"Cisco UCS Manager should have a simplified deployment in the sense of not having multiple machines, demilitarized zones, and on-premise options."
"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."
"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."
"I want to be able to schedule multiple sequential updates in one go."
"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.

"Getting a CLI report on routers, switches, or any other CLI configuration device is difficult."
"We have three data centers and if we could manage all three data centers using one interface, it would be great."
"Cisco UCS Manager is not a scalable solution because once you have 160 blades, it cannot be expanded more."
"I would love to be able to tell what ISP the user is coming from."
"Issues with generating reports; consistency is not there."
