Overall Satisfaction with Cisco Catalyst Center

We use the Catalyst Centre to manage the wireless network, perform IOS upgrades on all access switches and routers, and wireless LAN controllers using SWIM, as well as for assurance purposes. Managing multiple WLCS is very easy, and SWIM is the use case and monitoring of wireless networks.

Pros

  • Managing WLC's.
  • IOS upgrades using SWIM.
  • Assurance and monitoring network.

Cons

  • Cat center is very slow very more than 2 tasks are running at the same time.
  • WLC provisioning takes more than 1.5 hrs for 1000 AP managed sites.
  • Provisioning multiple wlcs is very slow.
  • Assurance service keeps going down.
  • Not all 9800 wlc intent config is available in Cat centre.
  • We are able to the scale the wireless network and managing multiple wlc's.
  • IOS upgrades.
  • Webex Meetings
  • Webex App
  • Webex Calling
