More Cisco CloudCenter Pros →

"I like Intersight because of the integration with HashiCorp, Kubernetes, and each cloud because Intersight is the IO module.""We enjoy having an inside view of all the data centers and all the EdgeX nodes within a single portal rather than going into the EdgeX connections one by one.""Provides an overall view using a single portal.""Our organization uses Cisco Intersight since it helps manage our physical infrastructure.""The tool helps to manage Cisco servers.""The product has good integration.""Intersight can validate our environment.""What I like most about Cisco Intersight is its manageability."

Cons
"The improvement I would like to see is not one thing particular to CloudCenter. I'd say it's more of a message that the system is still using a lot of the different products and if they would all just fit better together, they all could be faster together.""For many clients, the main problem with the solution is the price. Cisco is very expensive. If they could somehow make the pricing more competitive, that would be a big draw.""They can add some of those features to make the platform more usable for different backgrounds and developer skills.""I'm not a big fan of CloudCenter. I don't have anything against it, however, the on-premise version has been so hard to upgrade and maintain.""You don't get all the solution's benefits if you have older switches.""The solution needs to be more simple.""They should provide an entire cloud offering, from architecture to network security features.""Improvements are needed in UI and multi-tenancy for this solution."

More Cisco CloudCenter Cons →

"When new features are added, the service becomes full of bugs.""It's a very complex solution.""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.""The product's setup should be easier.""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.""The usability must be better.""The solution needs some enhancement in order to build the cluster in two nodes.""The product could be easy to use."
