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

"We can scale the solution."

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

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

"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."

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

"One of the most beneficial features of Huawei eSight is its simplicity and ease of use."

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

"Technical support is good from Huawei."

More Huawei eSight pros

"I like being able to push configurations to multiple devices. If you have the same configurations for all the branches, it's easier to use ManageEngine OpManager and push configurations at once rather than individually pushing them to each device."

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

"ManageEngine OpManager allows us to manage all our organization's firewalls, switches, and critical servers from a single console, requiring only one person to oversee all operations."

"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 solution is finely stable."

"We have been in contact with technical support and are satisfied with the speed of their answers."

"I liked Network Configuration Manager. They had some pretty decent features there, and they also had pretty good monitoring and alerts."

"Flexibility in the two view dashboard helps viewers and admins get the information they need about the fetwork in a flash."

More ManageEngine OpManager pros

Cons

"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."

"It is not a very flexible product."

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

"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."

"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."

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

More Huawei eSight cons

"Needs an OVA, or more support for virtual deployments. Building a virtual instance of OpManager and OpManager Probe was a bit difficult because there was no OVA available."

"The main drawback is there is less documentation available, both public documentation and partner-available documentation."

"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."

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

"However, it lacks strong local support."

"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."

"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 can improve by having better updates for critical issues."

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."

"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 price is very expensive."

"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 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."

"As far as cost, it was around six hundred thousand rands ($40,500) for the year, for the renewals. That's the total cost for a four thousand node system including support and maintenance."

"ManageEngine OpManager is cheaper than SolarWinds."

"The product is not worth the money."

"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."

"It is reasonably priced."

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

"I rate the tool's pricing an eight out of ten."

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