Huawei eSight vs ManageEngine OpManager comparison

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

"We use this solution to monitor our sales."

"Since we have a central monitoring system, we can proactively monitor those devices, easily capture any abnormalities before major downtime, and quickly address the issues before they become a bigger problem in the future."

"The product is stable."

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

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

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

"Huawei eSight provides businesses with monitoring capabilities of network devices across your network."

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

"The product itself is very good."

"Once it was set up and running, there were no issues with it, and it seems to run fairly well."

"The solution is finely stable."

"The most valuable feature is the network-related reporting."

"The most valuable feature of ManageEngine OpManager is the management of the virtual machine and the host machine."

"The application monitoring is the solution's most valuable feature."

"It has more functionality than what we use it for, so I think it's overall a good solution."

"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."

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

"It is not a very flexible product. We cannot change much from our side."

"In my experience with eSight, I can tell you that you will experience a number of alerts that can be stressful to the administrator monitoring plenty of 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."

"When I implemented this Huawei solution, I faced some limitations in particular areas like wireless scanning."

"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."

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

"The initial setup is a bit complicated. It needs a technician who is very aware of the flow and how to officially set up the flow chart, etc."

"The storage level monitoring needs improvement. It needs storage level monitoring on the server itself."

"The solution is a bit difficult to configure."

"With regard to configurations, however, it would be nice to have more documentation on SNMP configurations. For example, if I want to add a new vendor, it would be great if ManageEngine provided the requirements for that vendor, such as the commands needed."

"The licensing for this solution is not straightforward and should be improved."

"The licensing model is confusing."

"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."

"The solution’s pricing is reasonable."

"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."

"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."

"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 licensing is on a yearly basis and the pricing is on the cheaper side."

"The licensing costs depend on the number of devices and accounts that are being monitored by the solution."

"The product is not worth the money."

"The tool's licensing costs are yearly."

"As far as cost, it was around six hundred thousand rands ($40,500) for the year, for the renewals. That's the total cost for a four thousand node system including support and maintenance."

"The price of ManageEngine OpManager is reasonable. We have an annual license and the cost comes from how many devices are being monitored. There is not anything extra cost for maintenance and support."

"ManageEngine OpManager is cheaper than SolarWinds."

"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."
