Automation and seamless incident handling transform operational efficiency
I would like AI to be more integrated into Cisco Intersight. It would be great to have a chat session mode AI so that when I am on standby and encountering issues, I could engage with it, much like ChatGPT. For instance, if I need to find commands for UCS Manager, it should provide that information.

Good monitoring and alerting capability, and it is easy to deploy
This solution is good for configuration management. The monitoring capability is easy to use and it can be done without any training. ManageEngine is easy to deploy. It is easy to identify and collect information from all of the nodes on the network. The alerting capability is good and it will send out emails.

Pros

"Cisco Intersight allows us to manage our data center remotely, which is crucial as our data center is located in a different physical environment."
"What I like best about Cisco Intersight is the way it's developing and converging into everything that the cloud has to offer, e.g. it's converging into one platform which is good."
"Provides an overall view using a single portal."
"It offers visibility and optimization of workloads, which are very important features for a company."
"Cisco Intersight is a very effective tool for data center infrastructure management."
"Cisco Intersight has valuable features for workflow automation and inventory administration."
"The features enable you to abstract the server personality away from the hardware, similar to the B-Series."
"Our organization uses Cisco Intersight since it helps manage our physical infrastructure."
"Customer Service: Absolutely fantastic."
"The product helps users stay on top of gaining insight into the active directory, permissions and security sets, and user group policy changes."
"The technical support is good."
"I would suggest you use this product as it's easy for administration, and is based on distributed model support."
"It is easy to identify and collect information from all of the nodes on the network."
"The monitoring capability is easy to use and it can be done without any training."
"All I know is that when it comes to managing the active directory, ManageEngine is something I consider to be the best."
"The primary use case of this solution is to manage and to protect the web servers, the mail server, and the website in my company."
 

Cons

"Cisco Intersight is a stable product, but it needs some improvement."
"The unique problem with Cisco Intersight is that it's not supporting some players."
"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 products should be made compatible with iWORK, including more software and hardware."
"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."
"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."
"The firmware management in the S-Series is not as Cisco described when we purchased it. You should be able to manage firmware without bringing the host down, but that is not the case."
"The usability must be better."
"ManageEngine needs to fix the downtime scheduler for SNMP monitored devices. Alarms are still generated for the devices placed into scheduled maintenance."
"We would like to have support for integration with ServiceDesk."
"The product could use more intelligence, automation and general availability of product information."
"The ManageEngine features could improve to show graphs of the traffic and network utility."
"This is because of the lack of available technical knowledge in terms of competence and maximizing the power of the product."
"The GUI could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Cisco Intersight is not cheap, but it's not the most expensive product either."
"The product is cost-effective."
"It's just the standard licensing cost. There are no additional fees."
"You can get a free license for monitoring but need to purchase a license if you need extra control."
"Cisco Intersight has competitive pricing. On a scale of one to five, my rating for its pricing is four."

Questions from the Community

What needs improvement with Cisco Intersight?
The firmware management in the S-Series is not as Cisco described when we purchased it. You should be able to manage firmware without bringing the host down, but that is not the case. Unfortunately...

We are a cloud provider serving customers with IaaS.
What advice do you have for others considering Cisco Intersight?
I have experience with B-Series, C-Series, and S-Series equipment. I would recommend the S-Series but not the C-Series. I would rate this solution an eight overall.
