Centralized policies have simplified hybrid operations and now support automated workflows
The challenge could be if there are any bugs. Most of the time, you may feel that the TCAM resources are getting full on the Nexus just because of some bug or the configuration is not supported. Or sometimes, if there are any vulnerabilities happening on the current running firmware, those are challenges we have. And if you talk about from the compute side, there were initial bugs such as a CPU throttle issue. Because of that, the chassis was not running in an optimum way. You may see performance issues during that time. For that, Cisco released a patch, and it got fixed. I think Cisco Intersight should allow more automation capabilities. It should be more open, and it should provide more automation capabilities. I think there is also a scope of making it a little bit simpler because a lot of policy and config sometimes becomes confusing for the user because it has a lot of config. Maybe they can do a little bit of simplification with Cisco Intersight.

Performance is relatively poor and speed needs improvement
We use CloudM to store our employees' details We use it for backup storage only. In the future, my company may go for the testing on Cloud because it has a large infrastructure. The feature I like most is its stability. In terms of improvement, the performance of the solution should be made…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Cisco Intersight allows us to manage our data center remotely, which is crucial as our data center is located in a different physical environment."
"What I like best about Cisco Intersight is the way it's developing and converging into everything that the cloud has to offer, e.g. it's converging into one platform which is good."
"What I like most about Cisco Intersight is its manageability."
"Overall, I rate Cisco Intersight a ten out of ten."
"I find the integrations to be the most valuable feature."
"It offers visibility and optimization of workloads, which are very important features for a company."
"Our organization uses Cisco Intersight since it helps manage our physical infrastructure."
"Cisco Intersight has positively impacted my organization by providing more automation and less manual work, as everything can be automatic after registration to Cisco Intersight and offering more visibility as well."
"CloudM has good stability and scalability."
 

Cons

"The unique problem with Cisco Intersight is that it's not supporting some players."
"An area for improvement in Cisco Intersight is automation. It needs more automation capabilities. Apart from enhanced automation, I want Cisco Intersight to integrate with third-party monitoring tools in its next release."
"The firmware management in the S-Series is not as Cisco described when we purchased it. You should be able to manage firmware without bringing the host down, but that is not the case."
"Regarding improvements for Cisco Intersight, I would say more third-party integration is needed."
"There is a significant issue regarding migration from UCS Manager into Intersight without formatting the Fabric Interconnects (FI), which is problematic in a production environment."
"In the future, the solution needs to plan on an extension to cover a broader range of objects since, at present, there are some Cisco devices within the range of Intersight UCS that it can't manage."
"It's a very complex solution."
"More products should be made compatible with iWORK, including more software and hardware."
"CloudM is slow compared to other solutions."
"In terms of improvement, the performance of the solution should be made better because it is slow these days."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"You can get a free license for monitoring but need to purchase a license if you need extra control."
"Cisco Intersight is not cheap, but it's not the most expensive product either."
"It's just the standard licensing cost. There are no additional fees."
"The product is cost-effective."
"Cisco Intersight has competitive pricing. On a scale of one to five, my rating for its pricing is four."
