Cisco DNA Analytics and Assurance vs. Indeni

So not everyone is in need of a smart AI checking their network metrics looking for issues before they happen or finding and alerting on problems that the network staff may not have noticed, but if you have the budget for it, it could be a huge time saver for your whole department.

• May require an implementer to get this set up and running.
• For a software based service that you can run on your own VM's, price is still very high.
• The first setup can be a bear and you will need much help from TAC.

Incentivized

• Hardware support.
• Slack integration (not sure if really needed, just because many others have this).
• Universal connector for Linux boxes.

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

Indeni is not a substitution, I guess it can be used for operations support while Cisco Prime does configuration management and PRTG can monitor traffic and/or WAN.

Incentivized

• Loads of time saved diagnosing network issues.
• Much effort saved having to determine network performance metrics by hand.
• The Cisco brand is generally safe and trusted so you get that additional peace of mind.

Incentivized

• No, I am in the evaluation stage and cannot calculate ROI.
• Indeni can be used to support the implementation of high-scale projects.
