Cisco DNA Analytics and Assurance Reviews & Insights

We use Cisco DNA Analytics and Assurance to help diagnose and troubleshoot wireless and wired clients on our network. We have a mix of devices that span various networks in different physical locations. The tool allows us to have more insight into what the devices are doing and how they are communicating with the rest of the network.

I think for a larger organization that has remote locations, Cisco DNA Analytics and Assurance is a godsend and will come in very useful, not only for your networking staff, but also when assisting with troubleshooting for end users. This alone can pay for itself in a very short period of time in reduced labor costs.

We were one of the first adopters of DNAC. We use the platform to manage our floor switch environment. We use the product to provide a health status of our infrastructure, OS levels and switch upgrades where we have DNAC push the configs. We use Assurance to troubleshoot problems and forecast on potential issues.

The platform is well suited for small IT departments like ours. DNAC keeps track of things which frees up resources to do other things. It simplifies switch OS upgrades by pushing out the OS and config. There was a huge learning curse when we first implemented. So new users should expect that. And there still isn't any formal training on the product.

I use Cisco DNA Analytics and Assurance to manage our network equipment.

We lose insight into data regularly when using Cisco DNA Analytics and Assurance.

Our company purchased the Cisco DNA Analytics and Assurance as a means to see deeper into, and trends happening on the network. We were missing that AI component that could intelligently use machine learning to address performance and network issues with less attention required from the administrators of the network staff.

So not everyone is in need of a smart AI checking their network metrics looking for issues before they happen or finding and alerting on problems that the network staff may not have noticed, but if you have the budget for it, it could be a huge time saver for your whole department.

Mainly Network management and BAU operations strategy. Main reason for it to have visibility on monitoring heath, performance and any connectivity issues.

Network Troubleshooting with Cisco DNA Analytics and Assurance will make smooth transition to end engineer. Expanding network and planning make easy with Cisco DNA Analytics and Assurance. Where non-Cisco devices may struggle to provide that level of infomation.
