Centralized dashboard has improved monitoring of controllers and access points for large teams
Regarding policy-based management in Cisco Prime Network Registrar, I did not use that. As for leveraging APIs with Cisco Prime Network Registrar, I have not used any APIs. The importance of redundant configuration and failover capabilities in my network operations is highlighted by our use of a networking concept called GLBP for redundancy, and we are using HSRP as well. If you are talking about device redundancy or failover, we are doing the stack concept. I purchased Cisco Prime Network Registrar through a partner purchase. I would recommend Cisco Prime Network Registrar to other users, but it is expensive. I rate this product a nine out of ten.

Stands out in manageability with one console for DHCP and DNS
The manageability is a standout feature. I have one console for DHCP and DNS. It allows me to easily make changes, especially in the IPAM module. I can easily make reservations in the HEP and change reservations, which is not possible with Microsoft management. The management console of Microsoft did not give good management options. We now have one console. We can also see which IP addresses were given in the past. It is more convenient. I could learn it very fast. I did not have any training. We did a PoC with BlueCat, and during the PoC, I learned the things I needed.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The best features of Cisco Prime Network Registrar are that I can monitor all the controllers and access points."
"The management has become easier because, as compared to Windows DNS, Micetro is a bit easier since you have more information and it is presented better."
"The manageability is a standout feature. I have one console for DHCP and DNS."
"The most valuable feature is IP address management which automatically updates a central database by leveraging DNS."
 

Cons

"Aruba takes the license only once, but Cisco asks multiple times to renew the licenses, and it is very costly."
"In the web version, I cannot change the IP addresses in the reservation, whereas in the app version, I can. It is a feature I would like to see available in the web version."
"We initially purchased professional services from Micetro, but they didn't reach out to us until after we had already set up and been using the application for several weeks."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"As a school, we received a special price. It is more expensive after being taken over by BlueCat but not prohibitively so. The product simplifies life, and the license is not very pricey."
"Micetro's renewal price was in line with expectations, increasing slightly from last year but not significantly more than the typical year-over-year price increases we see across the market."
