What is our primary use case?
My main use case for Cisco Crosswork Network Automation is network lifecycle automation, real-time telemetry collection, and configuration change and orchestration.
I have an outstanding capability to process massive volumes of streaming telemetry via Cisco Crosswork Network Automation and gain insight to detect network anomalies significantly faster than traditional SNMP polling.
Multi-vendor capability while optimized for Cisco hardware, it interfaces smoothly with third-party devices using the OpenYANG model and standard API, and that covers my main use case.
What is most valuable?
The best features Cisco Crosswork Network Automation offers include more pre-built automation templates to accelerate time to value without requiring custom development from scratch.
The user interface streamlines navigation between module health, health insights, change automation, and optimization to make the user experience more seamless, which stands out for me.
Cisco Crosswork Network Automation positively impacts my organization by simplifying deployment complexity, providing stable scalability, and managing thousands of network devices without performance bottlenecks.
The positive outcomes from Cisco Crosswork Network Automation include distributed collection with lightweight virtual collection deployed to add devices to the main platform and reduce latency, and I gain significant time for fast deployment.
What needs improvement?
Cisco Crosswork Network Automation needs improved API documentation, an expense integration guide, and code samples to simplify custom script development for DevOps and NetOps teams.
I would like to see more templates and an improved user interface, as well as enhancements in network lifecycle automation and real-time streaming telemetry.
There are other improvements needed for Cisco Crosswork Network Automation, particularly for the on-premise system.
