Overall Satisfaction with Cisco DNA Center

We currently use the automation and assurance portions of the platform.

The intent is to assist us in managing starndard configurations across the enterprise, and leverage SWIM to take that role back in house from a 3d party. Our landscape is 3 data centers, 86 hospitals, 700 clinics and about a dozen corp locations

Pros

  • SWIM
  • Compliance testing
  • Notifications for vulnerability and EOL / EOS

Cons

  • RBAC - local operations team for regional support
  • Ability to store variable values for templates to be provisioned
  • Scalability - number of manageability nodes per cluster
  • Ability to insource software management
  • ability to organize devices to locations in a heirarchy
  • define network settings at global and local levels
