Find out what your peers are saying about Zabbix, Datadog, Auvik and others in IT Infrastructure Monitoring."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."
"When one server fails, we can attach the service profile to a new server, which saves a lot of time."
"The hardware is very powerful and it is a stable solution."
"We can configure the Cisco UCS Manager, the profiles and interactions with the resource we manage."
"From a usability and functionality perspective, Cisco UCS Manager is very good."
"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 reporting functionality will give you any report you want."
"The most valuable features are flexibility and management."
"The product can scale."
"The automation within the solution needs to be simplified."
"Its user interface can be improved. It can be more user-friendly."
"Cisco UCS Manager should have a simplified deployment in the sense of not having multiple machines, demilitarized zones, and on-premise options."
"Cisco UCS is expensive compared to others. The Cisco UCS Chassis is more expensive than a standalone server, but some companies require standalone servers because of their production load and affordability. You need to pay more if you require more features on the Blade or if you need more ports on the switch."
"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."
"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."
"I would like to see Cisco UCS optionally work as a hyper-converged system because right now, it only operates as a converged system."
"I can't recall coming across any missing features."
