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

Cons
"Cisco Prime's initial setup is complex.""If you look at some of the wireless site-survey tools that are available in the commercial space, Cisco should include similar solutions, which would help our on-plant engineers when they're doing a site survey.""Cisco Prime could improve the notifications in the system. Having more details about what is happening would be useful, such as traffic numbers or who is connected. We can see them through the firewall controller, but it would be better if you can see them from one place.""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.""It should be able to monitor Palo Alto, Juniper, and Check Point products - not just Cisco solutions.""There is room for improvement in the Access layer.""Lacking in integration with a SIEM tool.""I rate Cisco Prime seven out of 10 for affordability. All Cisco solutions are expensive."

"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."
