We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"I can define all components and create a blueprint for consumption across all services.""The initial setup process is straightforward.""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 is fairly straightforward if you have a basic setup.""Cisco CloudCenter's scalability is good.""You can scale it easily.""Cisco has a lot of published information and documentation that helps users understand the product and its offering very well.""The solution is agile and it has APIs for integration."

Cons
"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.""The solution needs to be more simple.""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.""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.""They should provide an entire cloud offering, from architecture to network security features."

More Cisco CloudCenter Cons →

"My expectations were probably slightly more for the third-party tool integration; for example, regarding the analytics, I had some different tools. So, integration was not as good as I was expecting. So, analytics, configuration tool I was not really happy. So, there is room for improvement in context with integration with existing tools in our network environment.""This solution has a yearly licensing. In my country, it's really expensive."
