Cisco Prime Infrastructure equivalent

Question

We have been using Cisco's WCS/NCS/Prime Infrastructure for 15+ years to map our wireless networks and do to basic location and testing of wireless devices and rogues. There are similar features to NCM we do not use (we use NCM for that. :)  ).  we ONLY use it for maps.

Since Cisco has now announced that PI is EOL, and suggest we move to DNA Center, I am wondering what others are using for Wireless maps - not just a "ap is located here" map, but for heat maps, analysis, troubleshooting and location services.

I am also wondering if it is still possible to create Heat Maps using NTM and NCM?

Thanks bshopp

I hope SW will stop with those "one of" features that work with specific vendor WLC and not the rest ..

There are no planned enhancements on the roadmap for our existing wireless mapping support, so what is there now is what we support today.

Hi dclick

I quite sure that the orion platform (NPM/NCM) does no support what you looking for.

I think the right way is asking the PM for some roadmap info ..

If I was in a  "clean" Cisco shop or any other vendor that has it owen EMS system...I will take those features with the vendors
