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

"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."

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

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

"We can scale the solution."

"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."

"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."

"We have found the product to be stable and reliable."

More Huawei eSight pros

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

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

"The solution gives pretty good network visibility. I am also impressed with it's monitoring."

"The product provides intensive reports."

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

"The tool is useful for SNMP monitoring."

"This is a good general monitoring system that has all the features we require and they constantly update with new capabilities."

"Device backups are smooth and managed centrally, with a nice dashboard, so you can quickly see the status."

More ManageEngine OpManager pros

Cons

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

"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."

"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."

"The price could be less costly."

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

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

"It is not a very flexible product."

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

More Huawei eSight cons

"ManageEngine OpManager could improve by having a better cloud presence."

"We had some stability issues at the outset that have since been resolved."

"The only problem with it is that the setup isn't very intuitive. I know that they just upgraded the product to make it a little bit easier to use, but compared to some of the other platforms, it is not easy to configure it, set it up, and get it running. However, once you have set it up and got it running, it runs great."

"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."

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

"There are certain things that are not possible to do with Op Manager. It's a solution that still needs time to develop."

"The storage level monitoring needs improvement. It needs storage level monitoring on the server itself."

"The solution's reports need to include the number of applications consumed."

More ManageEngine OpManager cons

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."

"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."

"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."

"The price is very expensive."

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

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

"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 tool's licensing costs are yearly."

"The product is not worth the money."

"The price for ManageEngine OpManager is average."

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

"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."
