Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"I like the real-time location monitor or RTLS feature. It is similar to the monitoring feature in Cisco Prime.""Huawei eSight provides businesses with monitoring capabilities of network devices across your network.""eSight allows me to monitor and solve any problem in the backbone and any switch in real-time.""The product is stable.""The most important features are alarm management and the visualization of the health of our network devices.""We use Huawei eSight to monitor devices like Wi-Fi controllers, LAN switches, and routers.""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.""We can scale the solution."

"A centralized platform is crucial for efficiently managing all of our switches, which were previously handled individually, leading to significant challenges.""It allows me to do more of the basic firewall features, like traffic management and others, in a single pane of glass.""The most valuable feature is the management from a single pane of glass.""The most valuable feature is the technical support, as it is better than others."

Cons
"It is not a very flexible product.""This solution could be improved by offering monitoring for all devices and not only Huawei devices.""The price could be less costly.""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 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.""Something that could be improved is the lack of integration with Cisco switches. In the next release, I would like to see better reporting.""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.""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."

More Huawei eSight Cons →

"I would like to them include network real-time performance and come up with a dashboard report.""The upgrades are very time-consuming and difficult, and they often have to rebuild the product.""I would like to see Space created to fully functional, where it's got multiple modules, particularly SD-WAN working on Corporate, or maybe become part of the Orchestrator portion.""Its interface should be improved and enhanced to offer various functions, with flexible pricing"
