Cons
"Cisco Prime could improve the notifications in the system. Having more details about what is happening would be useful, such as traffic numbers or who is connected. We can see them through the firewall controller, but it would be better if you can see them from one place.""Cisco can only be used for Cisco environments and is not compatible with other vendors.""The user interface of Cisco Prime could be more user-friendly and increase its performance.""The solution has issues with real time monitoring of devices and NetFlow such as inadequate visualization for reports, sources, and destinations.""The solution needs to include centralized management that aligns with the Greenfield network and its focus on real-time, scenario-based applications.""The solution is not easy to configure.""They can also improve the management of more enterprise devices.""It should be able to monitor Palo Alto, Juniper, and Check Point products - not just Cisco solutions."

More Cisco Prime Cons →

"It will be better if they can make the simple network topology part more presentable. It would also be better if they had API integration and integration with third-party devices.""The price could be less costly.""Something that could be improved is the lack of integration with Cisco switches. In the next release, I would like to see better reporting.""It is not a very flexible product.""This solution could be improved by offering monitoring for all devices and not only Huawei devices."
