Enhanced network oversight with rapid issue identification and good efficiency
We mainly use Cisco UCS Manager to integrate and manage our Cisco switches across the building. We also utilize it for network integration. It provides an integrated solution for our Cisco environment, streamlining our operations and managing multiple Cisco devices like switches and routers Cisco…
Michael Wenn - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides strong event correlation features, but its initial setup should be made easier
The solution's integrations are out of the box, and it is easy to integrate the tool with many technologies through its APIs. Moogsoft is always deployed on the cloud. Since it's a SaaS-based solution, it's cloud-delivered but also deploys to a hybrid or on-premises situation. The solution attaches itself to any environment size, but it's delivered via SaaS. The solution has room for improvement, but it's a pretty good technology. It does very well in delivering a big impact for businesses. Now, since it's owned by Dell and has the financial backing, it'll go from strength to strength. It's built by two very experienced co-founders who have used this type of technology before and were very much ahead of the curve. I'm still implementing the solution, and it is a platform that can deliver to something as big as HSBC. Overall, I rate the solution a seven out of ten.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"A main feature of Cisco UCS Manager is its reliability, as all of the computing blades are in cluster mode."
"The flexibility and the ease in which the features can be expanded are the solution's most valuable aspects."
"We can configure the Cisco UCS Manager, the profiles and interactions with the resource we manage."
"The reporting functionality will give you any report you want."
"The solution is highly scalable, mainly because of the templates that make it easy for you to actually edit on the system."
"When one server fails, we can attach the service profile to a new server, which saves a lot of time."
"The management is one of the most valuable features of this solution."
"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."
"Moogsoft AIOps integrates seamlessly with 50-plus IT monitoring, automation, service management, notification, and collaboration tools. It also provides a great and easy-to-use interface for observing."
"The product currently seems to be a few steps ahead of the competition."
"The Event Management feature is quite valuable."
"I like the prediction features."
"Moogsoft's most valuable features are event management, correlation, and observability."
"There are AI features in Moogsoft. Moogsoft has one wonderful feature that allows you to convert multiple alarms into situations. Generally, all other MoM tools get the alarms, and then convert it into an incident directly. There is one extra layer they have added before converting any alarm into an incident. Suppose there are multiple alarms that are somehow all related to a single source of issue. It converts all the alarms into a single situation, which then gets converted into an incident."
"The AI component allows you to check previous cases and diagnose problems easily."
"Moogsoft is easily deployable and ready to use."
 

Cons

"In the next release, I would like to see improvements made to their security."
"Getting a CLI report on routers, switches, or any other CLI configuration device is difficult."
"Upgrading the firmware is a difficult procedure."
"The automation within the solution needs to be simplified."
"The pricing aspect should be addressed."
"The integration with other solutions could be better. I think Cisco can only integrate using Intersight. There is a second interface available as a SaaS platform, in the cloud, or on-premise. It's based on the Redfish protocol, which is standard for all the B-series servers in the market. We can integrate other solutions using API."
"I want to be able to schedule multiple sequential updates in one go."
"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 would like to see how Moogsoft integrates with the multi-cloud and brings out a single pane of glass, to see everything on one screen."
"The documentation and flexibility for generic integration could be improved."
"The unsupervised learning algorithms in Moogsoft are valuable, but the learning processes, run book creation, and neural feedback areas could be improved."
"They should consider including Chatbot."
"The product roadmap doesn't align with our roadmap."
"It is taking a long time to set it up and could do more to roll out quickly."
"Some additional API interfacing would be great to enable getting the data out of AIOps programmatically."
"I would like to see more integrations. It is rather difficult to install the enterprise systems with the agents."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Cisco UCS is more expensive than Dell and HP, but it is more reliable. I see less issues and it's quite stable."
"We need to take a license for each port, which amounts to a big sum."
"The pricing for Cisco UCS Manager is okay for its market, so it's a four out of five for me."
"With product discounts which can be negotiated, the product is a great value."
"Cisco UCS Manager’s annual licensing fee is expensive."
"You buy the hardware and then you get Cisco UCS Manager for free."
"When compared to other solutions, it is quite good."
"As for pricing, Moogsoft recently updated their pricing model, and we're still evaluating it. It's an area where clarity is needed with the new alert-based pricing model."
"Moogsoft's licensing is consumption-based, so the price may increase depending on the environment."
"The solution is very good from a business impact point of view, but it's quite expensive because it's an enterprise-grade solution."
"It's a very cost-effective and competitive product."
