We performed a comparison between Cisco UCS Manager and Moogsoft 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."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."
"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."
"When one server fails, we can attach the service profile to a new server, which saves a lot of time."
"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."
"We can configure the Cisco UCS Manager, the profiles and interactions with the resource we manage."
"The reporting functionality will give you any report you want."
"The most valuable features are flexibility and management."
"Moogsoft's most valuable features are event management, correlation, and observability."
"The solution is extremely helpful with correlating IP failures and it has a very good sort of flow chart of IP systems. For example, if you see a failure in system A, you can track it down to the system causing the issue. This is a very handy feature."
"The AI component allows you to check previous cases and diagnose problems easily."
"Moogsoft AIOps integrates seamlessly with 50-plus IT monitoring, automation, service management, notification, and collaboration tools. It also provides a great and easy-to-use interface for observing."
"The product currently seems to be a few steps ahead of the competition."
"I like the prediction features."
"Incident management is streamlined with Moogsoft. One standout feature is its unique situation-creation capability, differentiating it from other fault management tools. While other tools typically convert alarms directly into tickets or incidents, Moogsoft adds a middle layer where multiple alarms can be aggregated into one incident. Moogsoft's strong AI capabilities also allow it to correlate similar alarms automatically based on past experiences."
"There are AI features in Moogsoft. Moogsoft has one wonderful feature that allows you to convert multiple alarms into situations. Generally, all other MoM tools get the alarms, and then convert it into an incident directly. There is one extra layer they have added before converting any alarm into an incident. Suppose there are multiple alarms that are somehow all related to a single source of issue. It converts all the alarms into a single situation, which then gets converted into an incident."
"I would like to see Cisco UCS optionally work as a hyper-converged system because right now, it only operates as a converged system."
"Its user interface can be improved. It can be more user-friendly."
"Getting a CLI report on routers, switches, or any other CLI configuration device is difficult."
"The automation within the solution needs to be simplified."
"I want to be able to schedule multiple sequential updates in one go."
"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."
"There is room for improvement in the software part of Cisco UCS Manager. It should be more user-friendly, especially when creating policies."
"In the next release, I would like to see improvements made to their security."
"Some additional API interfacing would be great to enable getting the data out of AIOps programmatically."
"I would like to see more integrations. It is rather difficult to install the enterprise systems with the agents."
"I would like to see additional reports or information on the dashboard that includes metrics about CPU usage and memory."
"They are very much dependent on open-source technologies like RabbitMQ message bus. They are using open-source databases, Apache Tomcat, NGINX. If we face any issues with Apache Tomcat or the RabbitMQ message bus, then we do not get support from them. We have to troubleshoot it ourselves."
"Moogsoft is dependent on external products to do orchestration and SOP-based functionality."
"I would like to see how Moogsoft integrates with the multi-cloud and brings out a single pane of glass, to see everything on one screen."
"It is taking a long time to set it up and could do more to roll out quickly."
"They should consider including Chatbot."
