Clients experience effective network management and comprehensive monitoring

Arista currently provides their solution for their own Arista products only. A problem occurs because customers do not have only Arista products. Sometimes they have different kinds of products available in their network. For monitoring that network, they have to either procure more solutions from third parties or they have to procure the provider OEM to manage their switches. If Arista can integrate third-party switches for monitoring purposes, it will be beneficial for the customers. Arista and other competitors such as Cisco or HPE Aruba have their own benefits. Cisco and Aruba face the challenge of having multiple OS for networking their products, whereas Arista has a single OS across their products. This is very beneficial for customers as they only have to manage a single OS.

Makes user management and application management easy for users

Speaking about the impact of the automation feature that impacted our company's operational efficiency, I can say that the complete tool works on automation. You just have to configure it, and it works, especially in areas like auto-patching updates. I suggest that others can definitely go ahead with Microsoft System Center, especially beginners who choose it, can get hands-on experience with it, and acquire a good understanding of how things work. In terms of the value and benefits derived from the use of the solution, I can say that my company's operations have been made simpler because of the product, especially in areas like user management and application management where we have been benefited a lot. I rate the tool a nine out of ten.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The product provides a central management feature. It helps in eliminating human errors. It doesn't have a lot of bugs for software."

"A single point of management and monitoring, as well as upgradation and update is valuable."

"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that it helps us manage our company's application pool, license pool, application update pool, and OS updates."

"Step-by-step documentation that clarifies the implementation procedure."

"The availability performance matrix and the reporting capabilities are the solution's most valuable features."

"The tool has many valuable features, including license tracking, software deployment, and installation deployment. However, we primarily use it for Windows updates and deployment for Windows servers and desktops. It's a complex product but very well-managed. If you use all the features, they will be valuable to your organization. It allows you to deploy desktops, manage patches, and track various features."

"We like Microsoft System Center's Operations Manager. That is primarily why we use it."

"The deployment and asset management features are the most valuable. These are the product's main features."

"The solution is easily available. That's its most valuable aspect."

"The product's initial setup phase was easy."

Cons

"CloudVision could have a user-friendly interface."

"Arista currently provides their solution for their own Arista products only. A problem occurs because customers do not have only Arista products."

"CloudVision could have a user-friendly interface."

"For me, the tool's UI seems to be too old."

"The solution's dashboard needs improvement."

"Less server consumption would help, as would better, more flexible reports."

"We have some bugs but it's stable. It doesn't break every day. It works. Like other applications, it has a lot of bugs but they're manageable."

"The multi-tenancy support needs to be improved. We need to have the ability to manage several different environments from one central point of administration."

"The solution’s pricing could be improved."

"Something super important that we need is this integration via Intune Configuration Manager."

"Microsoft System Center should be easier to manage. However, it is complex to deploy, so people hesitate to use it. Though it has many features, such as licensing, asset tracking, and software deployment, we mainly use it for Windows updates. It protects many screens and integrates with databases, but it's complex compared to other solutions. Many now use cloud-based products or other tools like Automox to deploy updates and manage vulnerabilities."
