Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, Fortinet, Broadcom and others in Network Management Applications."It does a lot of things automatically, and that's the big thing with it. They're making the software so that you don't need to be as knowledgeable as me on the switching and routing side to get your work done. If you want, you can have DNA troubleshoot your problem for you and give you solutions or fix it itself, if it was something that's just a configuration issue."
"We have many people from the team who manage a lot of devices. By using Cisco DNA Center, it has taken some of that burden away, we are impressed with it. We did the investment in CAPEX, but in the OPEX was very low."
"The most valuable features of Cisco DNA Center are wireless assurance and visibility."
"It is a stable solution."
"The product gives a consolidated view."
"Application Assurance works very well."
"The product offers an intuitive and automated way to manage user networks. It gives me an insight into the network health."
"The most valuable features of the solution are all of its security features...It is a highly scalable solution."
"The most valuable feature of DataMiner is its comprehensiveness. It provides an open driver that allows you to customize and program each aspect of the system. Additionally, there are many separate modules available that can be used to enhance the system's capabilities beyond just monitoring, allowing you to manage your entire workflow. This is a valuable feature that makes troubleshooting easier and helps to optimize the use of the system."
"Data Miner allows you to take control. It has an API to talk to different products, including drivers to talk to the APIs of third-party products. You can control it from the screen."
"The solution is user-friendly and is readily customizable, which allows us to do control and monitoring in a single stage."
"Cisco DNA Center should improve its configuration management. It is better to have a dev version before pushing it."
"The solution needs to improve the dashboard."
"The solution’s security side could be improved."
"They can improve the network visibility. Licensing and its maintenance are also needed."
"The solution's integration feature can be better."
"Technical support could be better. The price could be better, and it could be more stable."
"Cisco could improve the security side of their solutions."
"There should be an option for automation of template deployment by using the stored data. It is not easy to save configuration information for lots of devices without using other tools. There should be a tighter, better repository of information that can be merged with the templates."
"We would like to have more products supported by the drivers because there are so many products out there. If DataMiner has not built the drivers to support them we can not control them, we can only see them based on SNMP. If more drivers are included, it won't cost us if we have new products."
"I am looking forward to the company continuing to improve its solution and incorporate new technologies. Specifically, I hope that they will allow their cloud database environment to host services, rather than requiring the use of on-premises digital or physical servers. The company is moving in this direction, but I am still waiting for this capability to be implemented."
