Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, Big Switch Networks, Juniper and others in Software Defined Networking (SDN)."It provides flexibility, so you can install it everywhere."
"This solution allows you to do everything quicker and more efficiently."
"It is more scalable than our previous products."
"The most valuable features of Cisco ACI are micro-segmentation, the VXLAN, and the ACI flattening services."
"Cisco ACI's best features include its network-centric approach and micro-segmentation."
"The product works very well with our virtual environment."
"With ACI, if you need more capacity you can just buy more and plug them in without needing to do anything else. All of the sudden that infrastructure is there for me to use, configure, and add stuff to."
"It scales very well. When you increasingly scale with it, it makes the product easier to work with."
"It is stable and reliable."
"It has good reporting and analytics, that most people can understand without too much difficulty."
"One of the most valuable features of this solution is network management. The customer is able to manage their network from home or we can also manage the whole customer network."
"If I lose the connection from one side to the core, I can't use the other side to go to the core. I hope in the future, this will be fixed."
"Cisco ACI would be improved by providing a cloud offering; otherwise, it risks becoming a niche product."
"The interface is sometimes slow. I receive a lot of weird errors when I try to install apps, such as contract apps, which should give me a nice visualization of all the contracts. However, it just doesn't load, etc."
"The firewall has room for improvement because there is no central inspection yet on Cisco ACI."
"Deploying Cisco ACI was a little complex because we needed to add a lot to the fabric. You need to configure some servers, connect everything, make templates, and deploy switches. It takes five people to deploy and maintain."
"Compared to VMware, it needs more virtualization technologies."
"It needs more features for integrating with third-party vendors."
"It would be good if Cisco ACI had some cross-domain orchestrator that could rule all the pillars in the customer network or interconnect more easily with the compass environment."
"Security is an area that could use some work."
"The setup can be complex."
