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.
Nafiu Garba - PeerSpot reviewer
It offers different licensing types that allow you to extend the services to clients; it lets you look into device performance and optimization and helps apply best practices
What I like best about IDERA Uptime Infrastructure Monitor is that it offers different licensing types. Hence, it allows my organization to extend the services to clients and not just use the solution within the organization. My organization can leverage IDERA Uptime Infrastructure Monitor to learn more about how clients perform because the solution lets you monitor and optimize devices and apply best practices.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"One of the most beneficial features of Huawei eSight is its simplicity and ease of use."
"The most important features are alarm management and the visualization of the health of our network devices."
"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."
"Huawei eSight provides businesses with monitoring capabilities of network devices across your network."
"eSight allows me to monitor and solve any problem in the backbone and any switch in real-time."
"We use Huawei eSight to monitor devices like Wi-Fi controllers, LAN switches, and routers."
"The product is stable."
"My organization can leverage IDERA Uptime Infrastructure Monitor to learn more about how clients perform because the solution lets you monitor and optimize devices and apply best practices."
 

Cons

"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."
"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 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."
"It is not a very flexible product."
"This solution could be improved by offering monitoring for all devices and not only Huawei devices."
"The price could be less costly."
"Huawei eSight should work on the option to have the email notification working on Office 365 Exchange."
"What I want to improve in IDERA Uptime Infrastructure Monitor is the community aspect, where IDERA would provide customers with updates on functionalities, what comes next, what IDERA Uptime Infrastructure Monitor upgrades would be released, etc. I also want the sustainability of IDERA Uptime Infrastructure Monitor to improve."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"The solution’s pricing is reasonable."
"Pricing depends on the competition. If your competitor is like Cisco, then Huawei is much more competitive when it comes to pricing."
"The price is very expensive."
"I'm based in Nigeria, and the conversion rate affects the pricing for IDERA Uptime Infrastructure Monitor, but globally, pricing is reasonable. I'm rating pricing for the solution seven on a scale of one to ten."
