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.

Keerthi Kumar Sangaraju

Technology Manager at FIS

Stable, easy to set up, flexible, and has multiple functionalities, but needs to define priority levels for each incident

What's lacking in Loom Systems is the level of priority for each incident. For example, after implementation and there was a huge impact on the client, and the client comes back to you and says that there's an incident, that there needs to be an immediate resolution for it, you'll see severity one, severity two, etc., in Loom Systems, rather than priority levels. It would be better if the incidents can be defined as low priority, medium priority, or high priority.

"Overall, I rate Cisco Intersight a ten out of ten."

"It offers visibility and optimization of workloads, which are very important features for a company."

"Our organization uses Cisco Intersight since it helps manage our physical infrastructure."

"Intersight can validate our environment."

"I like Intersight because of the integration with HashiCorp, Kubernetes, and each cloud because Intersight is the IO module."

More Cisco Intersight pros

"The solution is absolutely scalable. If an organization needs to expand it out they definitely can."

"The RFS portion of the solution is the product's most valuable feature."

"You can develop your own apps within Loom, and they can be configured very simply."

"What I like best about Loom Systems is that you can use it for infrastructure monitoring. I also like that it's a flexible solution."

Cons

"The solution needs some enhancement in order to build the cluster in two nodes."

"The product's setup should be easier."

"More products should be made compatible with iWORK, including more software and hardware."

"In the future, the solution needs to plan on an extension to cover a broader range of objects since, at present, there are some Cisco devices within the range of Intersight UCS that it can't manage."

"There is a significant issue regarding migration from UCS Manager into Intersight without formatting the Fabric Interconnects (FI), which is problematic in a production environment."

"The usability must be better."

"Cisco Intersight's license cost is very high compared to AWS and Azure solutions, which have lower initiation costs. The high initial cost is a significant concern."

More Cisco Intersight cons
