My main use case for Cisco Crosswork Network Insights is that we deployed it to automate the workloads for our service provider environment, and we are going to eventually manage 700 plus endpoints at the end of the project.
A specific example of how I use Cisco Crosswork Network Insights with those workloads is that it has been great at reducing the workload our engineers face on the day-to-day aspects of their jobs, and it has also been able to reduce the time it takes to provision a device while using NSO and has provided valuable data to assist in troubleshooting network-wide issues. Cisco Crosswork Network Insights has been a pivotal aspect to our multi-million dollar network refresh.
The best features that Cisco Crosswork Network Insights offers include a single pane of glass, multi-vendor comparison, and the ability to reduce engineer workload.
The single pane of glass and multi-vendor comparison features help my team day-to-day because with the single pane of glass, we are able to manage everything at a single place, hence saving a lot of time, and the administration becomes very easy. Additionally, there is real-time network monitoring and analytics, multi-vendor and multi-domain support, scalable AI-driven insights to make data-driven decisions easy, and a modular application ecosystem with open APIs.
Cisco Crosswork Network Insights has empowered our team to deploy network devices at customer locations more efficiently than ever before, and it also delivers critical network telemetry, streamlining troubleshooting and reducing reliance on manual processes.
Cisco Crosswork Network Insights has positively impacted my organization by enhancing automation for endpoint deployment, hence saving a lot of time, and network usage statistics delivery to the end user's environment has been quicker.
Cisco Crosswork Network Insights is not an easy tool to use.
It is not an easy-to-use product and thus requires some training to ensure that it can be used to the best of its capabilities.
I have been using Cisco Crosswork Network Insights for five years.
Cisco Crosswork Network Insights is very stable, and I have not experienced any downtime.
Cisco Crosswork Network Insights is very scalable, and it can handle my organization's growth well.
Cisco Crosswork Network Insights supports large and complex environments.
The customer support is very proactive and responsive compared to other competitors.
Previously, we used Juniper and SolarWinds Engineer's Toolset.
We decided to switch from Juniper and SolarWinds Engineer's Toolset to Cisco Crosswork Network Insights because they were a bit more expensive, they were not providing what we needed, especially to automate the workloads of our services, and the customer support from their side was not as quick to respond and was less powerful.
I have seen a return on investment because Cisco Crosswork Network Insights has enhanced automation for endpoint deployment, hence saving a lot of time, and network usage statistics have been great because it helps us make data-driven decisions easily. Delivery to the end-user environment has been quicker and more efficient, hence improving our productivity overall in my organization.
My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing is that the prices are good.
Before choosing Cisco Crosswork Network Insights, I evaluated other options, including Progress WhatsUp Gold.
Cisco Crosswork Network Insights has been very fundamental and robust and helpful in my organization, empowering our team to deploy network devices at customer locations more efficiently than ever, and it also delivers critical network telemetry, streamlining troubleshooting and reducing reliance on manual processes. It has enabled us to be more consistent and repeatable in our sets of tasks and helps us improve our operational efficiency and service quality.
Cisco Crosswork Network Insights has been a pivotal aspect of our multi-million dollar network refresh, making it a great tool that enhances automation for endpoint deployment, hence saving a lot of time and cost.
When used fully, Cisco Crosswork Network Insights provides valuable data that network engineers would otherwise have to hunt for on their own.
I rate Cisco Crosswork Network Insights a nine out of 10.
