Huawei eSight vs ManageEngine OpManager comparison

"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."

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

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

"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."

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

"The setup was easy."

"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 product provides intensive reports."

"The detections are fine when they work."

"Desktop central products feature dashboards that are neat and offer comprehensive information."

"The most valuable feature of ManageEngine OpManager makes it easy to monitor all the network alerts on the application."

"Some of the most valuable features are the accessibility of the solution and the fact that it is simpler than other products. For example, discovering devices in the network is very simple, making it user-friendly."

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

"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."

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

"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 price could be less costly."

"It is not a very flexible product."

"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."

"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."

"It is sometimes difficult to manage the user interface. It can get very complicated."

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

"Support is moderate and needs improvement, especially during weekends when technicians perform upgrades."

"They should add more features to URL monitoring."

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

"The licensing model is confusing."

"The data provided by the tool is not accurate."

"The main drawback is there is less documentation available, both public documentation and partner-available documentation."

"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 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."

"The solution’s pricing is reasonable."

"The price is very expensive."

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

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

"The product is not worth the money."

"The initial cost is low and the add-ons are reasonable."

"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."

"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."

"The price for ManageEngine OpManager is average."
