Paragon Insights was chosen as it was able to handle more products than the Cisco Nexus Dashboard. The second qualifying decision point was the level of integration Paragon Insights had over the Nexus Dashboard. Both products would service the need of the client, but Paragon …
Cisco Nexus Dashboard Insights is a powerful network monitoring software. It may assist you in more effectively monitoring your network. With the program's assistance, we can detect a wide range of network flaws and irregularities. Furthermore, it eliminates an interruption in the services we offer our consumers while also allowing us to reduce our high rates. Technicians no longer need to utilize CLI to copy and paste hundreds of coding lines. If you want a powerful programmable management program for your next-generation data centre, this is the program for you.
There are many products in this particular space. I believe Juniper has divided up the product suite which comprises automation, programmability and general DevOps, but this also makes it frustrating, as the functionality may not be inherent to the particular product. I recommend making sure all use-cases are covered by the product or products prior to being implementation, because a partial solution may grow stagnant or losing funding if it does not meet all KPI.
Visibility: it is one of its key features that supports us by showing multidimensional views and facilitates [use] in the monitoring process.
Customization: its flexibility is worth appreciating and its dashboard offers customizations and we can have resource metrics according to our personalization.
Integration: integration is easy and great that allows us to integrate it with any 3rd source platform.
Data collection is another feature that allows us to collect data in our desired standard method.
With the latest version release of Cisco Nexus Dashboard to version 3.0.1 I can say that most of the features have already improved but one of the wishlists that I want for ND is the possibility of extracting lists of Anomaly.
Include older versions of Firmware in the list of choices when doing the firmware upgrade analysis, currently only the recommended is in the list of choices.
If possible, include all the prechecks in the Firmware pre-upgrade analysis same in the script provided by Cisco.
For the end user, it is relatively easy to use. However, some training and practice is a must because the NSO is not as straightforward as the traditional router CLI. For the administrator, Cisco Network Service Orchestrator (NSO) is just like another program running on the Linux system--there is no big difference.
Great and effective automation functionalities and the tools on network security management are the best and easy data reports building. Cisco Nexus Dashboard Fabric Controller feature for the network monitoring and easy management of various services and even offers the best analytics and also powerful integration tools for easy data migration.
It's an upgrade from DCNM and worth looking into. We're trying to solve the issue of Creating and maintaining VLAN fabrics. Speed and ease of use are much better than other options. The app is great; the functionality is solid. Though It can have an improved UI, and user navigation could be simpler. It helps track your data and pipelines; you can set it up in different ways to monitor different flows about where its data is. It has in-built integration with Splunk, which is what was helpful.
We decided to go for Paragon after checking all the pros and cons as we didn’t have a good experience of Memfault and maybe it was just because we haven’t made enough research on it and we had to suffer cause of its malfunctioning and difficulty. Moreover, I think that I can never regard Memfault as a complete package which Paragon insight definitely is.
The platform is very well done, and to date, I have had no complaints about the implementation of the platform and no security issues or vulnerabilities. Cisco in all its product releases new versions to resolve security issues or bugs that appear on the platform, this is a big plus.
From the experience of use, I can affirm that the tool improves the user experience since it reduced the time in the administration of the infrastructure, the prediction of events, as well as the suggestions for solving the problems.
all the aforementioned has been simplified thanks to the tool, in turn, it helps us to maintain the network in high availability.
The impact has been very positive due to the simplification of the administration, which in turn reduces the detection times, leading to a reduction in costs.
