Pros and Cons
- "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."
- "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."
What is our primary use case?
How has it helped my organization?
Since we have a central monitoring system, we can proactively monitor those devices. Before it experiences major downtime, we can easily capture any abnormalities, and we can quickly address the issues before they became a bigger problem in the future. You don't have to go to a specific location to configure anything. All management will be done through eSight.
What is most valuable?
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.
What needs improvement?
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. They can simplify that part.
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.
