"The most valuable features of Cisco UCS C-Series Rack Servers are integration and customization."
"The server can be configured easily."
"It has centralized our server management and allows us to treat servers like a pool of resources instead of discrete devices."
"The hardware customization capabilities are great."
"The C-series is the most valuable."
"The most valuable feature of Cisco UCS C-Series Rack is the use of databases, such as MySQL."
"It is stable and easy to manage."
"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that it is more stable than AMD for VMware."
"It uses well known architecture and it's easy to develop for."
"The only thing I would change is to provide more proactive support."
"The price of the solution is problematic, not the solution itself. It could be less expensive."
"The solution needs more capacity and more scalability."
"I would like to see a little more integration with VMware."
"Some customers have complained about delivery time. So, the main weakness is the lead time."
"In the version we need to use, the manager is still reliant on a full Java install on a Windows OS. This is inconvenient and problematic if you have multiple management tools on different versions of Java or if you move to a machine without the appropriate Java environment."
"The product's stability and delivery time could be better."
"The hard drive of Cisco UCS C-Series Rack Servers is not very good. I have already replaced three of them."

"When you have an Intel Server System, the prices may be much higher since it is a different processor, making the solution's pricing part one of its shortcomings where improvements are required."
"We have to scale it ourselves but it scales. It depends on the software because it's mostly the hardware platform that Intel is managing."
