"The flexibility and the ease in which the features can be expanded are the solution's most valuable aspects."
"Ease of management is certainly the most valuable feature in this product."
"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."
"I can quickly manage the provisioned servers."
"It has scaled well for us."
"It reduces the amount of white noise. If something comes through, then it will alert somebody. However, if it's a bit of white noise that comes through at night, then it gets dealt with the next day. Everything is visible to everybody. It's not just a single person getting an SMS, then going, "Oh, I'm not going to worry about that." The visibility to everybody on the team is one of the great things about it because it reduces the white noise."
"PagerDuty's best features are the dedicated application that allows me to reach my engineers immediately and the ability to directly assign specific tasks to individuals and have them report back."
"The initial setup is a simple process."
"PagerDuty's notification process is the most valuable feature."
"PagerDuty is very stable and very reliable."
"The SMS pages and the mobile application are pretty much the top two features."
"The alerts are immediate in this solution, which allows us to respond to errors quickly."
"Getting a CLI report on routers, switches, or any other CLI configuration device is difficult."
"Upgrading the firmware is a difficult procedure."
"The automation within the solution needs to be simplified."
"There is room for improvement in the software part of Cisco UCS Manager. It should be more user-friendly, especially when creating policies."
"We have three data centers and if we could manage all three data centers using one interface, it would be great."
"The pricing can be better."
"Cisco UCS Manager should have a simplified deployment in the sense of not having multiple machines, demilitarized zones, and on-premise options."
"I would like to see Cisco UCS optionally work as a hyper-converged system because right now, it only operates as a converged system."
"The On-Call Teams feature could be better in terms of levels of conditions related to which team or member should get the responsibility of handling a matter or incident."
"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."
"I am not a direct end user of PagerDuty. It's hard to consider its shortcomings in that sense."
"The user interface could be more intuitive."
"PagerDuty could improve the event orchestration by enhancing features, such as easier condition setup inside the orchestration."
"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."
"This solution works best in conjunction with a proper logging system, which can be an additional cost to organizations."
"The solution's analytics are okay. I don't think the features, at this point, give you a lot of insights. We have actually been trying to get insights from it but it hasn't really given us a lot of extra points to explore. We were looking at the number of alerts to see where many of the alerts were coming from. We never managed to get many insights on this."
