Overall Satisfaction with Cisco DNA Analytics and Assurance
We were one of the first adopters of DNAC. We use the platform to manage our floor switch environment. We use the product to provide a health status of our infrastructure, OS levels and switch upgrades where we have DNAC push the configs. We use Assurance to troubleshoot problems and forecast on potential issues.
- Push configs to new floors or during switch upgrades
- Assurance to troubleshoot issues
- Inventory
- Keep track of infrastructure OS levels
- Early on the product was unstable. Since fixed.
- The need to contact the BU when TAC cannot solve the issue. This happens all the time.
- Upgrades to the product are not smooth and take a great deal of time.
- Assurance
- Inventory
- OS/config pushes during upgrades or switch replacements
- The product has had a positive impact and ROI for our small team
- It has negatively impacted our OPEX due to the licensing fees
- SolarWinds Network Configuration Manager (NCM) and Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring
We moved away from Solarwinds during the breach. Haven't touched them with a 10 foot pole since.We looked at Splunk but decided to stick with a Cisco product since we are a Cisco shop.
