Considered Both Products	Cisco Intersight Infrastructure Service Verified User Manager Chose Cisco Intersight Infrastructure Service I personally think that Cisco Intersight Infrastructure Service is at the top of its class when it comes to managing data center hardware.

Wijitha (Vijita) Samantha Ranawaka Senior Network Engineer Chose Cisco Intersight Infrastructure Service Since Cisco Intersight Infrastructure Service is cloud-delivered, there is a great deal of flexibility found in this platform, including the ability to manage infrastructure from anywhere at any time. Cisco is also able to continually upgrade, modify, and enhance this platform, … Helpful? Daniel Aramayo Ingeniero de Soporte e Implementacion Chose Cisco Intersight Infrastructure Service I think that intersight is a more mature product, with little to no installation overhead. Its interface is easier to use. Also features workload optimization and vulnerability advisories that are not present in cloud forms. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Employee Chose Cisco Intersight Infrastructure Service I really dont have a true comparison as we have just started down the path of managing our datacenters with Intersight vs UCSM. I can see where Intersight has a better/easier UI in terms of the workflow to create polices/templates ect. Incentivized Helpful? NB Nathan Bullock IT Operations Manager Chose Cisco Intersight Infrastructure Service When we compared it to our existing solution for managing our compute platforms we needed multiple tools to accomplish what we were able to accomplish with Cisco Intersight. We needed a tool just to manage our chassis/blade infrastructure, another to manager our SANs and then … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Engineer Chose Cisco Intersight Infrastructure Service We compared this to the Dell offering of something similar and it was no contest. With Dell all the firmware, package management, updates, etc are all managed with separate products. You're tasked with building you own repositories of software, drivers, and firmware and … Incentivized Helpful? Joacim Wicander Senior Data Center Engineer Chose Cisco Intersight Infrastructure Service I don't know of any product that is competing with Cisco Intersight, so I haven't been able to do a comparison. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Engineer Chose Cisco Intersight Infrastructure Service We use the Dell OpenManage product previously when we were using Dell servers. Cisco Intersight has much more capabilities than Dell OpenManage had in the past. I haven't used any other product lately which would allow me to compare the features. We use What's up gold for … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Administrator Chose Cisco Intersight Infrastructure Service Intersight can be used to monitor and not make changes, which is great because we want manual updates at times, not automatic updates. Helpful? Verified User Administrator Chose Cisco Intersight Infrastructure Service Best in the market. Helpful? BB Benjamin Bubbers Systems Engineer Chose Cisco Intersight Infrastructure Service I do not know any other software that is bringing the same abilities as Cisco Intersight if you have a Cisco-orientated Datacenter as we do. Helpful? Verified User Engineer Chose Cisco Intersight Infrastructure Service While it has the downside of being limited to just Cisco equipment, it does that VERY well and the free tier version is good enough for most cases. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Professional Chose Cisco Intersight Infrastructure Service Intersight does not require any on-prem infrastructure deployment. No need to worry about patching or updates to any appliances or software. Other solutions must constantly be deployed and maintained by IT staff. Incentivized Helpful? Wouter Hindriks Technical Team Lead Network & Security Chose Cisco Intersight Infrastructure Service There's no other product that integrates this closely with Cisco hardware. Incentivized Helpful?

User Testimonials
	Cisco Intersight Infrastructure Service
Likelihood to Recommend	Cisco Cisco Intersight is very well suited for doing firmware upgrades across all of your cisco hardware. So far we have had no problems pushing out new firmware. It's also well suited for hardware management. Cisco TAC has the ability to pull logs for the IMC for themselves, which saves you from having to pull the logs yourself and then uploading them to the case. It may or may not be appropriate for upgrading operating systems. I have not been able to test it. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	Cisco Ease of implementation of our UCS-X Platforms Ease of Management Cross visibility to our Data Center Infrastructure (Network, Storage, Compute) Ability to Automate our configurations Ability to create profiles for better consistency and standardization Incentivized NB Nathan Bullock IT Operations Manager Read full review
Cons	Cisco Interface is quite slow Interface tree (navigating between server, profile, blade, chassis, FI, etc) is counterintuitive and needs more links in the tree Deploying minor changes takes much longer than in UCSM or UCSC Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	Cisco We use it every single day and love the ease of it and the integration of all our servers BB Benjamin Bubbers Systems Engineer Read full review
Usability	Cisco Usability of Cisco Intersight is highly dependent on the licensing purchased. The default (free) license level provides a lot of value for the minimal amount of effort to implement. The paid license levels provide additional features (detailed inventory, configuration management and deployment, etc.) Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Support Rating	Cisco Support for this platform is unmatched. I've used only a couple of other platforms, honestly, but Cisco Intersight's support system really works, and they do a great job. Any issue I've had was solved in a timely manner with a polite representative who cared about helping me and not just plainly reading off of a script that doesn't actually help. I rate it well.

Alternatives Considered	Cisco I personally think that Cisco Intersight Infrastructure Service is at the top of its class when it comes to managing data center hardware. The cloud-connected design feels very modern and easy to use. The mobile app is something I wouldn't expect to get in a server management tool. The way it can update, monitor, and manage our servers is very nice. Overall, we are very happy with it. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Return on Investment	Cisco It is positive for a few people being able to manage a lot of hardware It does put the management in the cloud, which some could argue is a security vulnerability. It is difficult to move hardware from Intersign managed to standalone. Verified User Anonymous Read full review
