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."The installation is easy."
"Cisco Prime allows us to manage all the wireless controllers and access points."
"As a large organization, it is difficult to individually monitor every device. Instead, we use Cisco Prime to keep an eye on the network and services. We do not use it as a node tool, as we have other tools for network operation centers. When services go down, it can cause issues, we rely on Cisco Prime to monitor and notify us of any service disruptions. We mainly use Cisco Prime Infrastructure for configuration-level tasks."
"The solution helps with the management and support of the enterprise network."
"The most valuable feature of Cisco Prime is the heat maps."
"If an AP or any wireless device goes into critical mode, Cisco Prime sends an alert. That is the most helpful feature."
"The product's most valuable features are monitoring and configuration."
"We use the solution to control the physical service station that is part of the SCADA network. We connect and control them remotely."
"The most valuable feature of ExtremeAnalytics is wireless intrusion prevention."
"The application response latency is valuable and suitable for troubleshooting."
"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 onboarding process could be improved and developed to enhance compatibility for non-Cisco devices."
"The solution needs to include centralized management that aligns with the Greenfield network and its focus on real-time, scenario-based applications."
"The solution has issues with real time monitoring of devices and NetFlow such as inadequate visualization for reports, sources, and destinations."
"If you think about a centralized monitoring system, Cisco Prime is not good because it does not support third-party vendors like Palo Alto or FortiGate."
"It should be able to monitor Palo Alto, Juniper, and Check Point products - not just Cisco solutions."
"Lacking in integration with a SIEM tool."
"Some improvements are needed, specifically in the form of more updates and enhancements."
"ExtremeAnalytics could improve application control. The URL filtering is not working properly. We have had issues with the reports and heat maps not working as expected. We have been receiving download errors when attempting to retrieve the heat maps and reports."
"There are issues with cloud distribution of the servers, and it could be faster."
