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

"OneView is the one tool where you can manage your build environment, the hyper-converged environment, or the Synergy environment yourself."
"Technical support is top notch."
"Go ahead and do it. It gives you that one-pane-of-glass and makes life a lot easier than trying to go into each server and seeing what's going on."
"It has improved the working of our organization by providing more consistency within our firmware, drivers, firmware baseline and server profiling; thus it provides more consistency."
"Managing everything from one screen, so we do not have to open another screen for every machine, saves a lot of time for us."
"It's rather simple to use, and that's very important for us."
"The analytics and monitoring tools in HPE OneView are superior to other network monitoring platforms such as Nagios, and the features include multiple modules that allow you to create and write your own scripts based on your requirements for different servers such as database servers or tapping roaming servers."
"OneView is a really good option and it makes our life easy."
"The product is stable."
"We have found the product to be stable and reliable."
"Huawei eSight provides businesses with monitoring capabilities of network devices across your network."
"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."
"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."
"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."
 

Cons

"I have not given it a perfect rating because some features are missing like adding other storage systems and providing email notifications."
"Sometimes it gets slow, so it doesn’t always perform well."
"I don’t like HP support very much, as they tend to transfer me to random places that don’t help me very much."
"Sometimes the interface can be a little confusing, sometimes the error messages can be very cryptic, as far as what's actually going on."
"It was a complex installation. The user guide was missing content about the configuration."
"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."
"The setup was very complex, but it wasn't always complex."
"Maybe it could be a little faster."
"Huawei eSight should work on the option to have the email notification working on Office 365 Exchange."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Technical support for the solution is not so good."
"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."
"The variety of license types should be made simpler as, at present, it is complex."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would rate the cost as six out of ten."
"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."
"​Use it. It is free."
"Synergy does not require iLO licenses but servers and enclosures must be purchased."
"HPE could lower the price."
"This license cost for OneView was $3,000 USD."
"I feel the product's price falls a bit on the higher side."
"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."
"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."
"I would rate this solution a nine out of ten for pricing. The pricing depends on which features you use and can become expensive."
