We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The tool helps to manage Cisco servers.""The product has good integration.""Our organization uses Cisco Intersight since it helps manage our physical infrastructure.""I like Intersight because of the integration with HashiCorp, Kubernetes, and each cloud because Intersight is the IO module.""We enjoy having an inside view of all the data centers and all the EdgeX nodes within a single portal rather than going into the EdgeX connections one by one.""Scalable portfolio of services for remote device management, with good cloud integration. It's also easy to set up.""What I like most about Cisco Intersight is its manageability.""Provides an overall view using a single portal."

"The recommendation section is pretty helpful.""The best feature I like about CloudCheckr CMx High Security is its simplicity. I love that it's not rocket science to use the solution. Even if you're not familiar with the cloud, you can easily figure out how to use CloudCheckr CMx High Security. You can use AWS, you can use Azure, and you can use GCP with the solution because the integration is quite simple. You can also use multi-cloud with it, and you could see the billing part. You'll have complete visibility into your cost which I love about the solution. I also love that data on any security issues and vulnerabilities are available on the go with CloudCheckr CMx High Security. You don't need to do anything different. Just run the scan and you'll have all these open findings in the tool, in terms of the priority level, so if it's critical, it will tell you, "It's critical," and you need to fix it right away.""The solution is mostly stable.""The solution is scalable for our purposes.""The most valuable feature of CloudCheckr CMx High Security is granular reporting. Additionally, the user interface is easy to use.""It will automatically suggest areas for optimization.""The initial setup is straightforward.""It's one of the leading players for cloud optimization. It's hard to find anything better."

Cons
"Cisco Intersight needs some improvement in terms of stability. Hybrid cloud management and proper hyperscaler tie-up are other areas for improvement.""In the future, the solution needs to plan on an extension to cover a broader range of objects since, at present, there are some Cisco devices within the range of Intersight UCS that it can't manage.""It's a very complex solution.""The solution needs some enhancement in order to build the cluster in two nodes.""The product could be easy to use.""When new features are added, the service becomes full of bugs.""The usability must be better.""The product's setup should be easier."

"CloudCheckr CMx High Security is complex. There are a lot of menus, and if you do not know what you are looking for you can get lost. However, the interface is self-explanatory. It's easy to understand where to go to get what you want.""The reporting and analytic capabilities are very limited.""The performance of the tool really needs to be improved.""Many features still need to be implemented in this tool.""What needs to be improved in CloudCheckr CMx High Security is integration. All the clouds are going quite fast, for example, all the cloud providers: Microsoft, Google, etc. CloudCheckr CMx High Security is good with AWS, no doubt about it, but with Azure and Google Cloud, I find that the solution is slow in that direction. If the vendor planned for CloudCheckr CMx High Security to be automated just for AWS, then it does make sense. If not, if the vendor is also targeting good integration with Google and Microsoft, then CloudCheckr CMx High Security integration needs improvement, in particular, it has to be faster. At the moment, its integration with Azure is not as good as its integration with AWS. With GCP, integration is nowhere.""The solution needs to work better with larger capacities of data.""Self-healing could be a bit smoother and a bit cleaner, easier to access and more functional. That would help.""The solution must improve its user interface."
