Cisco Intersight Reviews

We're using Cisco Intersight for performance monitoring, such as checking the hardware, plus performance management. We couldn't do performance monitoring with just the Cisco UCS Manager.

What I like most about Cisco Intersight is its manageability.

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.

I've been using Cisco Intersight for more than two years.

Based on experience, Cisco Intersight is a stable solution.

Cisco Intersight is a scalable tool that you can scale up and down according to your needs.

The technical support for Cisco Intersight is knowledgeable and responsive, so my rating for the support team is four out of five.

We're using Cisco UCS Manager at the same time we're using Cisco Intersight. Still, with Cisco UCS Manager, we can't monitor the performance of the hardware, so we're using Cisco Intersight for that purpose.

Setting up Cisco Intersight was easy, so the initial setup is a four out of five for me.

Cisco Intersight has competitive pricing. On a scale of one to five, my rating for its pricing is four.

We evaluated the Cisco UCS Manager.

Cisco itself maintains Cisco Intersight at the ground level. You need one to two people to make some checks, but Cisco handles maintenance. Twenty people use Cisco Intersight within the company.

My rating for Cisco Intersight is seven out of ten.

My company is a Cisco Intersight partner.

It's deployed on the cloud and on-prem.

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.

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.

I've been using this solution since 2018.

It's stable.

The cost depends on the case. It's just the standard licensing cost. There are no additional fees. I'm happy with the pricing.

I would rate this solution 9 out of 10.

Cisco Intersight has valuable features for workflow automation and inventory administration.

The product could be easy to use, similar to CloudIQ. Additionally, they should provide more information to make decisions.

We are a Cisco partner. Thus, we communicate directly with cloud specialists in their technical support team.

The initial setup process is easy.

I rate Cisco Intersight a seven out of ten.

Our organization uses Cisco Intersight since it helps manage our physical infrastructure.

I am still assessing the solution's features since I haven't found it to be all that valuable till now.

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.

The solution's overall stability is pretty fine.

It is a scalable solution.

Only a dozen employees are using the solution in my company.

Our company plans to increase the solution's usage in the future.

The technical support by Cisco is very good. I rate the technical support an eight out of ten.

Positive

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.

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.

I was involved in the solution's installation.

Market share is one advantage Cisco Intersight has over its competitors.

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.

Our primary use case is for monitoring locations. We are partners with Cisco.

I find the integrations to be the most valuable feature. 

One of the issues is that they are integrating a lot of technologies into the product and when new features appear, the service becomes full of bugs and doesn't work. I have to wait while they go back and make the application stable again. I'd like to see more integration with other companies. 

I've been using this solution for three years. 

The solution is stable most of the time, it's only when new features are added that it becomes less stable. 

The solution is pretty scalable. 

The initial setup is simple. 

I rate this product a seven out of 10.
