"Scalable solution for tracking and syncing through the Infoblox grid."

More Infoblox NetMRI [EOL] Pros →

Cons
"I rate Cisco Prime seven out of 10 for affordability. All Cisco solutions are expensive.""Cisco can only be used for Cisco environments and is not compatible with other vendors.""The reporting feature of Cisco Prime should be improved.""There is room for improvement in the Access layer.""It should be able to monitor Palo Alto, Juniper, and Check Point products - not just Cisco solutions.""Lacking in integration with a SIEM tool.""The product's performance monitoring feature could be more intuitive.""Cisco needs to improve Prime's monitoring tab. If any device goes down, there is a 15-second lapse before we know. It would be much better if we were alerted two or three minutes before a device is about to fail, so we can dispatch a field engineer and avoid network downtime. I would like to see a feature that allows you to access the devices directly from Prime's monitoring tab. That would make work easier for us."
