Find out in this report how the two IT Infrastructure Monitoring solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We can configure the Cisco UCS Manager, the profiles and interactions with the resource we manage."
"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."
"From a usability and functionality perspective, Cisco UCS Manager is very good."
"Cisco UCS Manager is overall a good package because it gives a GUI interface and a CLI."
"I can quickly manage the provisioned servers."
"Cisco UCS has different layers of security, and you can do multiple installations of your LIAMs on top of the server and Blade. You can install VMware, Windows Server, Hyper-V, etc."
"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."
"Cisco Infrastructure is one of the top vendors and no one can beat them in terms of switching and routing."
"I am satisfied with the overall product since it works well…It is a stable solution."
"What was very compelling about OpsView was that we could dial out the noise and have meaningful and actionable alerts."
"We use this solution for internal monitoring our own cloud platform because we are a public cloud provider. We also use it for monitoring purposes on behalf of our clients."
"The most valuable feature of Opsview is the ability to clone the services when you're monitoring something out of the test setup."
"It's a good solution. It covers all aspects of monitoring purposes."
"In the next release, I would like to see improvements made to their security."
"The installation and upgrade sytems need to be improved."
"The interface and the way it is constructed is very complex. They should work to simplify it. It's quite difficult for somebody who doesn't know the product very well. Users should be able to get proficient with it faster. There's definitely room for improvement there."
"Cisco UCS Manager is not a scalable solution because once you have 160 blades, it cannot be expanded more."
"The automation within the solution needs to be simplified."
"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."
"Getting a CLI report on routers, switches, or any other CLI configuration device is difficult."
"Its user interface can be improved. It can be more user-friendly."
"Pricing and a few certain aspects in the solution needs to be improved."

"Some of the graphics on Opsview could be improved."
"Customized reporting can be improved."
"Maybe the graphical representation can be improved. It can be enhanced for better visualization. It could be a little better. And the graph center can be improved."
