    "If an AP or any wireless device goes into critical mode, Cisco Prime sends an alert. That is the most helpful feature."
    "The VLAN mapping function has been most impactful in simplifying our network management tasks."
    "Cisco Prime can help customers fix their Wi-Fi issues with scientific and digital data."
    "The dashboard is a valuable feature. It's very clear, and the metrics make it easy to see the current network situation."
    "What I found most beneficial from Cisco Prime is that it gives you an insight into what your network does, even when you're not actively monitoring what's going on with your network."
    "The hardware Cisco provides is excellent. It's a well-made product."
    "It helps us manage and monitor analytics and fix issues."
    More Cisco Prime [EOL] pros
    "It allows me to do more of the basic firewall features, like traffic management and others, in a single pane of glass."
    "The most valuable feature is the management from a single pane of glass."
    "A centralized platform is crucial for efficiently managing all of our switches, which were previously handled individually, leading to significant challenges."

    "Lacking in integration with a SIEM tool."
