Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""Cisco CloudCenter's scalability is good.""You can scale it easily.""The initial setup is fairly straightforward if you have a basic setup.""The solution includes a lot of features and is useful because you can configure all the way down to ports.""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."

Cons
"They can add some of those features to make the platform more usable for different backgrounds and developer skills.""You don't get all the solution's benefits if you have older switches.""The solution needs to be more simple.""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.""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.""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 tool should improve its security on the XDR part.""Improvements are needed in UI and multi-tenancy for this solution."
