Executive SummaryUpdated on Oct 9, 2024

DX Unified Infrastructure Management and Huawei eSight compete in the infrastructure monitoring and management category. DX UIM appears to have the upper hand due to its flexibility and integration capabilities across diverse environments, making it more versatile than Huawei eSight which is focused on Huawei-heavy infrastructures.

Features: DX Unified Infrastructure Management offers extensive monitoring capabilities, customizable dashboards, and a centralized management portal. It provides scalable monitoring for a wide range of platforms and applications and broad probe coverage with customization options. Huawei eSight delivers basic monitoring and reporting efficiency and strong performance in managing Huawei devices within Huawei infrastructure environments.

Principal Presale Consultant at Ness Technologies

Great scalability, versatility, infrastructure coverage and ease of implementation

I rate the initial setup an eight out of ten. The number of people needed for deployment depends on the customer, but we usually need at least one person and two to three at other times. The initial implementation takes about two months. The full implementation can be infinite because you may want to implement more. The product does not require a lot of maintenance. To increase the implementation, we push additional services in the first and second years to make it more robust and fully implemented. We usually sell to big enterprises. It can also be affordable for smaller enterprises, but we don't work with them a lot. We have from 2,000 to 10,000 workers. So the product itself can have five, ten or even 20 users.

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

"It's easy to push out across numerous servers. Very scalable."

"The benefit is easy installation. Thus, the model approach of the product and out-of-the-box probes, which deliver direct value."

"I can use the Drag and Drop feature to build dashboards within minutes."

"The real value is our being able to pull all the historic data that we need in order to gather every little metric and nuanced piece of information from a given device, a given piece of infrastructure, in order for us to generate alerts."

"It is easy to implement."

"Scalability and flexibility. The product can grow with your infrastructure so you don't have to install other products. Just add components. It's very simple."

"It delivers our customers many metrics, so they may make decisions"

"Another division handed us the opportunity to monitor their solutions as written, and UIM was very useful for that."

More DX Unified Infrastructure Management pros

"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."

"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 can scale the solution."

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

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

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

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

More Huawei eSight pros

Cons

"They need to continue to advance the filter capabilities, and provide more input fields."

"The dashboards need to be improved."

"Making a GUI with criteria such as selection by robot/hub/probe etc."

"It needs a little bit more functionality in the Admin Console."

"I would like to see auditability. We've built our own audit functionality to ensure that every CI has the desired model configuration applied to it. And we run that on a daily basis. If that became part of the product, I think it might be a little bit less intensive in terms of resource, because we're doing it with scripts."

"The biggest feature that I've been hoping they would enhance on is inventory management: things like adding/removing nodes."

"Currently lacks a mobile application which would be helpful."

"We have experienced challenges with finding a mechanism to deploy the agents, but it's only on the first deployment so it's not a big issue."

More DX Unified Infrastructure Management cons

"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."

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

"eSight has many features and options, but sometimes, we feel that it should be more advanced, like Cisco. It would be good if they can enable some automation part in eSight. Most of our customers want automation in their network. They don't want a dependency on everything. That's why the automation part must be improved in Huawei. It will be beneficial for customers. Cisco has different products, and there are multiple products for monitoring, automation, etc. In the software-defined network, Cisco has ACI, and VMware has NSX. Such options must be there in Huawei to move to a software-defined network. Unlike Cisco, in the case of eSight, there is only one product. I am not aware of any other product. It would be good to enhance it with at least some automation options so that we can use it effectively in the campus network or big data center environment. When I implemented this Huawei solution, I faced some limitations in particular areas like wireless scanning. This is another part that they can improve. Wireless reporting option is not as effective as other monitoring solutions. For a particular use case, if a customer is asking for some reports, sometimes they are not 100% satisfactory. The reporting structure must be improved."

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

"Something that could be improved is the lack of integration with Cisco switches. In the next release, I would like to see better reporting."

"It is not a very flexible product."

"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."

More Huawei eSight cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product-price ratio is better than other brands such as Fortinet or SonicWall."

"Reasonable setup cost and licensing prices."

"Pricing for DX Unified Infrastructure Management isn't cheap at all. It's a complex tool, so you have to pay more. No one is happy with a large bill to pay, but if it's a complex product and you designed a complex solution to be monitored, it'll be your fault that you need to buy an expensive product, and that would be implicit in the design of DX Unified Infrastructure Management. Monitoring is just a small part of it. Sometimes you have to pay a significant amount of money for a complex yet very good solution."

"CAD $400,000 annually."

"This product is expensive compared to other vendors (SolarWinds, ManageEngine)."

"The license cost depends on the number of probes and robots."

"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."

"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."
