Cons
"The product could be easy to use.""Cisco Intersight needs some improvement in terms of stability.

More Cisco Intersight Cons →

"There are some bugs or glitches.""It would be nice if it also had a desktop application, similar to the phone app, which would allow me to monitor and control computers from my desktop.""The solution does not allow you to make a script for just one customer.""They have good technical support but it's not excellent.""GUI needs to be improved and the solution lacks a process for monitoring VOIP calls."
