I like the visualizations of RF propogation. It has "kludgey" code that acts unpredictably on occasion.

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.

Pros

"The most valuable feature is the visualizations for RF propogation."

"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."
"I like the real-time location monitor or RTLS feature. It is similar to the monitoring feature in Cisco Prime."
"Huawei eSight provides businesses with monitoring capabilities of network devices across your network."
"We use this solution to monitor our sales."

Cons

"It has "kludgey" code that acts unpredictably on occasion."
"The major drawback of this product is, it's not compatible with Linux machines."
"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."
"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."
"It is not a very flexible product. We cannot change much from our side."
"Huawei eSight should work on the option to have the email notification working on Office 365 Exchange."
"The price could be less costly."
"This solution could be improved by offering monitoring for all devices and not only Huawei devices."
"The variety of license types should be made simpler as, at present, it is complex."
"Something that could be improved is the lack of integration with Cisco switches. In the next release, I would like to see better reporting."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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 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."
"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."
"Pricing depends on the competition. If your competitor is like Cisco, then Huawei is much more competitive when it comes to pricing."
