Cisco UCS Manager Reviews

Unification of storage as well as networking and compute and defining them with software (SDDC) are valuable features.

The best product in the market for Cloud business -- CAPEX and OPEX -- will be reduced.

Complete integration of the network, and the Nexus layer management and configurations could be improved.

We've used it for over five years.

Initial configuration of FlexPod due to the knowledge limitation.

We faced issue with Nexus vem licensing issue which makes our complete DC went isolated in connect

Scalability wise it was very nice, it would be good if the maximum limitation of chassis for the FlexPod is changed from 32 to 64 – which allows more scalability for the business

It's very good.

It's very good.

No previous solution used.

It was complex due to a limitation in our knowledge.

Through a vendor who had good expertise.

It has a good ROI comparatively to all other products/solutions.

IBM infrastructure with a Microsoft solution.

I strongly recommend that you go with a Cisco UCS solution for a cloud business.

I am using Cisco UCS Manager for managing our entire ecosystem for Cisco products.

I can quickly manage the provisioned servers.

Its user interface can be improved. It can be more user-friendly.

I have been using this solution for three years.

It is really stable.

Their technical support is pretty good.

Its initial setup is straightforward.

It provides a return on investment.

I would rate Cisco UCS Manager a nine out of ten. It is a very useful product. 

I have experience with Cisco InterSite, but only for a proof of concept (POC). I used it to demonstrate its functionality to our clients.

Creating UCS service profiles for quickly deploying servers and replicating that configuration to another server makes it easier for deployment.

There are options that could make configuration and administration easier. Improving functionalities similar to InterSite within UCS Manager would be beneficial.

The initial setup is really easy. I deployed an infrastructure with about eight hosts in maybe six hours. This includes installing the chassis in the rack, installing the blade, and making connections.

I performed the deployment activities physically, including configuration. I usually handle these tasks alone.

Cisco is the most expensive compared to other vendors like Dell and HP when it comes to data center solutions.

I'd rate the solution nine out of ten.
