Provides data center management and full infrastructure visibility
Cisco Intersight is a very effective tool for data center infrastructure management. It provides visibility into other products and storage, and is beneficial for environments where Cisco and other vendors coexist, allowing full visibility of the entire infrastructure. We have visibility to other products and storages, some networking. It is also valuable for its integration capabilities with other products.
Jose Ramon Crespo - PeerSpot reviewer
Utilize artificial intelligence for faster issue response and seamless ITSM integration
The data gathering capabilities and the automation, which utilizes artificial intelligence, are the most valuable features. These capabilities help us gather more information and analyze it faster, leading to better responses to issues. The tool is also excellent at integrating with ITSM ( /categories/it-service-management-itsm ) services, providing a seamless alerting system for our customers.

Cons

"An area for improvement in Cisco Intersight is automation. It needs more automation capabilities. Apart from enhanced automation, I want Cisco Intersight to integrate with third-party monitoring tools in its next release."
"When new features are added, the service becomes full of bugs."
"The solution needs some enhancement in order to build the cluster in two nodes."
"The unique problem with Cisco Intersight is that it's not supporting some players."
"It's a very complex solution."
"I do not have notes for improvement."
"I would like AI to be more integrated into Cisco Intersight."
"The product could be easy to use."
"The interface could be improved as it is not real intuitive. It is not user-friendly."

"The solution needs to enhance the management dashboards."
"The solution should improve on the security side and include some more API integrations into wider application platforms."

"Their dashboards could use some improvement. The ability to customize them a bit more."
"Back-end configuration is not easy to implement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is cost-effective."
"It's just the standard licensing cost. There are no additional fees."

"The cost for eG Enterprise is almost $100,000 for one hundred and fifty services. It's subscription-based and the payment is yearly."
"If using eG for virtual desktops, carefully calculate whether per named user, per concurrent user, or per server"
"eG Enterprise is much cheaper than the other products it competes with."
"The product is very cheap."
"We paid about 300,000 Saudi Riyal for the solution and it was quite affordable compared to the competition."
"It'd be nice if the price was lower. That would be an improvement."
"They gave us a good price, when they were found out we were looking at other products because their price was very high. We were looking at another solution, then we came back to them was because they brought the price down. We selected them for three years."
