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.

Room for Improvement: DX Unified Infrastructure Management can improve in tool integration, customer support, and VMware monitoring functionality. Users suggest enhancements in web interfaces and mass deployment capabilities. Huawei eSight could benefit from better automation, improved reporting, and broader integration options with non-Huawei devices.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: DX Unified Infrastructure Management supports hybrid cloud deployments but experiences inconsistencies in service across support interactions, with noted variance in technical support effectiveness post-CA Technologies acquisition. Huawei eSight focuses on on-premises deployment with reliable technical support and customer service, particularly in Huawei-oriented environments.

Pricing and ROI: DX Unified Infrastructure Management, though expensive, offers flexible pricing and licensing structures that align with enterprise needs and significant ROI through consolidation of monitoring services and proactive problem resolution. Huawei eSight is competitively priced with straightforward scaling options for Huawei-specific environments, providing a quick ROI through efficient device management and integration.

Easy to set up, simple to use, and offers great technical support

There are quite a few manual processes. We've had issues with pulling reports. Sometimes we have trouble or get errors. The reporting process should be easier. If you have a hub, you should be able to have an unlimited number of servers. For example, if you have 500 servers, and the limit is ten, you have to pull 50 reports. We'd like to just pull one report for all servers. This also increases the time to pull reports. If we have to pull more reports, it takes that much longer than just pulling one. The product can be expensive. Right now, they are updating and consolidating the dashboard. I'm expecting an update that will resolve a few glitches in the server.

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

"You can scale it pretty much however way you want to as long as you have the servers to throw at it."

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

"Easy admin functionality. You can quickly do all the admin functionality without reducing cycles."

"Latest version of tool comes integrated with Jaspersoft reporting solution, giving excellent reports."

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

"What I like about DX Unified Infrastructure Management is that it's a very good product. The feature I found most valuable in the solution is the MCS feature, which is the automatic deployment of the objects you want to monitor. You can set up a system, for example, if it's a Windows machine and I want to test specific devices on it, I could do that through DX Unified Infrastructure Management. That type of deployment is very good because it means you won't miss any monitoring aspect on any server."

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

"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."

More DX Unified Infrastructure Management pros

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

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

"We can scale the solution."

"One of the most beneficial features of Huawei eSight is its simplicity and ease of use."

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

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

"The product is stable."

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

More Huawei eSight pros

Cons

"DX UIM's reporting and customization need to be improved."

"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 company has not kept pace with developments."

"The UIM has no features through goods and services yet. "

"A useful feature to have would be automatic configuration per standard by new robots that check in for any particular customer."

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

"The dashboards need to be improved."

"We want to see more investment in the UI and the dashboard."

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."

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

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

"It is not a very flexible product."

"The price could be less costly."

"The variety of license types should be made simpler as, at present, it is complex."

"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."

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

More Huawei eSight cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Reasonable setup cost and licensing prices."

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

"CAD $400,000 annually."

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

"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."

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

"The solution’s pricing is reasonable."

"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 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."

"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."
