Optimizing user experience through comprehensive monitoring and real-time analytics
Citrix uberAgent Monitoring ( /products/citrix-uberagent-monitoring-reviews ) helps us optimize the end-user experience. It identifies slow applications, system bottlenecks, and offers network and latency analytics to detect network congestion and connection issues. It enhances the security of Citrix environments by providing valuable security insights. It integrates well with Splunk and Elastic Stack ( /products/elastic-stack-reviews ) to provide real-time analytics. Additionally, it is useful for tracking Citrix log-ons and determining where delays are happening.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Ease of management is certainly the most valuable feature in this product."
"The solution is highly scalable, mainly because of the templates that make it easy for you to actually edit on the system."
"For the blade architecture and ease of use, I consider Cisco UCS Manager the best option on the market at the moment."
"I can quickly manage the provisioned servers."
"The hardware is very powerful and it is a stable solution."
"I can deploy something in my 50-odd servers all in one go, in parallel, whereas if I was to do that individually, it could be a nightmare."
"A main feature of Cisco UCS Manager is its reliability, as all of the computing blades are in cluster mode."
"The most valuable features are flexibility and management."
"Citrix uberAgent Monitoring helps us optimize the end-user experience."
 

Cons

"Some settings are still fairly well hidden, even the basic ones."
"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."
"In the next release, I would like to see improvements made to their security."
"Getting a CLI report on routers, switches, or any other CLI configuration device is difficult."
"The pricing can be better."
"I want to be able to schedule multiple sequential updates in one go."
"I would like to see improved visibility into the operating system, enabling us to identify issues directly from the operating system itself."
"For improvements, while the current graphical user interface is satisfactory, it could be further simplified for different tasks."
"Citrix uberAgent Monitoring currently does not have its own database and requires dependency on products like Splunk or Elastic Stack for visualization."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"With product discounts which can be negotiated, the product is a great value."
"Cisco UCS Manager’s annual licensing fee is expensive."
"We need to take a license for each port, which amounts to a big sum."
"The pricing for Cisco UCS Manager is okay for its market, so it's a four out of five for me."
"Cisco UCS is more expensive than Dell and HP, but it is more reliable. I see less issues and it's quite stable."
"You buy the hardware and then you get Cisco UCS Manager for free."
