More Cisco Intersight Pros →

"I find the monitoring console very helpful. With one click, I can see how we are performing, and at the same time, I can see what data is flowing.""The product retains a lot of log data for subsequent analysis.""It is very easy to monitor multiple cloud environments. It's like a single pane of glass for us. We can use it to monitor our on-prem and both of our cloud environments as opposed to having different tools for each environment. It makes it all come together in one tool.""The data collection from our VMs, containers, databases, and backend components is valuable.""The initial setup was straightforward. We didn't find it to be too complex.""Splunk has drawn our attention to how the network is running. If there are alarms on things that are not functioning, it gives us early warning on problems that could arise.""It is a great resource for us because we have so many different data sources and to be able to aggregate that and put it through a concise dashboard or an alert really helps.""The most valuable feature in this solution is the log searching."

Cons
"The solution needs some enhancement in order to build the cluster in two nodes.""When new features are added, the service becomes full of bugs.""The usability must be better.""The product could be easy to use.""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.""It's a very complex solution.""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."

More Cisco Intersight Cons →

"The product collects a lot of data but it does not assure that it collects all of it.""It does not have a user-friendly interface and it is difficult to use.""The deployment can be quite complex.""It would be useful if they provided some help pages. If you don't know too much about the tool, there should be more documentation readily available. It would be useful if they had a help button embedded in the solution so you could ask questions and get answers.""The solution's stability is an area that has room for improvement. It needs to provide constant stability to its users.""It's a bit difficult to use. It takes some time to get into it and to get it to do what you would like it to do. It is not straightforward to use it.""The price has room for improvement.""We still use Splunk Enterprise licensing. A lot of the newer features go into Splunk Cloud before Enterprise. We're not looking to switch our licensing over, so we're falling behind on the newer features."
