Manager ITSM at Lucky Cement Limited

Achieve seamless network and link monitoring with comprehensive device management

The most valuable function is that the IMC takes an entire backup of my network devices, and I can also redeploy them. The really beneficial feature is the link monitoring. I had checked Check Point's product, however, my requirements are better fulfilled by IMC. The main feature is that IMC automatically configures the device for my use. I have over 200 features in my network, and IMC manages the complete environment. Automation is good, but I mainly use it for monitoring. I am too satisfied with this product.

Used to monitor devices and provides the hardware alarms feature

Huawei eSight has helped me overcome many monitoring aspects of the hardware. From a single view, I can monitor all the hardware. Instead of logging on to each piece of hardware and monitoring it individually, I can monitor them from one single point. I would recommend the solution to other users because it provides a single point of view of the hardware. Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The most useful feature is infrastructure monitoring including switches and servers."

"The most valuable feature is the interface and its ease of use."

"It's a very complete product with a lot of functionality."

"One of the notable advantages is its ability to provide quick responses, especially in critical situations."

"The most valuable function is that the IMC takes an entire backup of my network devices, and I can also redeploy them."

"eSight allows me to monitor and solve any problem in the backbone and any switch in real-time."

"The most important features are alarm management and the visualization of the health of our network devices."

"One of the most beneficial features of Huawei eSight is its simplicity and ease of use."

"I like the real-time location monitor or RTLS feature. It is similar to the monitoring feature in Cisco Prime."

"I like that it supports all our Huawei devices. Unlike other network monitoring tools that monitor Huawei devices, it provides more details when it comes to monitoring or management. We can get complete details about the devices, and management is also simple."

"We can scale the solution."

"The solution's most valuable dashboard features include monitoring storage, resource availability, and hardware alarms."

"The product is stable."

Cons

"One notable deficiency is the lack of online support for the product."

"The integration with other network devices needs improvement."

"I face the issue with the integration with links on Fortinet Firewall."

"HPE Intelligent Management Center is a bit slow."

"I would like to see additional modules included."

"The solution and the operating system come separately. It would be easier if we did not have to deploy anything. A bundle feature would be better."

"The solution needs to improve it's user interface to make it more modern and stylish. They need to design proper menu positions, features, etc. Right now the layout is complicated."

"Something that could be improved is the lack of integration with Cisco switches. In the next release, I would like to see better reporting."

"It will be better if they can make the simple network topology part more presentable. It would also be better if they had API integration and integration with third-party devices."

"This solution could be improved by offering monitoring for all devices and not only Huawei devices."

"It is not a very flexible product."

"Huawei eSight should work on the option to have the email notification working on Office 365 Exchange."

"eSight has many features and options, but sometimes, we feel that it should be more advanced, like Cisco. It would be good if they can enable some automation part in eSight. Most of our customers want automation in their network. They don't want a dependency on everything. That's why the automation part must be improved in Huawei. It will be beneficial for customers. Cisco has different products, and there are multiple products for monitoring, automation, etc. In the software-defined network, Cisco has ACI, and VMware has NSX. Such options must be there in Huawei to move to a software-defined network. Unlike Cisco, in the case of eSight, there is only one product. I am not aware of any other product. It would be good to enhance it with at least some automation options so that we can use it effectively in the campus network or big data center environment. When I implemented this Huawei solution, I faced some limitations in particular areas like wireless scanning. This is another part that they can improve. Wireless reporting option is not as effective as other monitoring solutions. For a particular use case, if a customer is asking for some reports, sometimes they are not 100% satisfactory. The reporting structure must be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of this solution is not at all cheap, but it's reasonable compared to SolarWinds."

"There are licensing costs and they are quite expensive."

"The pricing for Huawei eSight is reasonable, especially with the base license and incremental licenses for additional devices. However, the variety of license types can be a bit complex. We used to sell eSight but switched to another solution, so we're not actively trading it anymore."

"Its pricing is better than any other Huawei product. Some products are cheaper in Huawei, and some products are cheaper in Cisco. Cisco has more benefits and options than Huawei if you consider different network environments."

"Pricing depends on the competition. If your competitor is like Cisco, then Huawei is much more competitive when it comes to pricing."

"I would rate this solution a nine out of ten for pricing. The pricing depends on which features you use and can become expensive."

"The solution’s pricing is reasonable."

"The price is very expensive."
