NetScaler and Huawei eSight compete in the network management and application delivery category. NetScaler seems to have the upper hand due to its versatility in offering robust features for various cloud environments and advanced security functionalities.
Features: NetScaler provides a wide array of features, including SSL offloading, traffic management, and disaster recovery, with a focus on load balancing and high integration capabilities. Huawei eSight is specialized in monitoring and reporting, with strengths in managing Huawei infrastructure and integrating with Huawei devices, with functionalities like network traffic analysis.
Room for Improvement: NetScaler users suggest improving configuration processes, documentation, and enhancing security integration with more video tutorials for complex setups. Huawei eSight users highlight the need for improved automation, more comprehensive reporting capabilities, and better integration with third-party products, along with enhanced support documentation.
Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: NetScaler offers flexibility in deployment across public, private, and hybrid clouds but faces challenges with inconsistent tech support. Huawei eSight primarily focuses on on-premises deployment, providing stable technical support but can benefit from increased expertise and quicker problem resolution.
Pricing and ROI: NetScaler is viewed as more expensive but delivers significant ROI through centralized management and enhanced security, making the investment worthwhile for many users. Huawei eSight offers competitive pricing within Huawei-centric environments, with users reporting satisfactory ROI, despite having less flexibility than NetScaler.
Huawei's eSight is a unified software suite for planning, operating, and maintaining complex enterprise ICT infrastructure from global, converged networks and data centers to multimedia and video communications that includes the facilities necessary for delivering performance and IT services. eSight provides a platform that supports infrastructure and devices from third-party providers, to develop custom management applications and improves O&M efficiency.
One platform for a consistent application delivery and security experience because nobody has time to learn multiple systems to manage ADC deployments. NetScaler is built with a single code base using a software-based architecture, so no matter which ADC form factor you choose — hardware, virtual machine, bare metal, or container — the behavior will be the same.
