Great tech application
Very easy to use product. It's very accurate and a huge timesaver. I also like the QR code pop up which gives you building level navigation assistance without the need to install any applications on your phone. This is the perfect tool for busy office workers or for companies who are trying to optimize their real estate investments.
- Ease of use
- Accuracy
- Simplicity of application
- Microsoft integration

Cisco Spaces gave insight to our Space
Cisco Spaces makes our hybrid environment work more fluidly. Cisco Spaces not only tells our technicians when space is at a max level but also tells us when rogue devices are on our network. Cisco Spaces works by providing insight on not only what resources are used but if the bandwidth is being used beyond capacity and where. There are so many different types of metrics that you have access to that you can customize to your dashboard to see only the metrics you need for your business.
- Connecting the Hybrid Environment
- Indoor Analytics
- Location of devices
- Be able to better lock out devices outside the active window
- More precise location tracking
- Better integration for the switches with the cloud

Cisco Spaces Review
So the biggest issue that we ran into is most people in healthcare know about a DAS. So a DAS is very expensive and you also have to pay the carrier to take care of it and you don't get any of your data open. We looked at open roaming as a way of not using a local DAS, using our existing infrastructure with our wireless Cisco hardware to be able to cut that in about a third of the price and to also kind of speed up the deployment as well. So we have her working at four hospitals right now.
- So the first thing it does really well is a lot of our sites are rural, so we don't have very good cellular connectivity. So we invested in this product because we want our clients, our customers that are coming in to be able to walk in and be able to use a our wireless infrastructure just like it was a cellular device. So they don't even know, they walk in, they think, man, my cellular's better right now. I can do all the things that I wanna do. I can do video. And they don't even know. So that's the biggest bonus for us.
- There's actually only one. It is easy to use, easy to deploy, but in the back end, you guys have a partnership in general with AT&T and T-Mobile. I'm looking for you guys to have Verizon added to that. So I know you guys are working on that, but that's probably the biggest thing I have.

Cisco Spaces Review
So we use it for a variety of ways. We use it for location tracking. We have clinical communication iPads and iPhones that nurses and departments use to communicate with each other. It helps us track those. If they get lost or stolen or anything like that, we can determine where they were or if they were headed outside, which typically means they're stolen. We also use it to track. We have patient iPads that we hand out for streaming, Netflix, Hulu, that type of stuff, and we can track those. If somebody put it in a backpack and left with it or something like that, we give the patient a call and go "Hey, did you maybe wander off with one of our iPads?" Usually it's a, oh God, I'm so sorry. But we also use it, there's an integration with our wireless environment for Stanley Aeroscout. It tracks medical assets beyond the phones using BLE, and it also helps us track temperatures for our vaccines, blood banks, that type of thing. So nurses don't have to manually go open up a fridge, get out the little check box and write down the temperature. It's automated for them.
- It does, especially while integration with other systems. That's my favorite functionality of it, is anything that we've asked it to integrate with, there's always an integration or it can be designed relatively easily.
- It's also very user-friendly. We trained a bunch of non-technical people, our security team to be able to track and see when devices are being stolen versus being in the hospital, and how to try and secure the devices a little bit better ever.
- I would say out-of-the-box plugins. It's very easy to make it for DNA spaces, but I'd love to see more part more companies partner with them so that the plugins are just available to add on right out of the box. You don't have to work with a vendor and say, "Hey, I need you to come in and develop this API", it's already there. That would be the one thing that I would say that could get a little bit more help with.

Cisco DNA Spaces. Not for the faint of heart.
We use Cisco DNA Spaces for wifi analytics. Dwell time, path analysis, people counting, etc. We were an existing CMX user/customer and migrated to Spaces about 3 years ago. We also migrated out wifi portal page to Cisco DNA Spaces. This has also lessoned our administration for our server team.
- Connect & Locate guests
- Present Portal Page to guests
- Gives us a rough idea of how many guests are in the Museum.
- Portal Page changes cannot be made by the customer. You need to work with the Spaces team to modify the page.
- APIs for extracting information is cumbersome.
- General slowness on the platform.

A productive network analytical tool. It has been helpful in checking wifi and internet connection at large and how that is used within the organization. It has helped in data security on the cloud based. Great in customer service by getting them easily on site location and also asset management.
- Data import and export.
- Asset management.
- Customer Services.
- Features are complicated especially on large data cases.
Our organization implemented Cisco Spaces as a way to collaborate with our remote teams. It was a game changer as it allowed our team to work together as if they were in the same physical office. Also, the integration with Webex makes it the most efficient solution for the remote workforce.
- Virtual Metting: with all necessary features like holding video conferences, screen sharing, audio calls, etc.
- File Sharing: User can Upload, share and collaborate on files in real time.
- Integration with other cisco collaboration tools, like Webex.
- Customization options are fairly limited in comparison to other collaboration tools.
- Sometimes we experience slow performance or connection issues.
- Learning curve is steep and required time to fully understand.

Why do you need to implement Cisco DNA Spaces? Pros and Cons
The Marketing Department in the company requested to implement a solution in order to offer free WIFI access to our customers during their visit to our stores. Also, the Marketing Manager. requested to get some visit statistics and email from our customers. As IT Department. we didn't want to replace the actual Aironet access points, so Cisco DNA Spaces was the perfect solution to address this requirement.
- Integration to existing Cisco WLC and Aironet access points
- Easy implementation (cloud oriented solution)
- A good dashboard to get digitization stats
- Very flexible to create custom portals integrated to social networks
- It's a little expensive
- The suport could be better for latin america countries, no spanish support
- It needs to be integrated to Meraki access points

Location analytics, engagement toolkits, enterprise integrations, and other features are available to wireless customers.

Easy to use once you get past setup
Basically, it is used by my whole organization to track location and deal with third-party apps to reflect maps on the application. It also works on deployment and configuration. It also gives an accurate number of customers and makes any call based on the information received. My overall experience is very good and I didn't see that many problems.
- Location analysis is one of the best features.
- During this COVID pandemic, the tracking feature works best.
- Data API set is very large.
- The whole ecosystem is large.
- Need to work on mobile application.
- On basis of security purposes, two-way authentication must be done.
- Map must be enabled for every user, not only for prime.
- Licensing issue.

CMX in The Cloud
We are running the Cisco DNA Spaces as a part of a project to do indoor wayfinding. The area of the project is two floors with 50 access points and a 9800 WLC.
The design has been done to support the location tracking and will be integrated with a 3rd party vendor to do the indoor maps and reflect them on a mobile application.

Bring light to darker digital sights
One of the best applications which can digitize human spaces. We are using it for tracking the human space and assets in our organization. Major drawback of this that it need feeds from another solutions to really work efficiently. As promised by Cisco a lot of activity is going on with licensing.
- Clear insight of digital work.
- Center of DNA.
- Wireless infrastructures get improved.
- Licensing issues.
- Take time to set up DNA center.
- Time consuming initial setup.
