Find out what your peers are saying about Zabbix, Datadog, Auvik and others in IT Infrastructure Monitoring."The most valuable feature of this solution is the fact that it sends me canned reports. It's easy to use and easy to update."
"The interface is ergonomic and native. We can use UCS Manager to do all the configurations for the servers, including storage, networking, and all the other components we need inside the fabric. It's simple and flexible."
"The hardware is very powerful and it is a stable solution."
"What I like most about Cisco UCS Manager is the ease of administration. It also allows the central management of maintenance, installation, and configuration activities."
"I can quickly manage the provisioned servers."
"When one server fails, we can attach the service profile to a new server, which saves a lot of time."
"The reporting functionality will give you any report you want."
"Ease of management is certainly the most valuable feature in this product."
"We can configure the Cisco UCS Manager, the profiles and interactions with the resource we manage."
"I would like to see improved index shifting."
"The integration with other solutions could be better. I think Cisco can only integrate using Intersight. There is a second interface available as a SaaS platform, in the cloud, or on-premise. It's based on the Redfish protocol, which is standard for all the B-series servers in the market. We can integrate other solutions using API."
"The solution's pricing is high and could be reduced."
"Cisco UCS Manager is not a scalable solution because once you have 160 blades, it cannot be expanded more."
"The installation and upgrade sytems need to be improved."
"Cisco UCS is expensive compared to others. The Cisco UCS Chassis is more expensive than a standalone server, but some companies require standalone servers because of their production load and affordability. You need to pay more if you require more features on the Blade or if you need more ports on the switch."
"Upgrading the firmware is a difficult procedure."
"What's lacking in Cisco UCS Manager is the performance dashboard. If a blade has any performance issues, you should be able to create a dashboard on Cisco UCS Manager. Currently, this feature isn't present."
"In the next release, I would like to see improvements made to their security."
