Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The tool helps to manage Cisco servers.""Cisco Intersight has valuable features for workflow automation and inventory administration.""What I like most about Cisco Intersight is its manageability.""Scalable portfolio of services for remote device management, with good cloud integration. It's also easy to set up.""Provides an overall view using a single portal.""The product has good integration.""Our organization uses Cisco Intersight since it helps manage our physical infrastructure.""We enjoy having an inside view of all the data centers and all the EdgeX nodes within a single portal rather than going into the EdgeX connections one by one."

"We get templates, so it's speed to delivery for us. It's a big difference with the template features.""Firmware compliance is one of the most valuable features.""The OneView Global Dashboard is very user-friendly and it can be used for monitoring the power consumption and temperature of the data center and racks.""The remote support automatically logs service calls and support cases with HPE, which is really good.""It's rather simple to use, and that's very important for us.""We could literally swap out a piece of hardware, slide one back into the chassis, and immediately - about three reboots later - it was identical. We didn't have to worry about configuring it, we didn't have to spend any time getting anything into place. It came back and it healed the environment almost immediately.""Just the ability to provision the servers with storage and network everything within one interface, not having to go into multiple interfaces to provision those pieces.""We lose less time managing the machines."

Cons
"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.""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 solution needs some enhancement in order to build the cluster in two nodes.""The product could be easy to use.""It's a very complex solution.""The product's setup should be easier.""The usability must be better.""The unique problem with Cisco Intersight is that it's not supporting some players."

More Cisco Intersight Cons →

"It's a little slow sometimes. Overall, I think it does what it's supposed to do. I think that as they evolve it, it'll get quicker.""We've had issues, for example, with RAM.""I would like to see them expand into other cloud platforms, non-HPE platforms.""I had some minor difficulties with upgrading, but the solution still works fine.""Use it, but do not think it is going into the clouds, because it is not. There is room for improvement.​""​Technical support is not very good. The engineers do not know a lot about the product​, even when asked simplistic questions.""The main problem that we run into, as far as stability goes, is when something loses its profile. Sometimes it requires jumping through a number of "hoops" to really get it back.""I think HPE could make more user-friendly interfaces, exclude Java and move to an HTML5 platform, make more detailed documentation, and lower the price."
