Huawei eSight vs ManageEngine OpManager comparison

"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."

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

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

"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."

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

"We can scale the solution."

"The application monitoring is the solution's most valuable feature."

"The solution's most valuable feature is its ability to reach most of our network devices and get the most from them."

"The product provides intensive reports."

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

"The uptime and monitoring are valuable to us because we need to monitor the uptime of our services, the memory, and the CPUs."

"We use the solution to monitor links. It also helps us to track servers and monitor logs."

"The tool is useful for SNMP monitoring."

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

"It is not a very flexible product."

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

"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."

"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 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."

"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."

"We get a lot of false alerts."

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

"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."

"There needs to be improvements to make the solution capable of supporting more devices, and it would be good to see an option for automatic deployment."

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

"The dashboard could include more features."

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

"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."

"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 pricing is moderate."

"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."

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

"The tool's licensing costs are yearly."

"The price for ManageEngine OpManager is average."

"ManageEngine OpManager is cheaper than SolarWinds."

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

"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."
