It's based on UCS, which offers its own level of complexity. But you generally don't need to deal with that complexity if you don't need to. It's management software is very easy to break. I somehow managed to completely break a node in our cluster by placing it into maintenance mode incorrectly. It only supports paid hypervisors. If you use other free/OSS hypervisors, look else where. It's frustrating and Cisco should support it.
