    If an AP or any wireless device goes into critical mode, the solution sends an alert
    As engineers, we cannot physically monitor all the devices. We cannot go and roam all the floors of every building. For example, say there is a city with four or five companiesthere. An engineer cannot run around to check that all the devices are up and stable. With Cisco Prime, we can go to the monitor tab and check the physical devices. It shows you a list. For example, it will say that there are 10 APs in critical mode at the Las Vegas building. At the New York City site, there are five devices. You can dispatch the engineers to troubleshoot the problem. There's no need to send someone to check every floor. If there is a new deployment, you don't need to physically check the old setup. We only need to add the sitemap to Cisco Prime, input the model numbers of the devices, and verify where each device is located, so we can upgrade.

    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 technical support team is very good."
    "The most valuable feature of Cisco Prime is the heat maps."
    "The installation is easy."
    "Cisco Prime has been around for a long time, and it keeps getting better and better."
    "Cisco Prime allows us to manage all the wireless controllers and access points."
    "The solution provides data that allows us to time travel through logs and perform remote operations or troubleshooting."
    "Cisco Prime is user-friendly, so we are comfortable using it."
    "The interfaces are a valuable feature."
    More Cisco Prime [EOL] pros
    "The product greatly improved our organization in terms of making configuration, deployment, and firmware upgrades easy for multiple automated devices."
    "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."
     

    Cons

    "The onboarding process could be improved and developed to enhance compatibility for non-Cisco devices."
    "The solution needs to include centralized management that aligns with the Greenfield network and its focus on real-time, scenario-based applications."
    "If you look at some of the wireless site-survey tools that are available in the commercial space, Cisco should include similar solutions, which would help our on-plant engineers when they're doing a site survey."
    "The reporting feature of Cisco Prime should be improved."
    "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."
    "Cisco can only be used for Cisco environments and is not compatible with other vendors."
    "The product needs to improve its interface and reporting."
    "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."
    More Cisco Prime [EOL] cons
    "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."
    "This cloud solution is built on microservices, and Juniper continuously adds new ones to enhance performance or introduce additional services."
     

    Pricing and Cost Advice

    "I would rate the pricing of Cisco Prime a seven out of ten."
    "The price of Cisco Prime was reasonable because we purchased it as part of a Cisco One package. The package was a bundle of Cisco solutions together, such as Cisco ISE and CMX. The price is reasonable com compared to other solutions."
    "The cost is quite high."
    "Cisco Prime is an expensive solution."
    "You need to get special quotes from the company for each order."
    "The solution is not inexpensive but is worth it for large-scale environments."
    "The product is expensive compared to other vendors in the market."
    "The product's performance monitoring feature could be more intuitive."
