Find out in this report how the two Network Management Applications solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."What's most valuable in Cisco DNA Center is the ability to manage any Cisco infrastructure and device through it. Setup was straightforward."
"It is simple to manage and it is all done from a single dashboard."
"Application Assurance works very well."
"The product gives a consolidated view."
"It is a stable solution."
"I think that their LAN automation is a very good feature."
"It is very versatile in terms of analytics."
"DNA Center is scalable."
"The most useful feature is infrastructure monitoring including switches and servers."
"It's a very complete product with a lot of functionality."
"The most valuable feature is the interface and its ease of use."
"One of the notable advantages is its ability to provide quick responses, especially in critical situations."
"The solution can be quite pricey."
"The network, data center, and SD-WAN are all being treated as different services, but I would like to have only one solution to manage all of them."
"The weaknesses primarily involve pricing and the ongoing need for increased bandwidth and data throughput."
"The tool's deployment is complex. It also needs to improve its GUI."
"What could be improved is the licensing cost of Cisco DNA Center. It's a little bit expensive."
"DNA Center has been on the market for a few years and they need to update it."
"An area for improvement in Cisco DNA Center is the latency in data correlation. For example, sometimes, when an issue happens, and I check the logs, I can't find the corresponding log. There's a delay in log replication, so this is what needs improvement in Cisco DNA Center. Reporting in Cisco DNA Center could also be improved because it only has a few templates, and you can't customize it based on your requirements. There aren't many options available in Cisco DNA Center regarding reporting, versus Cisco Prime, which has excellent features for different levels of detailed reports. I'd like to see real-time data replication in the next release of Cisco DNA Center, similar to what's done in Meraki. Data in Meraki is real-time with no delay, so data is immediately replicated in the cloud. Currently, there's a lag in Cisco DNA Center, and addressing that lag is the enhancement I'd like to see in Cisco DNA Center. The solution also needs to be more user-friendly."
"The solution’s security side could be improved."
"HPE Intelligent Management Center is a bit slow."
"One notable deficiency is the lack of online support for the product."
"The integration with other network devices needs improvement."
"I would like to see additional modules included."
