IT Architect Consultant at RTFM

Has proactive monitoring with predictive insights and a user-friendly interface

Some of the most valuable features of CloudIQ include its health status alerts, which allow you to see quickly if there is something that needs immediate attention, preventing the need to check each system individually. It provides a status with traffic light colors, where red indicates danger, yellow means attention is needed, and green represents normal conditions to easily understand the health of the environment. The quick overview aids in decision-making. Additionally, CloudIQ's predictive capabilities, which are enhanced by artificial intelligence, have improved operational efficiency by providing proactive information to prevent issues before they arise.

Gary Strydom

Desktop Analyst at Transnet

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.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"Fewer vulnerabilities have been observed in the four years we have used the solution."

"CloudIQ allows us to monitor our servers centrally, and we can receive notifications in case of issues, like a potential hard drive failure."

"Some of the most valuable features of CloudIQ include its health status alerts, which allow you to see quickly if there is something that needs immediate attention, preventing the need to check each system individually."

"I rate CloudIQ a ten out of ten."

"It's convenient because you can access it from a mobile device without needing a laptop."

"I use Dell CloudIQ for the availability and capacity reporting, which is very helpful in terms of capacity and availability reporting, and if there is any fault or faulty drive or faulty part, I am alerted on time with that, which is the main benefit that avoids any unplanned outage."

"The dashboard is clear and user-friendly."

More Dell CloudIQ pros

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

"We can scale the solution."

"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."

"eSight allows me to monitor and solve any problem in the backbone and any switch in real-time."

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

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

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

"The product is stable."

More Huawei eSight pros

Cons

"Getting through support has become a difficult thing. Dell's support has degraded since they took over EMC. It's a bit difficult to use."

"There is a need for improvement in predictive maintenance, which I assume is somewhat AI-driven."

"The main limitation of CloudIQ is that it is intended to be used exclusively with Dell hardware."

"The process of upgrading could be streamlined."

"PowerScale is the only file system offered and that is limiting."

"It can improve the reporting facility to create custom reports or dashboards."

"Supporting legacy systems is an area that can be improved."

"Doesn't do well in terms of integrating with technologies other than Dell."

More Dell CloudIQ cons

"It is not a very flexible product."

"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."

"The price could be less costly."

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

"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."

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

"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."

More Huawei eSight cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I believe it is a free product because we don't pay for it."

"The solution is more expensive than NetApp which offers file systems in various price ranges."

"I would rate this solution a nine out of ten for pricing. The pricing depends on which features you use and can become expensive."

"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 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."
