We performed a comparison between Cisco Intersight and VMware Aria Operations based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Cloud Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Provides an overall view using a single portal."
"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."
"I like Intersight because of the integration with HashiCorp, Kubernetes, and each cloud because Intersight is the IO module."
"The tool helps to manage Cisco servers."
"Cisco Intersight has valuable features for workflow automation and inventory administration."
"Intersight can validate our environment."
"Our organization uses Cisco Intersight since it helps manage our physical infrastructure."
"The most valuable feature is how our metrics interact with each other. You can find what objects are needed and get all of the information about an object: How it works with the storage, CPUs, memory, and you can get an easy way to find the solution during troubleshooting."
"It is stable. I don't have any problems with this product and upgrades are very easy because it's just click two buttons and next, next, next, finish."
"If you use the vCenter stuff, it's okay... but vROps actually gives you more realistic numbers."
"It's intuitive and user-friendly, especially with the new clients. It's really nice. It's really easy to use. The HTML 5 client is light years ahead of the old one. Everything runs faster, it loads a lot quicker, it's a lot cleaner, the UI is easier to navigate."
"We receive an overview from the dashboard of what is happening in our environment."
"It's a great tool for monitoring and tracking data of our entire environment."
"The most valuable feature is determining if more resources are needed, at the hypervisor level, based on the workload of the virtual machines that we have in our environment."
"I have found the backup extremely useful in my use cases."
"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."
"The product could be easy to use."
"When new features are added, the service becomes full of bugs."
"The usability must be better."
"It's a very complex solution."
"It's mostly user-friendly and intuitive. They're improving their dashboards which makes it a lot easier. Sometimes, drilling down and trying to find the exact thing you're looking for can prove challenging at first, but it's getting better."
"They should have more automation features for database management."
"I would like to see more integration between vRealize Operations, Log Insight, and Network Insight. It would be nice if they worked a bit better together."
"They should include an integration feature through which we can connect to different vendors by installing a small plugin."
"If I had a container solution deployed on top of a VMware infrastructure, or outside as well, it would be really helpful."
"It can be user-friendly once you get the dashboard set up but it can be complicated to get the information you want, the way you want it. Finally, if there were an easier way to share dashboards, that would be a big one."
"In the beginning, I picked up an implementation that had been designed wrong from the ground up."
"A lot of feedback that we're getting from some of our engineers who are actually using Operations today is that the graphics are very low-key. When it comes to red, yellow, green, yes, "Skittles Theory," but when it actually comes down to what's optimized and what's not optimized, it's very rudimentary. If they could actually make nicer pie charts or graphics involved in it, it would make it a lot easier to read the data on a higher level, rather than actually having to dive down and know specifically what you're looking at."
