Provides firmware compliance and the ability to connect to iPO
I've been involved in various upgrades. It's pretty easy to set up with vCenter. We just push out an appliance template in vCenter. We run ours on virtual servers. Deployment can be done by just one person. The number of people needed for maintenance will depend on your server inventory. If you have more than 100 servers, you will need three to five people. If you have 500 to 1,000 servers, you will need a team of 10 to 20 people.
Gary Strydom - PeerSpot reviewer
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 solution's technical support was great...The initial setup of HPE OneView was easy."
"We have the dashboard up on a big screen, and you can actually see when things go wrong or if there are any faults with any of the servers. The backup is automated as well, so the appliance is quite good.​"
"Firmware compliance is one of the most valuable features."
"Broad range of tools to create executive and operations dashboards."
"​It is very stable. We have had no downtime nor issues in approximately a year. ​"
"The template management makes the deployment of the firmware updates much faster."
"Provides the strongest support for automation."
"OneView provides a single console, which is manageable without physical access."
"One of the most beneficial features of Huawei eSight is its simplicity and ease of use."
"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 use Huawei eSight to monitor devices like Wi-Fi controllers, LAN switches, and routers."
"Huawei eSight provides businesses with monitoring capabilities of network devices across your network."
"We can scale the solution."
"The solution's most valuable dashboard features include monitoring storage, resource availability, and hardware alarms."
"I like the real-time location monitor or RTLS feature. It is similar to the monitoring feature in Cisco Prime."
"The product is stable."
 

Cons

"Integration could be improved. Sometimes OneView doesn't identify physical hardware."
"We've had a few issues. We just upgraded to the 3.9.0 version. We think that now that we are on that version, hopefully a lot of those things are going to go away for us."
"The logs are not proper."
"Sometimes the interface can be a little confusing, sometimes the error messages can be very cryptic, as far as what's actually going on."
"​Technical support is not very good. The engineers do not know a lot about the product​, even when asked simplistic questions."
"We ran into a couple of issues here and there with the baselines for the firmware and not having enough space on the appliance itself to be able to have more than two baselines."
"The network configuration part of HPE OneView needs improvement. The solution has way too many features, and there's a need for proper configuration indicators to be put in place."
"​I have to chop it up into smaller parts, because I have an installation in Europe and it covers the whole world. That is not so good. They need to be more localized, so I am going to chop it up into smaller bits.​"
"It is not a very flexible product."
"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 variety of license types should be made simpler as, at present, it is complex."
"Something that could be improved is the lack of integration with Cisco switches. In the next release, I would like to see better reporting."
"Huawei eSight should work on the option to have the email notification working on Office 365 Exchange."
"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."
"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."
"This solution could be improved by offering monitoring for all devices and not only Huawei devices."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is free to use, but if you want the management aspect you require a virtual machine such as C7000 or Synergy which require licenses."
"​I am happy with the price."
"I think that the price of OneView is $500 USD per server, which is a little high."
"HPE had some other solutions, but they were actually quite expensive to buy. So, when OneView came along, it was kind of reasonable in terms of price for licenses, etc."
"I feel the product's price falls a bit on the higher side."
"I would rate the cost as six out of ten."
"​Use it. It is free."
"When it comes to the government, money is never an issue, so it was excellent in terms of the HPE OneView licensing cost. Hitachi was cheaper, but I'd rate HPE OneView cost-wise as eight out of ten."
"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."
"The price is very expensive."
"The solution’s pricing is reasonable."
"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 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."
"Pricing depends on the competition. If your competitor is like Cisco, then Huawei is much more competitive when it comes to pricing."
