Cisco Intersight Reviews

Most of our customers use Cisco Intersight for virtual environments, primarily for VMware vSphere hypervisor and some Windows clusters. They see it as a major tool for data center management tasks and system policy management.

We have visibility into other products and storage, facilitating coexistence with Cisco and other vendors, thereby enabling us to see all the infrastructure clearly.

The most common use case was the HyperFlex deployment in the past. However, with HyperFlex being discontinued, I now focus my efforts on selling Intersight with iWORK Waterlog Optimizer. This is valuable for clients with hybrid environments.

The visibility and optimization of workloads are very important features for the company.

I use it mostly for managing servers and updating their hardware licenses to get the hardware status in the cloud. Mostly, my customers develop Intersight on-premises because there are many restrictions from regulatory bodies for cloud sessions or going to the cloud for any data. 

It is almost always implemented as on-premises. There are many servers to look after; previously, it was for HX. If customers are currently going for HCI, we will need Nutanix and Intersight.

We no longer need to use Fabric Interconnect. We can directly use Intersight to bring up the cluster of HCI. I have seen an ROI from this solution. This solution has provided time savings and required fewer people to operate this tool, rather than direct cost savings.

While it is a very complex solution. We have managed to deploy it for ten data centers across our environment.

It's doing pretty well. We're managing our EdgeX nodes and doing all the upgrades.

It has helped us in many ways. Since our team is only six members and we have ten data centers across the site, it's difficult for us to manage the patching for EdgeX plus the firmware upgrades. Both are very heavy and very critical. Using Intersight with this small team makes our job easy. That's the biggest benefit - the ease of management.

I'm an IT enterprise system administrator.

Implementing this solution has helped us in many ways. We have 10 data centers across the site, so there's a lot to manage. The patching for the HX and the firmware upgrade is very heavy and critical. Given that we are a small team, Intersight has simplified the work for us. 

We're using Cisco Intersight for performance monitoring, such as checking the hardware, plus performance management. We couldn't do performance monitoring with just the Cisco UCS Manager.

What I like most about Cisco Intersight is its manageability.
