Overall Satisfaction with Cisco Intersight
Cisco Intersight is the first Web tool that I open in the morning. My team and I are using it to take a look at all of our Cisco HyperFlex Clusters and all of our Cisco UCS Standalone Servers to see if there is any new problem or any problem left that we can address today. We are the only department using it, cause we are the IT department.
Pros
- One single pane of glass for all the servers
- You are able to configure the views, so it matches your needs
- All HyperFlex Cluster, all UCS Managers and all UCS servers through one tool
Cons
- The on-prem version needs quicker updates
- HyperFlex stretched cluster upgrade still missing
- Positive is the single pane of glass for the morning, so it saves us time!
I do not know any other software that is bringing the same abilities as Cisco Intersight if you have a Cisco-orientated Datacenter as we do.
It saves me time every morning when opening up just Cisco Intersight instead of eight Cisco HyperFlex Connects, four Cisco UCS managers, and some other tools. So it simplifies the morning routine by a minimum of fifteen minutes every day. Also, it saves us time when there is a problem and we are able to open a TAC case for that problem through Cisco Intersight or jump directly to the problematic management UI.
No, we do not use the API by now, but are planning to use it to integrate into our PRTG, so we are even quicker to get new errors or warnings.
