    Robust, cost-effective, and provides good visibility, but the scalability could improve
    We are extremely satisfied with the reliability and robustness of Cisco Prime Infrastructure, which we have been using for many years. Compared to newer products such as DNS centers or others, it has proven to be much more stable, which is important for large-scale operations. Stability is a primary concern for us, and we are glad that Cisco Prime Infrastructure meets our expectations in that regard. Furthermore, in regards to Legacy Plus new hardware, Cisco Prime has proven to be a reliable and adaptable solution thus far. Not only can it support older hardware, but it also has the capability to handle new features with the latest updates. If we consider new solutions such as DNS Center, we may have to sacrifice some legacy features that we still rely on. We may need to continue using these legacy features for a few more years due to various reasons such as budget constraints or the site not being a high priority. However, if we switch to a new product at this stage, we may lose a lot of the monitoring and other capabilities that we have with Cisco Prime. We have a close relationship with Cisco and understand that they are not prioritizing investments in Cisco Prime as they are encouraging customers to adopt the Cisco DNA Center. This means that we don't anticipate many new features to be added to the product in the future. While we know that we will eventually have to transition to a new solution, in the meantime, we plan to do a quick refresh of our legacy products.

    Reduces the number of trouble tickets and is easy to deploy and troubleshoot
    Deployment is straightforward and quick. This solution uses templates that simplify configuring for many devices simultaneously. If some network devices miscontribute or have a problem in configuration, I can solve this problem without an administrator. It collects many parameters from each device, and after that, we can get good reports about working equipment and the network. With this installation process, you must first prepare configuration templates in the cloud. After that, you can easily add new devices without further configuration. Once the devices connect to the cloud, they automatically receive the configuration. It doesn't take more than one hour, depending on the network. I rate the initial setup a ten out of ten, where one is difficult and ten is easy.

    Quotes from Members

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

    Pros

    "The hardware Cisco provides is excellent. It's a well-made product."
    "It helps us manage and monitor analytics and fix issues."
    "Cisco Prime can help customers fix their Wi-Fi issues with scientific and digital data."
    "The solution helps with the management and support of the enterprise network."
    "Cisco Prime allows us to do a lot of functions with the users and it is flexible."
    "Cisco Prime has been around for a long time, and it keeps getting better and better."
    "The most valuable feature of Cisco Prime is its excellent audio and video conferencing with clear quality and no interruptions."
    "We use the solution to control the physical service station that is part of the SCADA network. We connect and control them remotely."
    More Cisco Prime [EOL] pros
    "The most valuable feature of Juniper Mist Wired Assurance is zero-touch provisioning for query edge switches. You can connect the switch directly to your edge locations and then directly onboard, similar to the Cisco Meraki solutions."
    "The customer chose this solution because it helped reduce the number of trouble tickets. It’s easy to deploy and troubleshoot, as the solution uses AI to identify root issues."
    "The product greatly improved our organization in terms of making configuration, deployment, and firmware upgrades easy for multiple automated devices."
     

    Cons

    "The user interface of Cisco Prime could be more user-friendly and increase its performance."
    "The product needs to improve its stability."
    "Cisco can only be used for Cisco environments and is not compatible with other vendors."
    "The onboarding process could be improved and developed to enhance compatibility for non-Cisco devices."
    "The reporting feature of Cisco Prime should be improved."
    "The reporting could be simplified and the information made clearer to the user."
    "Cisco Prime needs to have lower prices and more customization options."
    "There is room for improvement in the Access layer."
    More Cisco Prime [EOL] cons
    "This cloud solution is built on microservices, and Juniper continuously adds new ones to enhance performance or introduce additional services."
    "The configuration aspect of the solutions is relatively new, but I have had positive experiences. However, for more advanced tasks, such as VXLANs on the EX platform, Juniper Mist Wired Assurance may not be the best option due to certain limitations. Nonetheless, it does have a CLI override feature for specialized configurations that cannot be done through the GUI."
    "The platform’s monitoring tool is not up to the mark. It is not proactive enough and lacks some capabilities. Additionally, they should work on providing integration with other vendors."
     

    Pricing and Cost Advice

    "The solution is not inexpensive but is worth it for large-scale environments."
    "We update the license every five years."
    "I would rate the solution's pricing an eight out of ten."
    "The product's performance monitoring feature could be more intuitive."
    "You need to get special quotes from the company for each order."
    "Cisco Prime is an expensive solution."
    "If we have a license for Cisco DNA, we can use the same license for Cisco Prime."
    "I would rate the pricing of Cisco Prime a seven out of ten."
