We performed a comparison between Cisco ACI and Cradlepoint NetCloud based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Software Defined Networking (SDN) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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."
"The product works very well with our virtual environment."
"One of the most valuable features is centralized management. The other is the ability to create policies by routing."
"The best part of ACI is that it can integrate with a lot of virtual environments like VMware, Hyper-V, and KVM."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the Call Manager."
"Cisco ACI's best features include its network-centric approach and micro-segmentation."
"The most useful feature in the ACI is a feature called Service Graph."
"We will improve our organization using the automation."
"It is easy to set up and requires a single administrator to maintain it."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the automatic failover."
"Cradlepoint NetCloud is very stable."
"In the new version of 4.0, the management groups for updating the software is not the best way to do it. It was better in 3.2."
"Training for this product is available from institutions but it is not available online where you can get users trained easily."
"The user interface should be made easier."
"In terms of improvement, I would like to see some sort of way to baseline the system in a network-centric fashion."
"The product needs to be simpler. There is too much complexity in ACI. 80 percent of its features are of no use to us. We could do with a simplified version."
"So far we've had very few issues, a couple of routing things that were glitches within ACI."
"I would like to see a smoother transition from existing systems."
"The ability for us to figure out the traffic flows, to enable some of the more segmentation parts of it, is really tough with what is built into ACI."
"It is missing important settings options."
"In our situation, the initial setup was complex."
"The performance of group-based clouds should be enhanced."
