Cons
"It should be able to monitor Palo Alto, Juniper, and Check Point products - not just Cisco solutions.""They could consider offering more flexible pricing options for their customers.""Cisco can only be used for Cisco environments and is not compatible with other vendors.""They can also improve the management of more enterprise devices.""Cisco Prime needs to have lower prices and more customization options.""The reporting feature of Cisco Prime should be improved.""The solution needs to include centralized management that aligns with the Greenfield network and its focus on real-time, scenario-based applications.""I rate Cisco Prime seven out of 10 for affordability. All Cisco solutions are expensive."

More Cisco Prime Cons →

"Citrix is more expensive than Horizon.""The interface could be improved, some customers struggle with that.""Deployment is complicated.""The tool's pricing is a pain point since we have many cheaper alternatives.""Citrix ADM needs to improve on its additional features and reduce the communication ports.""I would like to see the virtual and desktop license included in the pricing.""They need to make the solution a little more familiar with easy study guides, learning videos, etc.""When a new version comes out, sometimes, my existing configuration gets wiped out. They should work on this so that my existing configuration doesn't get impacted with an upgrade to a newer version. There could also reduce frequent firmware upgrade activities and have a stable version so that once we upgrade it, we don't have to upgrade it for two to three years."
