Cisco Spaces vs. Coupa Supply Chain Design & Planning

I think it's well suited for real estate management teams when they are drowning in data, but they're starting from insights. I think that's most appropriate. It's possibly not the right solution for smaller sites. So if it's very obvious where you need to go or you don't need that visibility because the office is particularly small, it doesn't make sense at all.

Coupa is well-suited for stable demand patterns. Time phased Safety Stock Optimization seems like it could use improvement. It is well-suited for making business decisions related to tradeoffs between inventory, lead time, etc.

• So the first thing it does really well is a lot of our sites are rural, so we don't have very good cellular connectivity. So we invested in this product because we want our clients, our customers that are coming in to be able to walk in and be able to use a our wireless infrastructure just like it was a cellular device. So they don't even know, they walk in, they think, man, my cellular's better right now. I can do all the things that I wanna do. I can do video. And they don't even know. So that's the biggest bonus for us.

• Very easy to import and export data and has multiple ways of modeling.
• Nice visualizations.

• I would say out-of-the-box plugins. It's very easy to make it for DNA spaces, but I'd love to see more part more companies partner with them so that the plugins are just available to add on right out of the box. You don't have to work with a vendor and say, "Hey, I need you to come in and develop this API", it's already there. That would be the one thing that I would say that could get a little bit more help with.

• Community user group
• Free, accessible training
• Simulation to solve the problem...not just to test the optimized solution against

Cisco Spaces is important in our day to day operations. As well as working with other companies. The platform provides a safe space to work and collaborate from employees to partners.

Spaces is very easy to use. I am glad that Cisco took the DNA platform and made it more user friendly. It is a simple single pane of glass that has every thing you need in one place. To me, it is very self explanatory

Support staff is very helpful and responsive. When they give you a window of when they will get back to you, they try to aim to wait as minimal as possible. Support tries to have a least an idea of what the problem is and ask what troubleshooting have you done. They would prefer not to have to go over troubleshooting steps that didn’t work before.
