Find out in this report how the two Network Management Applications solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Cisco Prime allows us to manage all the wireless controllers and access points."
"I have found the solution to be scalable."
"Cisco Prime can help customers fix their Wi-Fi issues with scientific and digital data."
"We use this solution to troubleshoot our wireless systems, specifically regarding signal strength."
"Cisco Prime is user-friendly, so we are comfortable using it."
"The hardware Cisco provides is excellent. It's a well-made product."
"We use Cisco Prime for network mapping and surveys."
"The most valuable feature of Cisco Prime is its excellent audio and video conferencing with clear quality and no interruptions."
"Available on any device and can be accessed on a wide area network."
"Just one solution can handle thousands of users... So, it is a very convenient tool to use."
"Content filtering, security layer, and application customization features are the most valuable."
"We like the periodic upgrades and backups, also made via ADMs, and it makes our environment much more robust and reliable."
"We use the product for load balancing and as a reverse proxy solution."
"The most valuable features are for the ADMs and the overall monitoring environment."
"An essential component is the Director, which provides detailed insights into sessions, including identifying session failures, connection issues, user lockouts, etc. It presents a list of problems to address, enabling you to click on them and resolve them efficiently."
"The most impressive thing about Citrix ADM is that we don't encounter latency."
"Cisco Prime needs to have lower prices and more customization options."
"They can also improve the management of more enterprise devices."
"There is room for improvement in the Access layer."
"I rate Cisco Prime seven out of 10 for affordability. All Cisco solutions are expensive."
"I would rate the scalability of Cisco Prime a six out of ten. To scale up from a hundred to a thousand devices, the platform needs to be rebuilt logically. This process might require a downtime window and may involve changing the hardware or upgrading to a larger appliance."
"The product's pricing can be cheaper."
"Cisco needs to improve Prime's monitoring tab. If any device goes down, there is a 15-second lapse before we know. It would be much better if we were alerted two or three minutes before a device is about to fail, so we can dispatch a field engineer and avoid network downtime. I would like to see a feature that allows you to access the devices directly from Prime's monitoring tab. That would make work easier for us."
"The onboarding process could be improved and developed to enhance compatibility for non-Cisco devices."
"Deployment is complicated."
"Some features of Citrix ADM are available on the cloud, which could really be helpful if they were available on an on-premise version."
"Citrix is more expensive than Horizon."
"When a new version comes out, sometimes, my existing configuration gets wiped out. They should work on this so that my existing configuration doesn't get impacted with an upgrade to a newer version. There could also reduce frequent firmware upgrade activities and have a stable version so that once we upgrade it, we don't have to upgrade it for two to three years."
"I would like to see the virtual and desktop license included in the pricing."
"Citrix ADM needs to improve on its additional features and reduce the communication ports."
"The interface could be improved, some customers struggle with that."
"The tool's pricing is a pain point since we have many cheaper alternatives."
