Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The main feature of this solution is the integration with all the Cisco solutions and other vendors."
"Cisco's knowledge base is extensive."
"Overall, I think that this is a very good product, although nothing is perfect."
"The improvement for our organization has really been ease of use; we'd be a mess without the solution."
"As usual, the technical support from Cisco is amazing."
"Better visibility and better control are the main benefits people receive from Cisco UCS Director; the automation and the orchestration part, these three to four points are the key factors to decide on Cisco UCS Director."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the fabric sharing."
"Without UCS Director it wouldn't be possible for us to go from receiving shipments at a data center to having systems live in production in a matter of days, or sometimes hours, instead of waiting weeks."
"I have observed improvements in CI/CD infrastructure optimization, designing AI-native workloads, exploring pricing alternatives, and forecasting."
"Using InfrOS accelerates the process of migration planning and execution."
 

Cons

"The tool should be a lot more intuitive and make it easy for us to understand and migrate."
"The scalability of this solution needs to be improved because as it is now, you cannot scale the storage alone. Rather, you have to scale the storage and the compute together."
"The product could allow more programmatic opportunities through better development of the API."
"There could be an improvement with the integration with the newest solutions from other vendors' technologies."
"There are a lot of bugs in the solution. This is an area in the solution that can be improved."
"We cannot depend on this solution to manage all of the data center's infrastructure."
"It should be more of a cloud-based architecture for Cisco UCS Director, and it should be affordable to small customers as well because the pricing is a major challenge when we talk about Cisco UCS Director."
"Normally, UCS Director is used primarily for orchestration, but when we look at a non-Cisco data infrastructure components, the UCS Director needs a bit more improvement in terms of integration with third-party systems and with existing older systems."
"I would really like to have features that will help me analyze my usage on existing environments in the cloud and suggest architectural optimization improvements."
"There is room for improvement in the Github connection."
