With the Cisco DNA Center we can schedule switches upgrade, as it has an automation feature. We choose the IOS version and define what switches will update, during and after the process, we can see what switches have failed or succeeded. All the process are very safety, we never had any problem during the automation process.

Yes. Through the automation functions provided, all of it became an easy task to accomplish and thus let me spend time on other developments in the organization.

Yes, it did make tasks simplified in many ways. We can check all the network requirements and even check statistics in a single place, which makes the overall process fast and efficient. Also, it helps in minimizing configuration errors; the processes which used to take days can be done in hours.

Initial setup is hassle-free and time-saving. Once it's set up, configuring the devices is a cakewalk. It gets easier and easier once you get the hang of the software. Each and every update of the app makes it more user-friendly and less cluttered. It made upgrading, troubleshooting, and configuring the devices so easy.

Using Cisco DNA Software has made managing our networks a lot simpler. We're able to see the amount of traffic we are getting, so we are able to get a better read on our analytics. Exporting data is fairly simple, and the formats that are provided are easily readable.

I really like DNAC because it builds overlay fabric without problem and it is really user friendly to manage, integrate with other vendors. But two things that I do not like and for me is a 9 are you can not save or archive device's configurations and the other is you must buy physical server.
