Huawei eSight vs ManageEngine OpManager comparison

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

"We can scale the solution."

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

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

"Technical support is good from Huawei."

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

"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."

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

"The most valuable feature of ManageEngine OpManager is the management of the virtual machine and the host machine."

"The solution is easy to deploy. It's also easy to manage and monitor the environment. Instead of being reactive, it's proactive."

"We have been in contact with technical support and are satisfied with the speed of their answers."

"The traffic monitoring and the traffic analysis are great."

"Managing platforms and network device virtualization on one platform is beneficial."

"Our customers are seeing a clear return on investment with ManageEngine OpManager, which is why they continue using it and maintain the solution for a long time."

"We run weekly and monthly reports to provide exceptions, and it's helped our organization remediate problems proactively."

"Easy and agentless to deploy, service and support is excellent."

"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."

"It is not a very flexible product. We cannot change much from our side."

"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."

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

"Technical support for the solution is not so good."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"We get a lot of false alerts."

"The support for this solution needs to be improved significantly, to the point where we will no longer be using some of the available products because we cannot get the required support for them."

"ManageEngine OpManager could improve by adding network device control capabilities."

"They should add more features to URL monitoring."

"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."

"The support of ManageEngine OpManager could improve. We had two issues and the support was not able to solve our issue."

"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."

"I would rate this solution a nine out of ten for pricing. The pricing depends on which features you use and can become expensive."

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

"The price is very expensive."

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

"It is not really expensive; it is nominal licensing."

"The pricing is moderate."

"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."

"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."

"The solution is highly affordable"
