Cisco Prime Primary Use Case
We use Cisco Prime for managing and monitoring the Cisco network.
View full review »Cisco Prime is used to monitor and manage network devices like switches, WLPs, and wireless access points. For example, if I have a building with four floors, I can all the access points and sitemap to Cisco Prime, so the next engineer who is working when I'm not available has a clear picture of how the site is configured. There's no need to physically go to the site. He can test everything remotely.
I work for a telecom company on the network service delivery team, and 1,000 engineers on my team use Cisco Prime. There are different teams like monitoring, LAN, wireless, etc. About 10 percent of engineers in my organization use Cisco Prime.

For one use case, we used the solution to conduct bulk configurations. We created a server template and pushed it to devices instead of configuring them individually. The solution is particularly helpful for large-scale deployments and bulk processing.
For another use case, our customer raised tickets related to slow or disconnected wireless service. We utilized the last month's logs to find when the issue started occurring and troubleshoot potential causes such as signal strength or roaming issues.

We are planning to move to DNA Center, but we have legacy devices and near versions of devices that support Cisco DNA Center. We run both, but for DNA Center, we don't rely on it. In the future, when Cisco moves all of its device's DNA platforms, we will move from Cisco Prime to Cisco DNA Center.

Our primary use case for this solution is Assurance. It helps us manage and monitor analytics and fix issues such as poor voice quality. We can investigate by fetching reports and real-time alert generation for VoIP infrastructure. For example, suppose there is latency during calls, it can be immediately alerted to take immediate action before we investigate the deeper issue.

We use Cisco Prime mainly to monitor and double-check if all access points are working correctly and in the correct places that they are intended to be. Additionally, we check the heat maps of the coverage of the wifi signal to see if it is the appropriate coverage.

We use the solution to control the physical service station that is part of the SCADA network. We connect and control them remotely.
View full review »Cisco Prime helps us manage and monitor our network treatment, such as switches, routers, and firewalls. We can see when a module fails, and even push configuration. This is especially helpful when managing a large network of switches, as manual configuration would be difficult.
Cisco Prime provides us with a convenient way of deploying a configuration template to all switches in the network simultaneously. This makes managing a large number of switches much easier and saves time. Additionally, if our network is relatively small, we can use Prime to manage switch logs without the need to purchase additional hardware or software. The solution also has the capability for NetFlow.

Prime is geared towards medium and enterprise size companies and that's where we deploy it. I don't think it's a suitable solution for small companies. We've used the product for several projects, providing solutions to our customers and managing it for them. We've been dealing with Cisco for the past 10 years. One of our current projects is with one of the leading hospitals here. We are premier partners and we also resell Cisco products. I'm an IT specialist.
