Find out what your peers are saying about Zabbix, Datadog, Auvik and others in IT Infrastructure Monitoring."The solution is highly scalable, mainly because of the templates that make it easy for you to actually edit on the system."
"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."
"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."
"When one server fails, we can attach the service profile to a new server, which saves a lot of time."
"I can quickly manage the provisioned servers."
"The reporting functionality will give you any report you want."
"The flexibility and the ease in which the features can be expanded are the solution's most valuable aspects."
"The most valuable feature of PagerDuty is its integration with other tools, such as Amazon AWS, to receive notifications or create automatic instances."
"The alerts are immediate in this solution, which allows us to respond to errors quickly."
"The most valuable feature is the phone app that allows us to send notifications without the additional fees when sending by SMS or phone calls."
"PagerDuty is very stable and very reliable."
"The inbound integrations that PagerDuty provides with most of the DevOps tools are valuable."
"A cool feature is that it helps us to understand the flow of the alert. If the alert was coming to the current on-call and he didn't catch the call or didn't notice it for any reason, it starts being escalated automatically, according to the escalation schedule, or to other teammates. You can see the flow very easily on your phone or via the website, if you want to do a post-mortem."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"PagerDuty let us set up rosters based on our shifts. We could assign a hierarchy for how the calls should be escalated and the number of times the call will be transferred between people before it is answered. It makes it easy to access an agent via mobile phone."
"Its user interface can be improved. It can be more user-friendly."
"Cisco UCS Manager should have a simplified deployment in the sense of not having multiple machines, demilitarized zones, and on-premise options."
"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."
"I want to be able to schedule multiple sequential updates in one go."
"The pricing can be better."
"What's lacking in Cisco UCS Manager is the performance dashboard. If a blade has any performance issues, you should be able to create a dashboard on Cisco UCS Manager. Currently, this feature isn't present."
"Upgrading the firmware is a difficult procedure."
"I would like to see more content in the notification messages; although, that might be a configuration on our end."
"PagerDuty can improve the integration with Terraform."
"It is a very non-customizable product, so you cannot add things like root cause analysis or the classification of incidents based on the area where you are getting more incidents. For example, if you're getting a lot of database issues, that may be an are you want to probe."
"It cannot be integrated with our upgraded Jira system."
"I am not a direct end user of PagerDuty. It's hard to consider its shortcomings in that sense."
"PagerDuty's webhooks need some improvement."
"Something that needs to be improved, is adding multilingual support."
"The product can be improved by including out-of-the-box integration with other standard tools used in our fields such as Confluence, and Jira."
