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.

Reporting features improve operational efficiency while weekend support needs enhancement

Support is moderate and needs improvement, especially during weekends when technicians perform upgrades. During weekends, they need to provide more support to ensure a smooth transition. There is a call for ManageEngine OpManager to scale better in automation and AI functionality. Although the product stability is good, support enhancement is necessary to enable better planning for upgrades and maintenance activities.

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."

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

"We use this solution to monitor our sales."

"Technical support is good from Huawei."

"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."

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

"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."

More Huawei eSight pros

"The tool is useful for SNMP monitoring."

"The features we found most valuable in ManageEngine OpManager are the probe server and reporting because they're pretty good features."

"Overall, I give the product a rating of ten."

"The product provides intensive reports."

"The initial setup of OpManager is very easy and straightforward."

"The solution is finely stable."

"I liked Network Configuration Manager. They had some pretty decent features there, and they also had pretty good monitoring and alerts."

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

More ManageEngine OpManager pros

Cons

"The price is very expensive."

"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."

"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."

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

"Something that could be improved is the lack of integration with Cisco switches."

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

"It is not a very flexible product."

More Huawei eSight cons

"The only problem with it is that the setup isn't very intuitive. I know that they just upgraded the product to make it a little bit easier to use, but compared to some of the other platforms, it is not easy to configure it, set it up, and get it running. However, once you have set it up and got it running, it runs great."

"Stability regarding upgrades, sometimes impacting database issues."

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

"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."

"What I'd like ManageEngine OpManager to improve on is artificial intelligence, in particular, the machine learning feature should be integrated with the sensor flow."

"There needs to be improvements to make the solution capable of supporting more devices, and it would be good to see an option for automatic deployment."

"We have been facing an issue since last year when a lot of our users started to work from home through their mobiles or computers. We are having trouble reaching these devices. We are now planning to publish our instance to the cloud so that we can reach these devices. Its performance should be improved in terms of the discovery of the devices. I would like to feel confident with the discovery that this solution does. For example, on my dashboard, I would like to be able to view a list of all devices seen on a specific server. At present, it is difficult to find such information. This would be an excellent feature to have."

"We encounter challenges in monitoring cloud services. I would also appreciate it if there was someone available to walk you through the documentation."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"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."

"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 price is very expensive."

"The solution’s pricing is reasonable."

"The pricing is moderate."

"The price for ManageEngine OpManager is average."

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

"It is reasonably priced."

"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."

"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 solution is highly affordable"

"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."
