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

"We use this solution to monitor our sales."
"eSight allows me to monitor and solve any problem in the backbone and any switch in real-time."
"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 most important features are alarm management and the visualization of the health of our network devices."
"Technical support is good from Huawei."
"We have found the product to be stable and reliable."
"The product is stable."
"Huawei eSight provides businesses with monitoring capabilities of network devices across your network."
"This is a good general monitoring system that has all the features we require and they constantly update with new capabilities."
"OpManager technical support is good."
"We have found the solution to be stable."
"The ease of use and comprehensive integration are the most valuable features"
"ManageEngine OpManager positively impacts organizations by allowing users to practically manage their network, so they can understand exactly what's happening and where the problems are coming from, ensuring proactive monitoring."
"The alerting feature has improved our organization. We can create multiple alerts and refine them to how we need to use them."
"The detections are fine when they work."
"The dashboard, versatility and larger horizon are valuable."
 

Cons

"Something that could be improved is the lack of integration with Cisco switches."
"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."
"Something that could be improved is the lack of integration with Cisco switches. In the next release, I would like to see better reporting."
"The variety of license types should be made simpler as, at present, it is complex."
"Technical support for the solution is not so good."
"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."
"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 dashboard has some limitations and should be more user-friendly."
"OpManager is slow but that just might be the server we have it on."
"This product is little bit slow sometimes."
"The licensing for this solution is not straightforward and should be improved."
"It is sometimes difficult to manage the user interface. It can get very complicated."
"The storage level monitoring needs improvement. It needs storage level monitoring on the server itself."
"For the implementation part, I am facing issues when configuring the business view; when I create the business view, I experience problems with the port interface and get confused about which interface is connected to which endpoint."
"The main drawback is there is less documentation available, both public documentation and partner-available documentation."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 price is very expensive."
"The solution’s pricing is reasonable."
"I would rate this solution a nine out of ten for pricing. The pricing depends on which features you use and can become expensive."
"It is not really expensive; it is nominal licensing."
"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."
"The initial cost is low and the add-ons are reasonable."
"The licensing costs depend on the number of devices and accounts that are being monitored by the solution."
"In terms of pricing, I would rate it a two out of five. It was expensive."
"ManageEngine OpManager is cheaper than SolarWinds."
"The licensing is on a yearly basis and the pricing is on the cheaper side."
"The product is not worth the money."
