Overall Satisfaction with Cisco Nexus Dashboard
The product is supposed to help us recognize anomalies/bugs/alerts that cause problems. We also want to use it for pre-change analysis regarding configuration changes in Cisco ACI. Furthermore, we intend to use Cisco Nexus Dashboard for flow analysis and to monitor VMWare Hosts. The integration with Intersight should allow easier case management.
- Cisco Nexus Dashboard/NDI Upgrades
- VCenter integration
- Bug reports
- Alert rules are not working properly
- Anomaly detection
- Finding dropped flows
- In my experience, it's unfortunately a waste of time.
- Some anomalies found were actually useful, but were only found by chance.
- A lot of false positives i.e. anomalies found that were generated because of bugs.
We have not used any other products. Before Cisco Nexus Dashboard we relied on the Cisco ACI APIC UI to see any faults.
Cisco Nexus Dashboard/NDI has not yet been able to help us.
No benefits as of yet, since the product has too many bugs. We are still hoping for improvement.
