Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"We enjoy having an inside view of all the data centers and all the EdgeX nodes within a single portal rather than going into the EdgeX connections one by one.""Intersight can validate our environment.""The tool helps to manage Cisco servers.""I like Intersight because of the integration with HashiCorp, Kubernetes, and each cloud because Intersight is the IO module.""What I like most about Cisco Intersight is its manageability.""The product has good integration.""Our organization uses Cisco Intersight since it helps manage our physical infrastructure.""Provides an overall view using a single portal."

More Cisco Intersight Pros →

"The tool provides centralized visibility through dashboards and alerts, allowing customers to receive reports on cloud vulnerabilities and security posture. Rapid7 InsightCloudSec provides customers with a robust understanding of cloud security.""I find the security frameworks and security tools valuable. I think they're good in the infrastructure of the code security. They are also good at threat protection.""The tool's most valuable feature is workload protection for Kubernetes and container security. It has agents that identify bugs or lack of security on runtime containers.""Agentless scanning is a possible use with Rapid7 InsightCloudSec."

Cons
"The solution needs some enhancement in order to build the cluster in two nodes.""The usability must be better.""It's a very complex solution.""The product could be easy to use.""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.""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.""The unique problem with Cisco Intersight is that it's not supporting some players."

More Cisco Intersight Cons →

"Rapid7 InsightCloudSec could be better at showing dashboards for virtual firewalls and appliances. Compared to other solutions like Palo Alto, this area is not as good. So, they should work on improving this for virtual devices.""Technical support could be better. It could also be easier, more user-friendly, and intuitive. The API keys aren't easy to understand, and the cloud layouts aren't intuitive and user-friendly. We should be able to integrate IM governance and APIs into non-compliant workloads like legacy solutions.""There are a lot of other solutions in the market, not only providing the features of a CSPM, but also CNAPP.""The tool needs to improve its documentation."
