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

"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."

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

"The product is stable."

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

"We can scale the solution."

More Huawei eSight pros

"Monitoring is the most valuable feature of this solution."

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

"Desktop central products feature dashboards that are neat and offer comprehensive information."

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

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

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

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

"OpManager can monitor network utilization, downtime, and services in real time."

More ManageEngine OpManager pros

Cons

"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."

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

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

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

"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."

"It is not a very flexible product."

More Huawei eSight cons

"You cannot resolve 100 percent of the issues yourself. You would need to reach out to the support. It needs to be cheaper."

"Real user and UI monitoring are not practical."

"Some of our customers have been asking that OpManager have a feature to monitor the operating system, however, I tell them that Endpoint Central is doing that. You can buy endpoints and then OpManager, and they integrate between them, and everything is okay."

"We have been facing an issue since last year when a lot of our users started to work from home through their mobiles or computers. We are having trouble reaching these devices. We are now planning to publish our instance to the cloud so that we can reach these devices. Its performance should be improved in terms of the discovery of the devices. I would like to feel confident with the discovery that this solution does. For example, on my dashboard, I would like to be able to view a list of all devices seen on a specific server. At present, it is difficult to find such information. This would be an excellent feature to have."

"For the implementation part, I am facing issues when configuring the business view."

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

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

"We get a lot of false alerts."

More ManageEngine OpManager cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"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."

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

"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."

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

"The licensing costs depend on the number of devices and accounts that are being monitored by the solution."

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

"It is reasonably priced."

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

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