Overall Satisfaction with Cisco Spaces

We use Cisco DNA Spaces for wifi analytics. Dwell time, path analysis, people counting, etc. We were an existing CMX user/customer and migrated to Spaces about 3 years ago. We also migrated out wifi portal page to Cisco DNA Spaces. This has also lessoned our administration for our server team.
  • Connect & Locate guests
  • Present Portal Page to guests
  • Gives us a rough idea of how many guests are in the Museum.
  • Portal Page changes cannot be made by the customer. You need to work with the Spaces team to modify the page.
  • APIs for extracting information is cumbersome.
  • General slowness on the platform.
  • Cisco DNA Spaces requires licenses. CMX did not.
  • The product hasn't provided a ROI as we've had to buy licenses. Where we didn't with CMX.
  • There's a learning curve if your migrating form CMX to Spaces.
Cisco DNA Spaces is the next iteration for CMX. CMX is be retired and the move to Spaces was just a next step for us. All the features in CMX are present in Spaces. As well as additional features and capabilities.

Cisco DNA Spaces is well suited as a replacement for CMX. It will provide information on guest dwell time, path analysis, connect and locate. It will also provide a guest portal page if you don't have one or can migrate an existing one.
