Cons
"It is not easy to add or expand the product.""There are a lot of bugs in the solution. This is an area in the solution that can be improved.""I would like to see more integration with other solutions.""There could be an improvement with the integration with the newest solutions from other vendors' technologies.""Simplifying the user interface would go a long way to making it more usable.""We cannot depend on this solution to manage all of the data center's infrastructure.""The areas where this product can be improved are the integrations and the UI. These features are not as friendly compared to VMware products.""The product could allow more programmatic opportunities through better development of the API."

More Cisco UCS Director Cons →

"Rapid7 InsightCloudSec could be better at showing dashboards for virtual firewalls and appliances. Compared to other solutions like Palo Alto, this area is not as good. So, they should work on improving this for virtual devices.""The tool needs to improve its documentation.""There are a lot of other solutions in the market, not only providing the features of a CSPM, but also CNAPP.""Technical support could be better. It could also be easier, more user-friendly, and intuitive. The API keys aren't easy to understand, and the cloud layouts aren't intuitive and user-friendly. We should be able to integrate IM governance and APIs into non-compliant workloads like legacy solutions."
