We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Cisco CloudCenter's scalability is good.""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 is fairly straightforward if you have a basic setup.""I can define all components and create a blueprint for consumption across all services.""The solution includes a lot of features and is useful because you can configure all the way down to ports.""The solution is agile and it has APIs for integration.""The initial setup process is straightforward.""You can scale it easily."

Cons
"The solution needs to be more simple.""For many clients, the main problem with the solution is the price. Cisco is very expensive. If they could somehow make the pricing more competitive, that would be a big draw.""You don't get all the solution's benefits if you have older switches.""The tool should improve its security on the XDR part.""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.""Improvements are needed in UI and multi-tenancy for this solution.""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."
