Overall Satisfaction with Cisco Nexus Dashboard

Large-scale networks have intricate configurations and dependencies. Cisco Nexus Dashboard simplifies operations with centralized visibility and automated workflows. It also helps with proactive issue resolution, multi-network management, especially when spread out across multiple data centers. Lastly, it helps enhance visibility on how our applications interact with each other and how much network resources they use.

Pros

  • API/Integration
  • Network Automation
  • Capacity Planning and troubleshooting

Cons

  • User interface
  • Complex subscription/licensing
Microsoft's System Center is easy to deploy when you are using Microsoft products and in a Microsoft environment. However if you are not in a MSFT environment then doesn't give you specialized networking capabilities like Cisco Nexus Dashboard. Aruba networks has good automation features, as well as security protection, but doesn't have the datacenter tools like Nexus.
The platform continuously monitors network behavior, identifying deviations that could signal potential failures or security threats. It can trigger automated workflows, which saves time and resources. It also helps with capacity planning, on how much datacenter resources we need and the best way to expand. And because it is single pane of glass it is consistent across all centers.
Instead of having to log-in to different sites and platforms, logging into a single pane of glass is much more convenient. You can control all tools, KPIs, configurations, workflows, etc., from one platform instead of having to log-in to different ones. It helps with consistency and as we grow, it is easy to scale with it.
