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.
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

"It is a necessary tool for us and it works well."
"It monitors all our servers, and if there is any problem it straight away sends us an alert. If It's a faulty component, we can see it from there. It sends an alert."
"​It is very stable. We have had no downtime nor issues in approximately a year. ​"
"The deployment was easy, it has many features, and it is a great solution that is easy to use while providing a good inventory of your hardware and firmware."
"It provides a centralized management system for storage, switches and servers and helps to monitor all of this equipment."
"It saves us a lot of time; time is money, and we mess around with servers all day, so it's a huge time saver."
"Profile templates: The ability to generate the profiles and lay them down so the servers are built consistently. I would say that's probably the biggest piece of it."
"We have the dashboard up on a big screen, and you can actually see when things go wrong or if there are any faults with any of the servers. The backup is automated as well, so the appliance is quite good.​"
"We have found the product to be stable and reliable."
"The most important features are alarm management and the visualization of the health of our network devices."
"The product is stable."
"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."
"Huawei eSight provides businesses with monitoring capabilities of network devices across your network."
"Technical support is good from Huawei."
"We use this solution to monitor our sales."
"We use Huawei eSight to monitor devices like Wi-Fi controllers, LAN switches, and routers."
 

Cons

"In OneView, the permissions need to be done better because right now I can only select a server administrator, a storage administrator, and a network administrator as far as my options are concerned."
"The system currently has 75,000 alerts that are either being acknowledged or some are active, and there's not a simple way of selecting a whole filtered list and then closing them off and deleting them."
"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 hate to say, not a lot. It's encouraging to see a couple of features in version 4 that we think ought to have been there from the start."
"Stability is a hit and miss."
"It's a nice product. It's a little slow sometimes."
"Does not allow for switch configuration other than through OneView."
"Our first experience with the technical support was with one of the other products that is associated with OneView, which is ICSP, and the support was pretty poor."
"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 could be less costly."
"The variety of license types should be made simpler as, at present, it is complex."
"When I implemented this Huawei solution, I faced some limitations in particular areas like wireless scanning."
"This solution could be improved by offering monitoring for all devices and not only Huawei devices."
"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."
"Something that could be improved is the lack of integration with Cisco switches. In the next release, I would like to see better reporting."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I feel the product's price falls a bit on the higher side."
"​Use it. It is free."
"​I am happy with the price."
"I would rate the cost as six out of ten."
"HPE could lower the price."
"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."
"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."
"This license cost for OneView was $3,000 USD."
"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 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."
"The price is very expensive."
