Sales Leader - Data Center at YSSY & Co
Allows integration with other solutions and orchestration of the data center system
Pros and Cons
- "I like Intersight because of the integration with HashiCorp, Kubernetes, and each cloud because Intersight is the IO module."
- "The unique problem with Cisco Intersight is that it's not supporting some players."
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
Intersight is the best solution with the data center. I like Intersight because of the integration with HashiCorp, Kubernetes, and each cloud because Intersight is the IO module. I like the orchestration of the data center system. Cisco can be integrated with Pure Storage, Veeam, HashiCorp, and Umbrella.
What needs improvement?
The unique problem with Cisco Intersight is that it's not supporting some players. For example, Dell and ATP. I have a problem with integrating the existing solutions in the data center.
I would like to see integration with the observability solution.
For how long have I used the solution?
I've been using this solution since 2018.

Pros and Cons
- "Our organization uses Cisco Intersight since it helps manage our physical infrastructure."

What is our primary use case?
Our organization uses Cisco Intersight since it helps manage our physical infrastructure.
What is most valuable?
I am still assessing the solution's features since I haven't found it to be all that valuable till now.
What needs improvement?
There is still some work to be done on the solution. It does take care of the monitoring part but doesn't do it too well. Functionality-wise, it also doesn't manage as well as it used to do in the past.
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.

I have been using Cisco Intersight for about six months. I am using the solution in our company. I am using the solution's latest version. My company has a partnership with Cisco Intersight.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The solution's overall stability is pretty fine.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
It is a scalable solution.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I use SolarWinds NPM. Though SolarWinds NPM and Cisco Intersight are used for slightly different purposes, they are both essentially used for monitoring.
SolarWinds NPM is able to monitor a much larger range of devices compared to Cisco Intersigh. Intershight can predominantly be used for other Cisco devices only.
How was the initial setup?
The product is deployed on-premises.
The product was easy to implement.
The deployment phase was done in a week.
One person was required for the implementation process.
During the installation procedure, the tool was deployed the way I needed it.
What about the implementation team?
I was involved in the solution's installation.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
Market share is one advantage Cisco Intersight has over its competitors.
What other advice do I have?
At present, it is not easy to integrate Cisco Intersight with products from other vendors.
It can be reasonably set up, and it is easy to get it running after that.
The product is good and works with other Cisco devices.
Overall, I rate the solution a seven out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
