Cisco Nexus Dashboard
I can recommend this product to any organization or colleague facing any network challenge to get [a] permanent solution. It utilizes resources in any institution by enhancing early detection of network issues and controlling applications that exceed the required thresholds. It monitors the flow of network in our company ensuring that there is excellent network configuration in all our applications.

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.

For us, it's not yet a single pane of glass for the ACI network as Network Assurance Engine is not yet integrated into the [Cisco] Nexus Dashboard. This will be the case after the next update we plan to do. Today it's a tool I use daily to figure out if something unusual or unexpected happened in the SDN part of our network. The legacy network is still monitored with different tools.

I have used Cisco Catalyst 1000 series switches which allow many devices to be run on HTTP. One limitation is that this software can only be used in small companies and environments as compared to Cisco Nexus Dashboard [Insights], which can be used in broader areas and companies.

It's a very secure platform that can manage all the business networks, monitor various network traffic, and is easy project management software. Cisco Nexus Dashboard Fabric Controller can centralize all the network traffic in one room for easy and secure management and threat detection capability and even the secure channels offered are excellent.

Return on Investment
Cisco Nexus Dashboard
- The unification of the entire network in a single tool is something that helps many companies today.
- The platform helps you to monitor and find errors much faster and this generates a lower impact on both the internal network and customer service.
