Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The solution provides data that allows us to time travel through logs and perform remote operations or troubleshooting.""The most valuable is the assistance for network support.""The dashboard is a valuable feature. It's very clear, and the metrics make it easy to see the current network situation.""The installation is easy.""The most valuable features of Cisco Prime include its comprehensive functionality as a one-stop solution for basic SNMP port management.""As a large organization, it is difficult to individually monitor every device. Instead, we use Cisco Prime to keep an eye on the network and services. We do not use it as a node tool, as we have other tools for network operation centers. When services go down, it can cause issues, we rely on Cisco Prime to monitor and notify us of any service disruptions. We mainly use Cisco Prime Infrastructure for configuration-level tasks.""Cisco Prime has been around for a long time, and it keeps getting better and better.""Enables oversight in order to tweak and tune."

"When it comes to customization, Micro Focus is more mature than its competitors.""We can detect non-compliant devices and automate remediation actions to cover the gap in the configuration standards."

Cons
"The solution can be slow at times.""The product needs to improve its stability.""The product is expensive compared to other vendors in the market.""Lacking in integration with a SIEM tool.""There is room for improvement in the Access layer.""The reporting could be simplified and the information made clearer to the user.""Cisco Prime could improve the graphical user interface.""I would rate the scalability of Cisco Prime a six out of ten. To scale up from a hundred to a thousand devices, the platform needs to be rebuilt logically. This process might require a downtime window and may involve changing the hardware or upgrading to a larger appliance."

More Cisco Prime Cons →

"It may need a more customizable UI.""Micro Focus Network Management doesn't support end-to-end monitoring of cloud infrastructure. Micro Focus might have different cloud solutions for cloud automation and hybrid cloud management. There are a lot of products that also support automation. That is different, but it should monitor the cloud from an IT operations management perspective."
