Sr. Systems Engineer at a media company with 5,001-10,000 employees
Efficient management and upgrades streamline complex setups
My main complaint is about the blades on the frames, which seem to have a lot of problems. We often have to call HPE for replacements, such as for memory. Constant issues arise, leading to frequent replacement of blade parts. Additionally, the upgrade process is lengthy, requiring careful planning as we cannot match ESXi versions without aligning OneView first, leading to delays.

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

"I think this is a very good solution if you want to have your compliance up-to-date, directly available, and you want to automate."
"Have a single plane of glass across all of the server platforms."
"There was no other solution prior to this one, and we felt that we needed OneView because it could do more in less time and in an easier way."
"If you have HPE compute in place today, you should definitely look at using OneView."
"I would think that any company would want to use it; it makes it easier for the user, the administrator, and makes it simpler from a reporting standpoint, and you can see your entire environment."
"We are very glad, happy with it."
"The improvement was basically to be more efficient and have a lot of productivity, as we are more developed to creation rather than just solving problems."
"Scalability is perfect; if I need to, I can add another couple blades or I can add more to it, and I still have about half my 3PAR nodes open so I can keep adding storage as I need it."
"We use Huawei eSight to monitor devices like Wi-Fi controllers, LAN switches, and routers."
"We can scale the solution."
"Technical support is good from Huawei."
"The most important features are alarm management and the visualization of the health of our network devices."
"The solution's most valuable dashboard features include monitoring storage, resource availability, and hardware alarms."
"One of the most beneficial features of Huawei eSight is its simplicity and ease of use."
"The product is stable."
"We have found the product to be stable and reliable."
 

Cons

"The solution's console can be improved by making it more user-friendly and adding the capability to filter the reports out using only the information required."
"Integration could be improved. Sometimes OneView doesn't identify physical hardware."
"We are just now starting to bring it up, it has taken us around eight weeks and we haven't still been successful to bring it up."
"We have different operations teams managing the servers. It should be segregated more in terms of which operation team is managing which group of servers."
"I would like OneView to support VMware."
"There is no way currently to manage the onboard storage from the servers through the OneView application."
"I'd like to see more integration across Hypervisor and 3PAR storage and other storage products."
"​I have to chop it up into smaller parts, because I have an installation in Europe and it covers the whole world. That is not so good. They need to be more localized, so I am going to chop it up into smaller bits.​"
"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."
"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 variety of license types should be made simpler as, at present, it is complex."
"This solution could be improved by offering monitoring for all devices and not only Huawei devices."
"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."
"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."
"The price is very expensive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"​Use it. It is free."
"HPE could lower the price."
"When it comes to the government, money is never an issue, so it was excellent in terms of the HPE OneView licensing cost. Hitachi was cheaper, but I'd rate HPE OneView cost-wise as eight out of ten."
"The solution is free to use, but if you want the management aspect you require a virtual machine such as C7000 or Synergy which require licenses."
"I feel the product's price falls a bit on the higher side."
"I would rate the cost as six out of ten."
"This license cost for OneView was $3,000 USD."
"Synergy does not require iLO licenses but servers and enclosures must be purchased."
"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."
"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."
"The solution’s pricing is reasonable."
"The price is very expensive."
