Pros
"The tool helps to manage Cisco servers.""Provides an overall view using a single portal.""The product has good integration.""What I like most about Cisco Intersight is its manageability.""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.""Intersight can validate our environment.""Cisco Intersight has valuable features for workflow automation and inventory administration.""Scalable portfolio of services for remote device management, with good cloud integration.

More Cisco Intersight Pros →

"We are able to create an internal price of the product that we can then sell to clients. We get the cost plan at a good discount and then resell it with a mark up to our enterprise-level clients. This flexibility in pricing is one of the solution's best features.""It's stable. For report presentation, it's been fast.""The product is easy to use in terms of monitoring all the environments. It works for multiple clouds.""The pricing is rather competitive right now.""The solution is good for cloud cost management.""The most valuable thing I have found is the cost saving recommendations""The solution is useful for cloud transparency and visibility in reports and dashboards that I have generated, especially the pre-populated dashboards.""We use dashboards quite heavily, but one of the features that have really stood out is some of the policies we've created to alert us of particular situations."

Cons
"The solution needs some enhancement in order to build the cluster in two nodes.""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.""Cisco Intersight needs some improvement in terms of stability. Hybrid cloud management and proper hyperscaler tie-up are other areas for improvement.""The product's setup should be easier.""The usability must be better.""The unique problem with Cisco Intersight is that it's not supporting some players.""When new features are added, the service becomes full of bugs.""An area for improvement in Cisco Intersight is automation. It needs more automation capabilities. Apart from enhanced automation, I want Cisco Intersight to integrate with third-party monitoring tools in its next release."

More Cisco Intersight Cons →

"It would be helpful to have a mobile version or a tablet version, especially for people who are outside of the office.""The Perspectives feature could be better.""They should provide information or tools to tune the cloud resources according to the environment size.""The performance and accuracy of Cloud Health need to be improved.""I would like to see better integration from CloudHealth to create easier setup and implementation.""The export features regarding CSV files and specifically around identifying savings plans have room for improvement, as well as the drill-down features for reservation utilization.""The solution doesn't offer the best functionality, unfortunately. Some features just simply aren't on offer. The solution needs to offer more product milestones.""CloudHealth needs to start building out Turbonomics-types of features that help the customers who are using CloudHealth really understand everything down to the server level, the virtual machine level."
