Huawei eSight vs ManageEngine OpManager comparison

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

"We can scale the solution."

"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."

"We use Huawei eSight to monitor devices like Wi-Fi controllers, LAN switches, and routers."

"The product is stable."

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

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

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

"OpManager can monitor network utilization, downtime, and services in real time."

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

"The detections are fine when they work."

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

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

"The alerting feature has improved our organization. We can create multiple alerts and refine them to how we need to use them."

"ManageEngine OpManager is user-friendly and easy to use. Additionally, useful for basic monitoring."

"I like being able to push configurations to multiple devices. If you have the same configurations for all the branches, it's easier to use ManageEngine OpManager and push configurations at once rather than individually pushing them to each device."

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

"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."

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

"It is not a very flexible product."

"The price could be less costly."

"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."

"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 would be great if there were some sort of artificial intelligence feature which would help us make improvements in the network once we find an issue, and do it automatically."

"The two views into the system are very good but could be extended to further customization to fit the need of end users in a variety of roles."

"Needs an OVA, or more support for virtual deployments. Building a virtual instance of OpManager and OpManager Probe was a bit difficult because there was no OVA available."

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

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

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

"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."

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

"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."

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

"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."

"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 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 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 solution is highly affordable"

"We have a standard license for ManageEngine OpManager. We purchased the license for one year and now we are upgrading it soon."

"ManageEngine OpManager has a three-tier licensing model."

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

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