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.

Our process efficiency has improved by having all the information in one place, which has reduced manpower
The product is great. We integrated the ticketing tool with the monitoring tool. The agent ID creation is very easy when using this tool. It is so user-friendly. The user interface is good and also the pricing is great. The user interface is good, even a business user or layman can raise a ticket. They provide an all-in-one monitoring tool. If an issue happens, it gets integrated with the email, then proactively that ticket is being raised, which is good. The reporting is good. It is very clear. It is a customized report; however you want it, you can customize it. We use the solution’s role-based dashboards. The head of IT wants to use it so he can see holistically what is happening, e.g., what are the tickets being raised, what is a major issue, and what escalations are happening. There are different dashboards that are customized. For our head of IT, we made a separate dashboard. Then, for the executives, we made a separate dashboard based on time, like hourly or daily. All these reports were customized. While they didn't provide a BI dashboard, they provide a kind of graphical dashboard for whatever the issue is. Once you click on a particular ticket, it drills down to the issue, what it is and when the issue was raised. The drill down is good. It is more like a business intelligence (BI) tool. You can just scroll and zoom in. It goes deep into the issue. Once you click a particular dashboard, it will take you to the next page, then it takes you to the issue. Infraon IMS provides workflow automation for real-world use cases. This makes our work easier. It is just drag and drop (no coding) to build the workflows. For example, a particular ticket is being raised. It gets routed to three important IT executives within our team. From our team, it gets routed to the next level. The learning curve is good. Initially, there were no issues. As soon as the users saw the product, they understood what the product was. There wasn't any kind of training required for this product because it is very straightforward.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Huawei eSight provides businesses with monitoring capabilities of network devices across your network."
"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."
"eSight allows me to monitor and solve any problem in the backbone and any switch in real-time."
"I like the real-time location monitor or RTLS feature. It is similar to the monitoring feature in Cisco Prime."
"The most important features are alarm management and the visualization of the health of our network devices."
"The product is stable."
"We have found the product to be stable and reliable."
"eSight allows me to monitor and solve any problem in the backbone and any switch in real-time."
"Once we installed this central system, our site engineers who provide the data started believing in the data's accuracy."
"The backup, restore, and comparison features are all good."
"Being an engineering product, the customization is easy for us compared to SolarWinds and ManageEngine."
"Overall, it's a wonderful one-stop ITSM solution for infrastructure."
"It is a stable product. After the initial configuration, you don't have to tweak it much. All systems of Everest IMS work perfectly."
"We use the solution to automatically trigger processes to help us resolve issues. The whole IT process has been automated, such as trying to map all the users and the escalation process. So, if any issue happens, we get an SMS and WhatsApp of the report. If there is a critical issue this has to be sorted out, like the entire data center being down, then there is an alarm."
"If you are looking for the best product with the best price, Infraon is the best product."
"The feature that I like the most and the best part is the customization."
 

Cons

"Huawei eSight should work on the option to have the email notification working on Office 365 Exchange."
"The variety of license types should be made simpler as, at present, it is complex."
"This solution could be improved by offering monitoring for all devices and not only Huawei devices."
"It is not a very flexible product. We cannot change much from our side."
"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."
"It is not a very flexible product."
"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 price could be less costly."
"I would like to see an integrated view of Infraon IMS and Infraon Desk. It would be very helpful if that were integrated into the solution."
"The GUI is in need of improvement. It is not drag-and-drop or easy to use."
"I would like to have the option to add a new device or meet with the next release. Right now, it needs to be done from the backend which results in a heavy reliance on R&D."
"There might be some features in other products that are currently not there in Everest IMS and can be included. I have not yet compared it with any other product."
"The GUI is in need of improvement. It is not drag-and-drop or easy to use."
"The graphical view of the topology does not show us all of the connectivity in our network, which is something that could be improved."
"We have enquired if there are any possibilities of monitoring non-IPBS devices."
"In terms of improvements, I would like to see an integrated view of Infraon IMS and Infraon Desk."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution’s pricing is reasonable."
"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 price is very expensive."
"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."
"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 cost model is within our budget. I have less than 180 critical assets, but the moment that I have 1,000 assets, then the license model is totally different. I don't know whether they are capable of handling that kind of a load. They could revisit the licensing model."
"The pricing is reasonable, given the features that they provide."
"If you are looking for the best product with the best price, Infraon is the best product. We evaluated five to six products and finally felt Infraon was better because of the pricing model, especially because it was more flexible."
"We pay for a number of devices on the accounts and since it is on-premises, we pay the maintenance charges for the year."
"Licensing is calculated on a per-user basis."
"I think that the pricing for this solution is reasonable and varies by number of devices."
