"The solution is agile and it has APIs for integration."
"Cisco CloudCenter's scalability is good."
"Upgrades are very simple as well because they've allowed us to get updates directly in the CloudCenter Suite manager. If you need to do an upgrade to your setup afterward, you just push a button and it rolls out the parts and retires the old ones. It's seamless and very simple compared to what we've done before."
"The initial setup process is straightforward."
"Cisco has a lot of published information and documentation that helps users understand the product and its offering very well."
"The initial setup is fairly straightforward if you have a basic setup."
"I can define all components and create a blueprint for consumption across all services."
"The main feature of this solution is the integration with all the Cisco solutions and other vendors."

"A product that really aids in systems management without complexity."
"Improvements are needed in UI and multi-tenancy for this solution."
"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."
"You don't get all the solution's benefits if you have older switches."
"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."
"They should provide an entire cloud offering, from architecture to network security features."
"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."
"The tool should improve its security on the XDR part."
"The product's pricing needs to improve."
"The areas where this product can be improved are the integrations and the UI. These features are not as friendly compared to VMware products."
"We cannot depend on this solution to manage all of the data center's infrastructure."
"There are a lot of bugs in the solution. This is an area in the solution that can be improved."
"The product could allow more programmatic opportunities through better development of the API."
"There could be an improvement with the integration with the newest solutions from other vendors' technologies."
