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.

NetFlow monitoring has improved operations but needs better configurations

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. When I add the interface, I am confused about which interface is connected to which endpoint. If identifying the interface was easier, it would take less time to configure. Another issue is with threshold values; sometimes, it shows kilobytes (kB) while our threshold is set to gigabytes. This can be confusing. Improving this aspect would be beneficial. In URL monitoring, there is room for enhancement.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"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."

"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."

"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."

"The product is stable."

"We can scale the solution."

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

More Huawei eSight pros

"The solution offers very good integration capabilities."

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

"The solution is scalable."

"The solution's most valuable features are reporting, event notifications, and alert management."

"The product provides intensive reports."

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

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

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

More ManageEngine OpManager pros

Cons

"It is not a very flexible product."

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

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

"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."

"Huawei eSight should work on the option to have the email notification working on Office 365 Exchange."

"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."

More Huawei eSight cons

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

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

"They should add more features to URL monitoring."

"The pricing of the solution is high. They should work to adjust the pricing model to see if they can help reduce costs."

"The dashboard has some limitations and should be more user-friendly."

"The solution is a bit difficult to configure. There are quite a number of configurations and plugins that you must handle early in the process."

"The licensing model is confusing."

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

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

"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."

"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."

"The product is not worth the money."

"In terms of pricing, I would rate it a two out of five. It was expensive."

"The solution is highly affordable"

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

"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."

"The solution's pricing is very low compared to other products."
