Centralized dashboard has improved monitoring of controllers and access points for large teams
Regarding policy-based management in Cisco Prime Network Registrar, I did not use that. As for leveraging APIs with Cisco Prime Network Registrar, I have not used any APIs. The importance of redundant configuration and failover capabilities in my network operations is highlighted by our use of a networking concept called GLBP for redundancy, and we are using HSRP as well. If you are talking about device redundancy or failover, we are doing the stack concept. I purchased Cisco Prime Network Registrar through a partner purchase. I would recommend Cisco Prime Network Registrar to other users, but it is expensive. I rate this product a nine out of ten.
