Pros
"Provides an overall view using a single portal.""Intersight can validate our environment.""Our organization uses Cisco Intersight since it helps manage our physical infrastructure.""Cisco Intersight has valuable features for workflow automation and inventory administration.""We enjoy having an inside view of all the data centers and all the EdgeX nodes within a single portal rather than going into the EdgeX connections one by one.""I like Intersight because of the integration with HashiCorp, Kubernetes, and each cloud because Intersight is the IO module.""Scalable portfolio of services for remote device management, with good cloud integration. It's also easy to set up.""The tool helps to manage Cisco servers."

More Cisco Intersight Pros →

"The tool is quite easy to deploy, and it offers very good support.""One of the valuable features is rapid dashboards.""Its ITSM and EMS combination is really amazing. There is no need to purchase two products, one for ITSM and a second for EMS/NMS.""When it comes to features, the power pack is the most valuable.""The flexibility to support most technologies. The way ScienceLogic gathers data from multiple sources is vital to our customers. As we work with new customers (often with different technology requirements), ScienceLogic is flexible enough to support our clients’ varying network needs.""Provides agentless monitoring so there's no need to install the agent on each server.""It is very easy to configure because we are using an agent-less version. You can very quickly implement a collector for monitoring device servers.""Science Logic provides distributed and all-in-one concept in monitoring, you can easily customize the features in this product."

Cons
"The product's setup should be easier.""In the future, the solution needs to plan on an extension to cover a broader range of objects since, at present, there are some Cisco devices within the range of Intersight UCS that it can't manage.""The solution needs some enhancement in order to build the cluster in two nodes.""It's a very complex solution.""Cisco Intersight needs some improvement in terms of stability. Hybrid cloud management and proper hyperscaler tie-up are other areas for improvement.""An area for improvement in Cisco Intersight is automation. It needs more automation capabilities. Apart from enhanced automation, I want Cisco Intersight to integrate with third-party monitoring tools in its next release.""When new features are added, the service becomes full of bugs.""The usability must be better."

More Cisco Intersight Cons →

"The product is not user-friendly.""It was challenging onboarding users.""ScienceLogic does not have application monitoring. We definitely need something integrated within ScienceLogic to monitor applications so that we don't have to rely on monitoring tools to monitor other applications. At least the ones that are market leaders, such as SAP, Oracle, and others.""We want to understand: how does the back end work? What if some problem occurs? What we can do? They need to provide more information.""The product's reporting functionalities have certain shortcomings, making it an area where improvements are required.""It doesn't have the complete application-level topology. It could have service topology and business service monitoring. I would like to see how business service monitoring will function with agent-based installation, and how flexible and business-oriented it is for service modeling and service infrastructure. I have a lot of experience in using business service monitoring, service topology, and service hierarchy functionalities in similar products from BMC and Micro Focus (OpenView), and I want to see how these functionalities will look like in ScienceLogic.""I would like to see out-of-the-box standard dashboards for common services.""ScienceLogic should provide detailed documents to customer as the current documents are not sufficient."
