We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Cisco CloudCenter's scalability is good.""The initial setup process is straightforward.""I can define all components and create a blueprint for consumption across all services.""Upgrades are very simple as well because they've allowed us to get updates directly in the CloudCenter Suite manager. If you need to do an upgrade to your setup afterward, you just push a button and it rolls out the parts and retires the old ones. It's seamless and very simple compared to what we've done before.""You can scale it easily.""Cisco has a lot of published information and documentation that helps users understand the product and its offering very well.""The solution includes a lot of features and is useful because you can configure all the way down to ports.""The initial setup is fairly straightforward if you have a basic setup."

"The solution can scale well.""The scalability is good.""I've been very pleased with their support overall.""The overall infrastructure is the most valuable part of Nutanix Cloud Clusters.""The most valuable features of Nutanix Clusters are Prism Central, Micro-segmentation, and cluster scaling automation.""In terms of dealing with our business-critical workloads, Nutanix is a highly scalable, highly resilient, and very high-performing solution.""The most valuable feature is having the full features of my Nutanix on-premises applications in the cloud.""Having a single pane of glass where you can have both your on-prem and anything else that you spin up within AWS is useful."

Cons
"Improvements are needed in UI and multi-tenancy for this solution.""I'm not a big fan of CloudCenter. I don't have anything against it, however, the on-premise version has been so hard to upgrade and maintain.""The improvement I would like to see is not one thing particular to CloudCenter. I'd say it's more of a message that the system is still using a lot of the different products and if they would all just fit better together, they all could be faster together.""They can add some of those features to make the platform more usable for different backgrounds and developer skills.""The solution needs to be more simple.""The tool should improve its security on the XDR part.""They should provide an entire cloud offering, from architecture to network security features.""For many clients, the main problem with the solution is the price. Cisco is very expensive. If they could somehow make the pricing more competitive, that would be a big draw."

More Cisco CloudCenter Cons →

"The biggest weakness with Clusters at this point is that the adoption rate is low because customers don't know enough about it.""We've had some challenges with the implementation.""The reporting has room for improvement.""I'd like more flexible options to get in and out of migration modes.""Perhaps the one thing that could be improved is the documentation around the solution.""There are still some things that could be improved about the product.""The pricing can be better.""Some of the interfaces aren't as intuitive as they should be."
