Serverless360 is a platform to manage and monitor Azure Serverless components related to enterprise integration. In a real-time scenario, the integrated cloud applications are not built with a single technology stack, it typically involves at least 3 or 4 different Azure Services. Currently, Azure Portal is designed more on vertical technology silos and it's difficult to visualize and manage such connected solutions. So Serverless360 is presented by the vendor as a tool that users can depend on…N/A

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.

They have very transparent and reasonable pricing. Out of all the cost management tools our team has investigated, Serverless360 stands out for providing the most advantageous and efficient features that aid us in tracking expenses according to specific customers, features, or services. It’s ability to spot the cost spike is commendable.

Pros
  • Standardising the environment by enforcing use of updating templates.
  • Show the difference on a profile between what has changed and what setting was last deployed.
  • Perform bulk deploy operation on profiles (like server profiles).
  • Policies underpin all settings (e.g. no more defining individual VLANs before being able to use them, or having to clean them up manually when they are no longer in use. You deploy a Domain VLAN policy that states which VLANs are configured on a domain (either standalone) or a domain profile template (if domains profiles are bound to an updating domain profile template).

  • Detect and fix issues on production servers faster.
  • Monitors and optimizes API performances.
  • Significantly reduced time to spend on manual entries and troubleshooting.

Cons
  • It is difficult to spot an added or removed VLAN in an Ethernet Network Group Policy or VLAN Policy. The comparison widget will show you that something has changed, but if you have 100s of VLANs, the difference does not stand out. Workaround: we copy the data out and compare it in a text editor.
  • If you are transitioning from UMM to IMM, you lose some functionality like vNIC redundancy pairs.
  • It is not easy to map the UMM version 4.x server firmware version to the equivalent IMM version 5.x firmware version.
  • It is not possible to configure out-of-band management IP addresses on a per-domain basis. You have to configure these ranges via an IMC Access policy (which contains the IP address range/pool) on the server profile. This leads to "server profile template sprawl" where we have to maintain multiple server profile templates since our domains sit on different ranges, even though the servers are for the most part configured identically.
  • UCS domains in IMM only support one Ethernet Network Group Policy (VLAN group) per vNIC template.

  • The main benefits of Serverless360 is it eases troubleshooting of Azure Pass applications with a log database,
  • With Serverless360's service Map functionality our major burden of holistic view was cured
  • we could understand the health of all the resources in one dashboard.

Been using Cisco Software as a service (SaaS) platform in a production environment for a large medical and health professionals that has critical healthcare and patients care dependency.
Support team is very helpful getting system updated as needed, and vendor support is fantastic. Also get a dedicated Cisco networking engine to review and advise system health and recommendations.

Usability
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.)

Turbo360 (formerly Serverless360) is the best software intelligence tool out there in market saving us time as it is easy to see data instantly. The software provides business and traffic data information helping our organization make scalability decisions.

If you have bigger problems with the on-prem version, the support team is sometimes a bit slow in their reactions and you have to keep going, to get your help. But finally, all problems, that we have addressed, have been resolved to my full appreciation!

Our organisation has some experience with Dell OME (the centralised management plane for Dell PowerEdge server, equivalent to Cisco Intersight Infrastructure Service and UCS Manager, but not enough to contrast the two or say why one is better than the other.

We choose Serverless360 over others because it is tailor-made for Serverless application on Azure. It provides deeper insights and more granular control specifically designed for Azure Services . Its interface is optimized for Serverless environments making monitoring and management tasks easier. Additionally, Serverless360's pricing structure and customer support were also factors in our decision-making process

Return on Investment
  • The negative thing is that we prefer to use the UCS Manager in our company because this bare metal is integrated into the FI and no extra appliance is required. SaaS is generally not viewed favorably in Germany.
  • Telling the user that they have to buy Intersight licenses even if they use UCS Manager annoys our customers.

  • Provides us with a full view of azure territory.
  • It monitors and speedily fixes incidents in azure apps minimizing time spent on troubleshooting.
  • We can synch two different environs with different authentication rules.
