Cisco Tetration Review

For the gas and oil company, who is our customer, they are mainly using it for their networking sites.

Scalability is its most valuable feature.

It is not so easy to use and configure. It needs a bunch of further resources to work, which is mainly the biggest downside of it. The deployment is huge.

It is very stable. We haven't had any problems with it.

We started off with one node. Then, it grew over six months to a year, so we bought two more nodes for a total of three nodes. It is huge right now, especially since the tracer comes with a half a rack.

We have had two pretty straightforward cases with the technical support.

We were not using a previous solution.

The initial setup was complex, because it had a bunch of little details that needed to be tied together.

The price is outrageous. If you have money to throw at the product, then do it.

We possible looked at a vRealize solution, but our customer did not want to consider VMware because it was not Cisco. The customer was a Cisco shop and did not even inquire regarding the price of the Tetration solution.

The product should be easy to use, but it is not. Comparing it to other products, it was very complex. 

There are cheaper products out there which are simpler to use than Tetration.
