More Cisco Intersight Cons →

"The solution's stability is an area that has room for improvement. It needs to provide constant stability to its users.""The implementation can be more user-friendly.""This solution is difficult to configure and the instructions are complex.""The cost needs to be re-examined. It's extremely expensive to run. It's also expensive to expand. That's the number one complaint all of my customers have when it comes to Splunk. It's way too expensive compared to other solutions.""There is a lot of room for improvement with the automation.""Splunk would be better if some tools were integrated to be able to take action on security or network concerns.""They need more EDR functionalities.""It does not have a user-friendly interface and it is difficult to use."
