Huawei eSight vs ManageEngine OpManager comparison

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

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

"The product is stable."

"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 most important features are alarm management and the visualization of the health of our network devices."

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

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

"We can scale the solution."

"This is a good general monitoring system that has all the features we require and they constantly update with new capabilities."

"The traffic monitoring and the traffic analysis are great."

"It helps us a lot for monitoring our servers in one console, instead of going to individual servers."

"The solution offers very good integration capabilities."

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

"We use the solution to monitor links. It also helps us to track servers and monitor logs."

"The integration with the firewall monitoring, the security monitoring, is great."

"The solution gives pretty good network visibility. I am also impressed with it's monitoring."

"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."

"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."

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

"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."

"You cannot resolve 100 percent of the issues yourself. You would need to reach out to the support. It needs to be cheaper."

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

"There should be an option to get mobile notifications or SMS mirror notifications for critical issues. That way, when we don't have access to email, we can still receive notifications via our phones."

"The two views into the system are very good but could be extended to further customization to fit the need of end users in a variety of roles."

"They should add more features to URL monitoring."

"The integration with various OEM products could be simplified."

"The storage level monitoring needs improvement. It needs storage level monitoring on the server itself. That feature is lacking right now."

"I would like to see more enhancements made to the product."

"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."

"The solution’s pricing is reasonable."

"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 licensing costs are yearly and based on the number of applications."

"It is reasonably priced."

"Pricing for ManageEngine OpManager depends on the number of nodes you onboard and whatever pricing is reflected on the ManageEngine portal which offers discounts from ten percent to fifteen percent. It purely depends on the sales volume and the negotiation. In my organization, there are about one thousand two hundred nodes which cost around $29,000 per year. There's no additional support fee or maintenance fee from ManageEngine OpManager. Pricing for the solution is highly competitive and I would rate it five out of five. ManageEngine OpManager is one of the most competitive options out there."

"We had perpetual licenses. The cost was around 36,000 for OPManager, and then you'd have the yearly maintenance fee of 2,000 or 3,000."

"It is not really expensive; it is nominal licensing."

"We have a standard license for ManageEngine OpManager. We purchased the license for one year and now we are upgrading it soon."

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

"The solution is highly affordable"
