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."
"From a usability and functionality perspective, Cisco UCS Manager is very good."
"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 UCS Manager is overall a good package because it gives a GUI interface and a CLI."
"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."
"Cisco Infrastructure is one of the top vendors and no one can beat them in terms of switching and routing."
"Ease of management is certainly the most valuable feature in this product."
"The flexibility and the ease in which the features can be expanded are the solution's most valuable aspects."
"Power packs."
"Best feature of all is detailed monitoring of services, processes, ports and SSL certificates and or web content."
"I'm satisfied with ScienceLogicfor for what they can offer today because they can offer both serverless connectivity and agent connectivity."
"It is simple."
"It has good monitoring capabilities across cloud environments, data centers, and hybrid environments."
"Provides agentless monitoring so there's no need to install the agent on each server."
"The solution provides good infra-monitoring features."
"The best feature is the highly flexible graphs."
"Cisco UCS Manager is not a scalable solution because once you have 160 blades, it cannot be expanded more."
"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."
"Upgrading the firmware is a difficult procedure."
"There is room for improvement in the software part of Cisco UCS Manager. It should be more user-friendly, especially when creating policies."

"I found it a bit of a challenge to get training on UCSM. I've been trying to get that for some time now. I feel like I have to figure it out a lot of things myself. For years I've to log calls with support whenever I've got challenges that I cannot resolve. If I had some training or more manuals, I'd be better able to handle more things on my own."
"I want to be able to schedule multiple sequential updates in one go."
"ScienceLogic could improve the implementation, it could be made easier."
"The product must educate its strategic partners for deployment."
"They should add CLI command modes and scripts for high performance."
"One important area we feel could be improved is the UI. It takes a lot of clicks to do very simple tasks."
"From a performance perspective, it needs to improve a lot."
"The product's reporting functionalities have certain shortcomings, making it an area where improvements are required."
"We want to understand: how does the back end work? What if some problem occurs? What we can do? They need to provide more information."
