Cons
"There is room for improvement in the software part of Cisco UCS Manager. It should be more user-friendly, especially when creating policies.""I want to be able to schedule multiple sequential updates in one go.""Cisco UCS Manager is not a scalable solution because once you have 160 blades, it cannot be expanded more.""I found it a bit of a challenge to get training on UCSM. I've been trying to get that for some time now. I feel like I have to figure it out a lot of things myself. For years I've to log calls with support whenever I've got challenges that I cannot resolve. If I had some training or more manuals, I'd be better able to handle more things on my own.""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.""Getting a CLI report on routers, switches, or any other CLI configuration device is difficult.""The installation and upgrade sytems need to be improved."
