On a scale of 1 to 10, I would rate Cisco UCS X-Series a 10. I chose 10 for my rating because I appreciate Cisco's setup, ease of management, centralized dashboard, analytics, and ecosystem integrations. It was purchased through a VAR. My advice to others looking into using Cisco UCS X-Series is to purchase what is necessary for your environment and don't try to look too far ahead because Cisco provides options that can be upgraded and scaled when needed.

I do not have experience with email security and secure web gateways products, and I cannot remember searching for something like that. I have done research on email security and secure web gateways, so I am not dealing with any of these. Maybe some colleagues have dealt with it, but I am not dealing with any network security products. I am dealing with Cisco servers but not with networks. I am referring to M-Series blade servers, not rack servers. I am speaking about the blade server series, not C-Series, but M-Series. I am speaking about Cisco UCS X-Series, the blade servers. I do not know how many people are using it in my company now. Cisco servers are popular in my region. I have been a customer of Cisco. I would give this review a rating of nine.

We do not let Cisco address the specific challenges that we face with hybrid and distributed enterprise networks. Cisco UCS X-Series optimizes the experience in a hybrid or distributed enterprise setup by streamlining the entire experience, whether it is getting support or getting anything set up from the start. What stood out to me during the evaluation process of coming into Cisco UCS X-Series is that the positive aspect is that once you understand it, everything is simple. The negative aspect would be the learning curve; it takes a little time to get there. I would rate this product 9 out of 10.

Cisco optimizes the experience in a hybrid or distributed enterprise setup, though I do not know how that would apply to my environment. I do not know in what way the end-to-end visibility offered by Cisco is referring to. My experience with pricing, setup, and licensing has been good. The pricing is what it is. If you are committed to a product, in our case Cisco, it would have to be a drastic price increase for us to get off of Cisco because once you get acclimated to a product line, you do not necessarily want to get off unless there is a really good reason. The pricing has been good; I would say it is competitive with other hardware vendors. I rate this review an 8 out of 10.
