IBM SevOne Network Performance Management and Cisco UCS Manager compete in the network performance management category. IBM SevOne NPM appears to have the upper hand due to its superior real-time data capabilities and extensive device support.
Features: IBM SevOne NPM offers real-time data capabilities with one-minute polling, agentless monitoring, and extensive device support allowing full infrastructure visibility. Cisco UCS Manager provides consolidated management of network, compute, and storage, which simplifies overall system management but lacks the detailed network performance insights of SevOne.
Room for Improvement: SevOne could enhance data migration, reporting, and AI integration for analytics, along with improving UI simplicity and the upgrade process. Cisco UCS Manager needs improvement in the performance dashboard, firmware upgrade process, and user-friendliness, as well as better integration capabilities.
Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: IBM SevOne NPM offers hybrid and on-premise deployment options fitting various needs and ranks highly in customer service for its responsive and effective technical support. Cisco UCS Manager, despite robust on-premises deployment, requires greater technical expertise for installation and is seen as less accessible in customer service compared to SevOne.
Pricing and ROI: IBM SevOne NPM is notable for its flexible pay-as-you-grow pricing model and significant ROI by reducing labor costs and SLA penalties, integrating smoothly with existing systems. Cisco UCS Manager, although reliable with bundled offerings, has higher hardware and maintenance costs, which can be a barrier for smaller enterprises compared to SevOne.
