Cons
"The solution needs some enhancement in order to build the cluster in two nodes.""When new features are added, the service becomes full of bugs.""The product's setup should be easier.""The usability must be better.""It's a very complex solution.""Cisco Intersight needs some improvement in terms of stability. Hybrid cloud management and proper hyperscaler tie-up are other areas for improvement.""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.""The unique problem with Cisco Intersight is that it's not supporting some players."

More Cisco Intersight Cons →

"ScienceLogic should provide detailed documents to customer as the current documents are not sufficient.""The product's reporting functionalities have certain shortcomings, making it an area where improvements are required.""ScienceLogic does not have application monitoring. We definitely need something integrated within ScienceLogic to monitor applications so that we don't have to rely on monitoring tools to monitor other applications. At least the ones that are market leaders, such as SAP, Oracle, and others.""They should improve database issues in HA and Failover mode, and provide documentation for all users , even if they are not customers.""They need a little more self-service.""Addressing duplicate IPs: There is the ability to edit the DB and fix this, but adding some logic to understand them would be a plus.""The product must educate its strategic partners for deployment.""The product is not user-friendly."
