"The most valuable features of Cisco Data Center Network Manager are consistency and the core server. The teams have had a good experience."
"The most valuable feature is alerting."
"I like the fact that I can aggregate multiple interfaces into a single graph. It allows me to quickly the summary of traffic for multiple devices which is helpful."
"We are now able to easily track where problems are with bandwidth and port errors, rather than having to do a lot of diagnostics."
"Summary Reports provide a quick way to identify where potential issues are. Drill-downs provide more granular details very quickly."

"The most valuable features are scalability and reliability."
"This solution helps in terms of troubleshooting, and you can do capacity planning with it."

"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"In the next release, I would like to see it merged with Prime and I think that it should be more unified."
"It's a relatively expensive product for some clients."
"The solution needs to improve reports."

"The configuration is too complicated and you have to create templates and use a lot of menus."
"The tool's pricing strategy could be improved to compete more effectively in the market, especially against competitors like Huawei, Aruba, and Juniper."
"If the customer thinks about using additional solutions, Cisco should make sure they are not left out."
"The visibility of applications is not great."

"More private MIB object support, such as WAN optimisation performance and wireless, would be helpful."
"I would like to have soft alarming. If an inner-base all of a sudden triggers a threshold, we have to rely on a lot of other tools and then we go into Statseeker to verify it. If Statseeker would confirm it preemptively and trigger it into our network panel, that would be nice."
"That user interface for selecting things needs to be a little more intuitive."
"The user interface needs a great deal of improvement."
"It doesn't do absolutely everything and it will require some additional software or hardware support to be a complete single solution."
"I would like to see more comprehensive reporting and alerting."
