Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, Fortinet, Broadcom and others in Network Management Applications."If an AP or any wireless device goes into critical mode, Cisco Prime sends an alert. That is the most helpful feature."
"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 installation is easy."
"Cisco Prime allows us to do a lot of functions with the users and it is flexible."
"We use Cisco Prime for network mapping and surveys."
"It helps us manage and monitor analytics and fix issues."
"We use this solution to troubleshoot our wireless systems, specifically regarding signal strength."
"Cisco Prime has been around for a long time, and it keeps getting better and better."
"Scalable solution for tracking and syncing through the Infoblox grid."
"The product is expensive compared to other vendors in the market."
"They could consider offering more flexible pricing options for their customers."
"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."
"The product needs to improve its interface and reporting."
"The solution needs to include centralized management that aligns with the Greenfield network and its focus on real-time, scenario-based applications."
"Cisco Prime needs to have lower prices and more customization options."
"Maybe it could be a little 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."
"Lacks network overview for the entire connected network."
