What's the future of Cisco's NM solution?

[agistchau]

What is everyone's thoughts on Cisco and their Network Management?

Prime Infrastructure has been a pretty decent and affordable product if unfortunately mainly only for the LAN side. Now that Cisco is shunning PI and only supporting some of the newer products (C8000 routers, Firepower firewalls) in DNA Center how are they going to provide an affordable NM solution?

At the moment DNA Center requires at least one DNA Appliance which is ~$90k list, and that doesn't even touch on the high cost of DNA subscriptions which you need for even the basic NM functions.

DANCcan not replace 100% Prime for now, but eventually Cisco point of view ( Prime 3.10 still released , that means Prime going to in the mkarket for atlease couple of uyears).

DNAC more of SD-Access solution , orchestration and assurance tool.

At this stage yes still costly solution for small enterprises, how big your network ?
