End-to-end monitoring has improved user experience and now supports comprehensive observability
The most valuable features of eG Enterprise depend on the application, so that's pretty vast, but they definitely include end-to-end application and infrastructure monitoring. User satisfaction with eG Enterprise is really the key component now, so if you go to VDI or RDH, any of those platforms, you get the total end-to-end user experience because they do have endpoint monitoring now as well, and that was the feature that was lacking before.
Gary Strydom - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"The support we get from eG Innovations is truly outstanding."
"EG monitors all infrastructure elements (all OS, all database, storage, network, and web server) from a single console."
"The product is simple to use."
"It gives good insight into inside of what's going on with Exchange."
"I would rate their technical support for eG Enterprise probably as the best I've ever dealt with."
"Its ability to monitor failures and to restart a Windows service when it fails."
"It delivers a huge amount of value and most people don't understand that."
"What I like about eG Enterprise is that it's easy to use, it's a simple product, and you can get up to seventy-five to eighty percent of the required information based on real user experience and diagnostics."
"The product is stable."
"We use Huawei eSight to monitor devices like Wi-Fi controllers, LAN switches, and routers."
"One of the most beneficial features of Huawei eSight is its simplicity and ease of use."
"We use this solution to monitor our sales."
"Technical support is good from Huawei."
"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."
"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."
 

Cons

"I would not buy this product again knowing what I know now. It takes too much time and it is still not where it used to be."
"The integration must be improved."
"The solution needs to enhance the management dashboards."
"The UI looks a little dated and could do with a refresh."
"The solution should improve on the security side and include some more API integrations into wider application platforms."
"Dashboards are difficult to create, and not so useful."
"eG Enterprise's licensing could be cheaper. Even compared to Dynatrace, I think the price is quite expensive considering the APM functionalities, even though they have other benefits such as info monitoring."
"One thing that I don't like about eG is like the interface. It's not really that user-friendly to make a change, or to navigate through."
"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."
"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."
"Technical support for the solution is not so good."
"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."
"The variety of license types should be made simpler as, at present, it is complex."
"The price is very expensive."
"Something that could be improved is the lack of integration with Cisco switches. In the next release, I would like to see better reporting."
"Huawei eSight should work on the option to have the email notification working on Office 365 Exchange."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is very cheap."
"There are two licensing options: Perpetual and SaaS-based. The main offering, in terms of what eG prefers to offer, is the subscription-based rather than the Perpetual License. The price could be cheaper."
"They gave us a good price, when they were found out we were looking at other products because their price was very high. We were looking at another solution, then we came back to them was because they brought the price down. We selected them for three years."
"eG Enterprise is much cheaper than the other products it competes with."
"We paid about 300,000 Saudi Riyal for the solution and it was quite affordable compared to the competition."
"If using eG for virtual desktops, carefully calculate whether per named user, per concurrent user, or per server"
"The cost for eG Enterprise is almost $100,000 for one hundred and fifty services. It's subscription-based and the payment is yearly."
"They are aligned with other enterprise solutions."
"The price is very expensive."
"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."
"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."
"I would rate this solution a nine out of ten for pricing. The pricing depends on which features you use and can become 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."
