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

"eSight allows me to monitor and solve any problem in the backbone and any switch in real-time."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"One of the most beneficial features of Huawei eSight is its simplicity and ease of use."
"We use this solution to monitor our sales."
"The solution is finely stable."
"Some of the most valuable features are the accessibility of the solution and the fact that it is simpler than other products, and discovering devices in the network is very simple, making it user-friendly."
"We don't have to keep an eye on it; it has a good automation option, which keeps us informed. It gives very less false positives. Overall, a really great product."
"The setup was easy."
"Some of the useful features are NetFlow and analytics."
"The most valuable feature is the monitoring alerts, as the administrators are immediately notified and can do the required action immediately, and this is the feature we value and use the most."
"However, once this product is tailored and organized according to their needs, then it is very stable and reliable."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its ability to reach most of our network devices and get the most from them."
 

Cons

"The variety of license types should be made simpler as, at present, it is complex."
"The price could be less costly."
"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 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."
"Something that could be improved is the lack of integration with Cisco switches."
"It is not a very flexible product."
"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."
"This product is little bit slow sometimes."
"There are some concerns with the recording performance of ManageEngine OpManager. It does not offer accurate monitoring when compared to SolarWinds."
"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."
"It is sometimes difficult to manage the user interface. It can get very complicated."
"This solution is not suitable for enterprise-sized deployments, as it sometimes hangs and needs to be restarted."
"The licensing model is confusing."
"Stability regarding upgrades, sometimes impacting database issues."
"Support is moderate and needs improvement, especially during weekends when technicians perform upgrades."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is very expensive."
