Cisco Prime is a network management program suite for Windows that provides users with a wide range of software developed by Cisco Systems. Please note that at the moment of writing this review the ecosystem is no longer supported by the developers.

Unified management

The dashboard presents a single graphical interface to manage various network components, including routers, switchers, wireless access points and more. This unified approach saves time and reduces the complexity of administration tasks.

With the help of real time monitoring tools, you can track network health, performance metrics, and device statuses. It is also possible to perform historical data analysis to identify trends and potential issues. There is support for deploying consistent configurations across network hardware, reducing the risk of errors.

Integrations and reports

Thanks to integration with Cisco Identity Services Engine, you can set up identity-based access control and policy enforcement across the network. AVC technology enables deep inspection of traffic, allowing you to optimize applications for better performance.

Another standout aspect of this program distribution is the ability to generate detailed reports. Thus, you can assess security vulnerabilities and ensure compliance. To exchange encrypted messages within a company, you may try another Cisco utility called Cisco Jabber.
