We performed a comparison between Cisco ACI and Nuage Networks based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, Big Switch Networks, Aviatrix and others in Software Defined Networking (SDN)."We can implement customer requirements more quickly."
"The most valuable feature of Cisco ACI is that it is eay to manage. We can automate and it can be scripted. Virtual ACI is very good."
"The most valuable feature is the throughput that it offers."
"It is very easy to do the configuration after you know how to work with the product. It is global, so you change one interface, and changes are reflected on every switch."
"In legacy networks, managing changes requires individual tickets for each device. ACI's single pane of glass management through APIC is a big advantage. So, single-tenant management is a plus."
"We get a full holistic view of the ecosystem."
"With Cisco ACI, I can deploy things with a script, then run it in five minutes."
"It is easy to use because you have all the information coming from the same technology."
"One of the most valuable features of this solution is network management. The customer is able to manage their network from home or we can also manage the whole customer network."
"It is stable and reliable."
"It has good reporting and analytics, that most people can understand without too much difficulty."
"Technical support needs to be more helpful. It's rare that you get a knowledgeable person."
"It would be nice if I could specify network-centric in my design, and the system would organize and set itself up in that way."
"The only drawback that we are seeing is the user interface is still a little complex and difficult to use. It needs a more user-friendly interface."
"We are waiting to see what happens with the cloud. We want to see if it will scale better."
"Where there is room for improvement from ACI is for Layer 2 and Layer 7 packages. Normally, when you're updating your ACI fabric or you're introducing new Layer 4 to Layer 7 devices, there are some constraints, there are some limitations... When you are doing device packages you will not have the functionality of ASM. It's like WAF, web application firewalls. So you need to configure it manually."
"We deployed a lot of Fabrics to multiple sites, which was a bit complex."
"The initial setup was a bit complex."
"Cisco ACI would benefit by providing the option to integrate easily with DNAC in their next release."
"Security is an area that could use some work."
"The setup can be complex."
