceed expected durations or hit exceptions.
- Reprocessing: Resubmit failed transactions from the Turbo360 interface.
Azure Documenter
Azure Documenter helps you generate documentation for your Azure subscriptions.
- Document generation: Generate structured documentation covering resource details, billing, security compliance, and architecture diagrams.
- Multiple document types: Choose from types such as executive summary, resource details, billing details, security compliance, and rightsizing recommendations.
- Scheduling: Generate documents automatically on a schedule you define.
- Export options: Export to PDF, Word, or Excel, or push to a Document360 knowledge base.
Tenant Manager
Tenant Manager helps you see and optimize Microsoft 365 license use across your connected tenants.
- License visibility: See who holds which license, which seats sit idle, and what they cost, across every connected tenant.
- Optimization recommendations: Find licenses you pay for but do not need, such as licenses held by disabled accounts or inactive users, with the estimated saving for each.
- Approval-based changes: Nothing changes in Microsoft 365 until an approver approves a task, unless you turn on an automation that removes licenses from disabled or inactive accounts.
- Alerts: Get alerted to disabled or inactive users who still hold a license, license seat shortages, expiring licenses, and expiring client secrets.
- Reporting: Send User, License, and Cost reports by email or notification channels as PDF or Excel files.
FAQs
-
Are all five modules included in every Turbo360 plan?
The modules included in a Turbo360 license are determined by the pricing plans purchased for each module. Any Azure module without an active paid plan continues to operate under the Free plan. Tenant Manager follows the license tier of your account instead. Its user limit appears on the License consumption screen. On commercial licensed accounts, you can set an alert for it in Settings > License consumption. If you need more users, upgrade your plan by contacting the Turbo360 team. -
Can I use Turbo360 capabilities via API?
Yes. Turbo360 exposes APIs for several capabilities in Cost Analyzer, Business Applications, Business Activity Monitoring, and Azure Documenter, including document generation, monitoring configurations, and service principal management. API keys can't be scoped to Tenant Manager. -
Does Turbo360 support multi-subscription environments?
Yes. You can connect multiple Azure subscriptions to a single Turbo360 organization and use capabilities across all connected subscriptions.
