Overall Satisfaction with Cisco Catalyst Center

From managing my network, to using the new AI feature to figure out past configurations, Cisco Catalyst center has made my job easier. Being able to find problems on my network with ease and optimize it as well, Cisco Catalyst center is a great purchase for our school!

Pros

  • reliability
  • perfomance

Cons

  • response
  • less clicks to get job done
  • analyze data on a live line
  • older model
  • more capabilities with other devices.
When I first got to this job, it was just a on-prem network. So having the Cisco Catalyst Center already in place was a great tool to figure out where everything was and everything in security. Still working on a hybrid network but this definitely helped.
no remote capabilities where we are so having the hybrid environment didnt really work. Have made changes to start on a hybrid environment.
OUr facility is in a pretty remote area so having the option for a hybrid environment wasnt setup when I first got there. I have made drastic changes in getting us into a hybrid environment but we still have work to do.
Having the capability to have all devices under one umbrella is a great option; routers, switches, firewalls, Cisco Catalyst center, etc. Cisco catalyst center is a great option to optimize all of these, manage and analyze.
