What could be improved in Cisco Intersight is hybrid cloud management, especially when compared to the likes of VMware Tanzu, though VMware Tanzu is quite mature, while Cisco Intersight is just new. Hybrid cloud management is a segment of the product that would need a lot of improvement.

An additional feature I'd like to see in the next release of Cisco Intersight is for it to have a proper hyperscale tie-up, e.g. it can be Amazon, Azure, GCP, etc. It should also have SDN solutions, and the ACI solution should be as competitive as NSX. ACI is good, but it's mostly good as an underlay solution, so on the contrary, NSX does it on the overlay, and you can call them as a proper SDN solution. When it comes to microservices, NSX is the de facto.

We used the solution's automation capabilities, but it wasn’t easy. It was part of why we took some time to deploy the solution. It didn't give us much value. It wasn't that good. Intersight is a pretty complex solution. It can give you a lot of things, but nothing is simple. The usability must be better.

The product's setup should be easier. 

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.

It's a very complex solution.

Sometimes it's lacking upgrades in the UCS, and I have to deal with the firmware from the UCS manager. 

We're now looking towards expansion and adding vCenters in Intersight. We are currently exploring the new features with our partner. Since we have the on-prem version, its features are fewer than the cloud. It would be nice to have more features for the on-prem option. 

There is room for enhancement in a feature called Robo. 

This is a complex solution and I sometimes end up having to deal with the firmware from the UCS manager because the UCS isn't upgraded. There's room for building the cluster in two nodes but it needs some enhancement for that. It would benefit us having that and it doesn't require much additional technology, or extra cost.

The product could be easy to use, similar to CloudIQ. Additionally, they should provide more information to make decisions.

The unique problem with Cisco Intersight is that it's not supporting some players. For example, Dell and ATP. I have a problem with integrating the existing solutions in the data center.

I would like to see integration with the observability solution.

There is still some work to be done on the solution. It does take care of the monitoring part but doesn't do it too well. Functionality-wise, it also doesn't manage as well as it used to do in the past.

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.

One of the issues is that they are integrating a lot of technologies into the product and when new features appear, the service becomes full of bugs and doesn't work. I have to wait while they go back and make the application stable again. I'd like to see more integration with other companies.
