Huawei eSight vs ManageEngine OpManager comparison

"Technical support is good from Huawei."

"We can scale the solution."

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

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

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

"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."

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

"The solution is stable."

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

"ManageEngine OpManager has given us the ability to monitor real-time performance, and positions of our virtual machines and host machines, helping us minimize the amount of time it takes to manage them by allowing us to monitor all machines through a single dashboard instead of going to them one by one."

"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 traffic monitoring and the traffic analysis are great."

"I am satisfied with ManageEngine OpManager's monitoring features."

"The solution offers very good integration capabilities."

"However, once this product is tailored and organized according to their needs, then it is very stable and reliable."

"Something that could be improved is the lack of integration with Cisco switches."

"Something that could be improved is the lack of integration with Cisco switches. In the next release, I would like to see better reporting."

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

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

"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."

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

"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."

"Also, every time I perform a version upgrade, something breaks."

"The solution is a bit difficult to configure. There are quite a number of configurations and plugins that you must handle early in the process."

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

"WMI and SNMP integration with the domain controller should be seamless"

"The installation of ManageEngine OpManager was difficult mainly due to the business view feature, as many customers in Vietnam want the team to develop more detailed capabilities regarding the business view."

"The solution is a bit difficult to configure."

"This solution is not suitable for enterprise-sized deployments, as it sometimes hangs and needs to be restarted."

"The solution’s pricing is reasonable."

"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."

"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."

"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."

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

"The product is not worth the money."

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

"ManageEngine OpManager is cheaper than SolarWinds."

"The tool's licensing costs are yearly."

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

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

"In terms of pricing, I would rate it a two out of five. It was expensive."
