We performed a comparison between Cisco UCS Manager and Opsview based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."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."
"Ease of management is certainly the most valuable feature in this product."
"The reporting functionality will give you any report you want."
"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."
"Cisco Infrastructure is one of the top vendors and no one can beat them in terms of switching and routing."
"We can configure the Cisco UCS Manager, the profiles and interactions with the resource we manage."
"The flexibility and the ease in which the features can be expanded are the solution's most valuable aspects."
"The solution is highly scalable, mainly because of the templates that make it easy for you to actually edit on the system."
"What was very compelling about OpsView was that we could dial out the noise and have meaningful and actionable alerts."
"The most valuable feature of Opsview is the ability to clone the services when you're monitoring something out of the test setup."
"I am satisfied with the overall product since it works well…It is a stable solution."
"It's a good solution. It covers all aspects of monitoring purposes."
"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."
"Cisco UCS Manager is not a scalable solution because once you have 160 blades, it cannot be expanded more."
"Getting a CLI report on routers, switches, or any other CLI configuration device is difficult."
"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 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."
"I want to be able to schedule multiple sequential updates in one go."
"Upgrading the firmware is a difficult procedure."
"The pricing can be better."
"The solution's pricing is high and could be reduced."
"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."
"Customized reporting can be improved."
"In a future release, we would like to have Observ for AI. Any AI and intelligence it can add to the monitoring is obviously beneficial. We would also like to have automated callouts."
"Pricing and a few certain aspects in the solution needs to be improved."
"Some of the graphics on Opsview could be improved."
