More Juniper Mist Premium Analytics Cons →

"Could integrate better with VMware products.""If the customer thinks about using additional solutions, Cisco should make sure they are not left out.""One of the biggest challenges is that we aren't always able to push the configuration onto the target device. Whenever this happens, we have to do a factory reset, put on the script, and then reconfigure it again. In the next release, I would like to have a troubleshooting feature.""The reporting is not very intuitive and has room for improvement.""The tool's pricing strategy could be improved to compete more effectively in the market, especially against competitors like Huawei, Aruba, and Juniper.""Sometimes the product gives us problems that require support.""The automation feature could be improved.""Data Center Network Manager is a little complex because it includes a lot of hardware to be installed."

More Cisco Data Center Network Manager Cons →

"The only thing I can say needs improvement is in how they present the data to the end users. End users are looking for a dashboard with an attractive view. The current dashboards we have are sufficient for our needs, but not attractive for the business users at the upper management levels."
