"The most valuable is the assistance for network support."

"The endpoint information Cisco Prime generates helps us troubleshoot, and it's also useful for compliance reporting and endpoint identification."

"Cisco Prime is user-friendly, so we are comfortable using it."

"Cisco Prime allows us to manage all the wireless controllers and access points."

"The product's most valuable features are monitoring and configuration."

"Cisco Prime has been around for a long time, and it keeps getting better and better."

"It helps us manage and monitor analytics and fix issues."

"As a large organization, it is difficult to individually monitor every device. Instead, we use Cisco Prime to keep an eye on the network and services. We do not use it as a node tool, as we have other tools for network operation centers. When services go down, it can cause issues, we rely on Cisco Prime to monitor and notify us of any service disruptions. We mainly use Cisco Prime Infrastructure for configuration-level tasks."

"The solution's most valuable feature is log reporting. It has a wide range of products for small, medium, and enterprise customers. The tool is very user-friendly and straightforward, which sets them apart from other vendors. It also has good integration with other solutions."

"The VPN features are the most valuable."

"We have found the most valuable features of Fortinet FortiGate Cloud are the firewall and the VPN connection manager. I am not worried about any cyber attacks, the solution is secure and I receive daily summary reports."

"It is a solid solution for business environments. Investing in this technology can yield significant cost and security enhancements."

"The platform is scalable."

"Maybe it could be a little cheaper."

"This solution could be improved if it could monitor configuration changes."

"Cisco needs to improve Prime's monitoring tab. If any device goes down, there is a 15-second lapse before we know. It would be much better if we were alerted two or three minutes before a device is about to fail, so we can dispatch a field engineer and avoid network downtime. I would like to see a feature that allows you to access the devices directly from Prime's monitoring tab. That would make work easier for us."

"The user interface of Cisco Prime could be more user-friendly and increase its performance."

"We would like to see the inclusion of detailed alerts."

"I would rate the scalability of Cisco Prime a six out of ten. To scale up from a hundred to a thousand devices, the platform needs to be rebuilt logically. This process might require a downtime window and may involve changing the hardware or upgrading to a larger appliance."

"The reporting feature of Cisco Prime should be improved."

"The solution can be slow at times."

"The console or demonstration tool could be more user friendly."

"However, the absence of certain features like CLI is a drawback."

"If more products convert their configuration to Fortinet configuration, it will be easy for migration."

"Some configuration changes would be helpful."

"I would like to see a SIEM bundled together with this because customers are looking into better reporting and more proactive security solutions."

"In terms of stability, it could be improved."

"I would rate the pricing of Cisco Prime a seven out of ten."

"I rate the solution's pricing an eight out of ten."
