We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Our organization uses Cisco Intersight since it helps manage our physical infrastructure.""Intersight can validate our environment.""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.""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.""What I like most about Cisco Intersight is its manageability.""Provides an overall view using a single portal.""The product has good integration."

"The most valuable thing that we have seen within our group is the ability to ingest all this raw data and have it organized in a certain way so that different groups can get effective alerting from this massive amount of raw data that is out there.""We haven't really experienced any glitches or bugs.""The initial setup was straightforward. We didn't find it to be too complex.""The Add data feature lets you gather any type of log and easily analyze it.""The ability to create custom dashboards is one of the best features and that's typically why most people deploy Splunk. Users can create dashboards for just about anything.""Splunk has drawn our attention to how the network is running. If there are alarms on things that are not functioning, it gives us early warning on problems that could arise.""Great monitoring of network devices.""The feature I find most valuable, is the data integration."

Cons
"The product could be easy to use.""It's a very complex solution.""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.""The product's setup should be easier.""Cisco Intersight needs some improvement in terms of stability. Hybrid cloud management and proper hyperscaler tie-up are other areas for improvement.""The unique problem with Cisco Intersight is that it's not supporting some players.""When new features are added, the service becomes full of bugs.""The usability must be better."

More Cisco Intersight Cons →

"It would be useful if they provided some help pages. If you don't know too much about the tool, there should be more documentation readily available. It would be useful if they had a help button embedded in the solution so you could ask questions and get answers.""We still use Splunk Enterprise licensing. A lot of the newer features go into Splunk Cloud before Enterprise. We're not looking to switch our licensing over, so we're falling behind on the newer features.""There is a lot of room for improvement with the automation.""It's a bit difficult to use. It takes some time to get into it and to get it to do what you would like it to do. It is not straightforward to use it.""I would like to see an improvement and some innovation in the customer interface.""Splunk could be better integrated with configuration manager solutions so we can automatically resolve issues without human interference.""This solution is difficult to configure and the instructions are complex.""The price has room for improvement."
