Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""When one server fails, we can attach the service profile to a new server, which saves a lot of time.""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.""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.""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.""The management is one of the most valuable features of this solution.""We can configure the Cisco UCS Manager, the profiles and interactions with the resource we manage."

"Real-time alerting is a very important feature. We need alerts for everything. We have alarms setup and get alerts through email or third-party integrations depending on what's happening – critical VMs, high CPU usage, security concerns."

Cons
"Upgrading the firmware is a difficult procedure.""Getting a CLI report on routers, switches, or any other CLI configuration device is difficult.""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.""Cisco UCS Manager should have a simplified deployment in the sense of not having multiple machines, demilitarized zones, and on-premise options.""The installation and upgrade sytems need to be improved.""In the next release, I would like to see improvements made to their security.""I would like to see Cisco UCS optionally work as a hyper-converged system because right now, it only operates as a converged system.""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."
