Huawei eSight vs ManageEngine OpManager comparison

"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."

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

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

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

"We can scale the solution."

"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."

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

"The solution offers very good integration capabilities."

"It is easy to use and deploy."

"The most valuable feature is the monitoring alerts. The administrators are immediately notified and can do the required action immediately. This is the feature we value and use the most."

"I am satisfied with ManageEngine OpManager's monitoring features."

"The alerting feature has improved our organization. We can create multiple alerts and refine them to how we need to use them."

"Device monitoring is a good tool of this solution."

"The uptime and monitoring are valuable to us because we need to monitor the uptime of our services, the memory, and the CPUs."

"Some of the useful features are NetFlow and analytics."

"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."

"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 price could be less costly."

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

"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."

"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."

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

"ManageEngine OpManager could improve the default dashboards that are available. We are not able to customize them easily and they do not give us the information we need unless we customize them. You need to have the technical knowledge to be able to do it, the customization should be easier."

"ManageEngine OpManager can improve by having better updates for critical issues."

"We had some stability issues at the outset that have since been resolved."

"The pricing could be cheaper. The initial integration does cost a bit."

"There are certain things that are not possible to do with Op Manager. It's a solution that still needs time to develop."

"We would like the solution's customize and build functionality to be more user-friendly."

"We would like link monitoring included. At times we need to monitor those specific links closely."

"It would be great if there were some sort of artificial intelligence feature which would help us make improvements in the network once we find an issue, and do it automatically."

"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."

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

"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."

"The solution’s pricing is reasonable."

"ManageEngine OpManager has a three-tier licensing model."

"I rate the tool's pricing an eight out of ten."

"The pricing is moderate."

"The tool's licensing costs are yearly."

"ManageEngine OpManager is cheaper than SolarWinds."

"The solution's licensing costs are yearly and based on the number of applications."

"The solution is highly affordable"

"The price for ManageEngine OpManager is average."
