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.
"The reporting functionality will give you any report you want."
"It is more robust than other solutions. So, the stability is good."
"The hardware is very powerful and it is a stable solution."
"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."
"The solution is highly scalable, mainly because of the templates that make it easy for you to actually edit on the system."
"Cisco UCS Manager is overall a good package because it gives a GUI interface and a CLI."
"The most valuable features are flexibility and management."
"The management is one of the most valuable features of this solution."
"The most valuable features are the composable structure, infrastructure, and automation."
"It monitors all our servers, and if there is any problem it straight away sends us an alert. If It's a faulty component, we can see it from there. It sends an alert."
"Just the ability to provision the servers with storage and network everything within one interface, not having to go into multiple interfaces to provision those pieces."
"Easy to add servers and get them monitored and manageable."
"It is very stable. We have had no downtime nor issues in approximately a year. "
"Profile templates: The ability to generate the profiles and lay them down so the servers are built consistently. I would say that's probably the biggest piece of it."
"Administration-wise it's going to be easier. More smooth and more flexible."
"We have the dashboard up on a big screen, and you can actually see when things go wrong or if there are any faults with any of the servers. The backup is automated as well, so the appliance is quite good."
"Upgrading the firmware is a difficult procedure."
"The solution's pricing is high and could be reduced."
"Getting a CLI report on routers, switches, or any other CLI configuration device is difficult."
"In the next release, I would like to see improvements made to their security."
"We have three data centers and if we could manage all three data centers using one interface, it would be great."
"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."
"Its user interface can be improved. It can be more user-friendly."
"The installation and upgrade sytems need to be improved."
"The main problem that we run into, as far as stability goes, is when something loses its profile. Sometimes it requires jumping through a number of "hoops" to really get it back."
"I would like to see support for things that aren't in the current generation. We have a lot of 7th and 8th generation hardware."
"It needs more reporting capabilities."
"The interface is a bit bland. It does its job, but it could have a better interface."
"The solution could add storage, integration services, and end-to-end support for Cisco switches or other competitor products."
"The network configuration part of HPE OneView needs improvement. The solution has way too many features, and there's a need for proper configuration indicators to be put in place."
"It's a little slow sometimes. Overall, I think it does what it's supposed to do. I think that as they evolve it, it'll get quicker."
"Integration could be improved. Sometimes OneView doesn't identify physical hardware."
