Overall Satisfaction with Cisco Catalyst Center

Cisco Catalyst Center is helping us in simplifying our network management, and it is also reducing our operations cost and improving agility by turning a traditionally complex network into a secure and intelligent platform. It is helping the IT team to automate configurations, monitor performance and enforcing consistent security policies and gain end to end visibility into the users, devices and applications.

Pros

  • Complexity in initial set up and configuration.
  • Latency in large deployments.
  • Reduced operational cost
  • Enhanced security posture

Cisco Catalyst is always better in deeper Integration with Cisco hardware and software and for policy based segmentation for security compliance at scale and mainly this is on premises deployment while others are mainly on cloud
