Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"I can define all components and create a blueprint for consumption across all services.""Cisco has a lot of published information and documentation that helps users understand the product and its offering very well.""The solution is agile and it has APIs for integration.""Upgrades are very simple as well because they've allowed us to get updates directly in the CloudCenter Suite manager. If you need to do an upgrade to your setup afterward, you just push a button and it rolls out the parts and retires the old ones. It's seamless and very simple compared to what we've done before.""The initial setup process is straightforward.""The solution includes a lot of features and is useful because you can configure all the way down to ports.""Cisco CloudCenter's scalability is good.""The initial setup is fairly straightforward if you have a basic setup."

"Role-based access control and application blueprinting.""I find the self-service features valuable.""The initial deployment was super easy.""The solution's biggest advantage is flexibility""Hybrid cloud platform for VM and app deployment and management, with very good stability. It's customizable, easy to set up, and can be deployed within half an hour."

Cons
"Improvements are needed in UI and multi-tenancy for this solution.""They can add some of those features to make the platform more usable for different backgrounds and developer skills.""They should provide an entire cloud offering, from architecture to network security features.""I'm not a big fan of CloudCenter. I don't have anything against it, however, the on-premise version has been so hard to upgrade and maintain.""The tool should improve its security on the XDR part.""You don't get all the solution's benefits if you have older switches.""The improvement I would like to see is not one thing particular to CloudCenter. I'd say it's more of a message that the system is still using a lot of the different products and if they would all just fit better together, they all could be faster together.""The solution needs to be more simple."

More Cisco CloudCenter Cons →

"The scheduling feature of CloudBolt needs improvement because sometimes, it doesn't work.""The solution is not easy to use. It's not intuitive enough to click anywhere in the solution and make it work.""The area of integrating on-prem and cloud needs improvement.""Could increase the number of integrations and add more out-of-the-box work flows.""The management of SaaS must be improved."
