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.

Technology Manager at FIS

Stable, easy to set up, flexible, and has multiple functionalities, but needs to define priority levels for each incident

What's lacking in Loom Systems is the level of priority for each incident. For example, after implementation and there was a huge impact on the client, and the client comes back to you and says that there's an incident, that there needs to be an immediate resolution for it, you'll see severity one, severity two, etc., in Loom Systems, rather than priority levels. It would be better if the incidents can be defined as low priority, medium priority, or high priority.

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 most valuable dashboard features include monitoring storage, resource availability, and hardware alarms."

"We use Huawei eSight to monitor devices like Wi-Fi controllers, LAN switches, and routers."

"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."

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

"We can scale the solution."

"The product is stable."

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

More Huawei eSight pros

"The solution is absolutely scalable. If an organization needs to expand it out they definitely can."

"You can develop your own apps within Loom, and they can be configured very simply."

"What I like best about Loom Systems is that you can use it for infrastructure monitoring. I also like that it's a flexible solution."

"The RFS portion of the solution is the product's most valuable feature."

Cons

"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."

"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."

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

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

"The variety of license types should be made simpler as, at present, it is complex."

"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 is not a very flexible product."

More Huawei eSight cons

"The discovery and mapping still takes a lot of human intervention, it's quite resource heavy,"

"What's lacking in Loom Systems is the level of priority for each incident. For example, after implementation and there was a huge impact on the client, and the client comes back to you and says that there's an incident, that there needs to be an immediate resolution for it, you'll see severity one, severity two, etc., in Loom Systems, rather than priority levels. It would be better if the incidents can be defined as low priority, medium priority, or high priority."

"The reporting is a bit weak. They should work to improve this aspect of the product."

"The change management within the solution needs to be improved. There needs to be more process automation."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"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."

"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."
