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

"OneView allowed us to accelerate the base configuration far faster and more accurately than ever before with manual configuration procedures."
"It gives us a view of all our servers, which we did not have before in real-time."
"It provides a centralized management system for storage, switches and servers and helps to monitor all of this equipment."
"I like the ability that we can manage multiple enclosures within OneView; it's like one stop shopping where you can manage all the server profiles and do everything from a blade enclosure standpoint using OneView."
"Just the ability to provision the servers with storage and network everything within one interface, not having to go into multiple interfaces to provision those pieces."
"Having one platform to monitor and to access or configure all the servers or the 3PAR, etc., is rather simple to use, and that's very important for us."
"Absolutely install it. Don't get too far behind with more HPE storage or servers without this product."
"The solution is scalable and I used simulation mode for many enclosures and 400-500 nodes with no inefficiencies."
"The most important features are alarm management and the visualization of the health of our network devices."
"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."
"Technical support is good from Huawei."
"The product is stable."
"We have found the product to be stable and reliable."
"We can scale the solution."
"Huawei eSight provides businesses with monitoring capabilities of network devices across your network."
"One of the most beneficial features of Huawei eSight is its simplicity and ease of use."
 

Cons

"There is a lot of automated stuff in there, but we'd like to step into the middle of that and bring in our own different tools as a part of that integration."
"With every new version, new devices are supported in OneView, but we are still missing support for some HPE products."
"I'd like to see more integration across Hypervisor and 3PAR storage and other storage products."
"I know we tend to have issues with our server profiles. When we're changing server profiles and applying them we run into some red flags occasionally."
"I’d like to see more functionality going towards the hybrid IT."
"Does not allow for switch configuration other than through OneView."
"The interface is a bit bland. It does its job, but it could have a better interface."
"It's a little slow sometimes. Overall, I think it does what it's supposed to do. I think that as they evolve it, it'll get quicker."
"Something that could be improved is the lack of integration with Cisco switches. In the next release, I would like to see better reporting."
"It is not a very flexible product. We cannot change much from our side."
"Something that could be improved is the lack of integration with Cisco switches."
"When I implemented this Huawei solution, I faced some limitations in particular areas like wireless scanning."
"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 is not a very flexible product."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"HPE could lower the price."
"This license cost for OneView was $3,000 USD."
"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."
"​I am happy with the price."
"Synergy does not require iLO licenses but servers and enclosures must be purchased."
"I would rate the cost as six out of ten."
"I feel the product's price falls a bit on the higher side."
"HPE had some other solutions, but they were actually quite expensive to buy. So, when OneView came along, it was kind of reasonable in terms of price for licenses, etc."
"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 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."
"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."
