Cons
"Currently, Broadcom Network Flow Analysis does not support high-availability solutions, making it an area that needs improvement.""I would like to see more security features, like a lost protection package."

More Broadcom Network Flow Analysis Cons →

"The product's performance monitoring feature could be more intuitive.""The product's pricing can be cheaper.""The overall management capabilities of Prime need to be improved.""If you think about a centralized monitoring system, Cisco Prime is not good because it does not support third-party vendors like Palo Alto or FortiGate.""Lacking in integration with a SIEM tool.""Cisco Prime could improve the notifications in the system. Having more details about what is happening would be useful, such as traffic numbers or who is connected. We can see them through the firewall controller, but it would be better if you can see them from one place.""They can also improve the management of more enterprise devices.""It should be able to monitor Palo Alto, Juniper, and Check Point products - not just Cisco solutions."
