Huawei eSight vs ManageEngine OpManager comparison

"The product is stable."

"The solution's most valuable dashboard features include monitoring storage, resource availability, and hardware alarms."

"I like the real-time location monitor or RTLS feature. It is similar to the monitoring feature in Cisco Prime."

"eSight allows me to monitor and solve any problem in the backbone and any switch in real-time."

"Huawei eSight provides businesses with monitoring capabilities of network devices across your network."

"We can scale the solution."

"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."

"The most valuable feature is the network-related reporting."

"The detections are fine when they work."

"The solution offers very good integration capabilities."

"Our customers are seeing a clear return on investment with ManageEngine OpManager, which is why they continue using it and maintain the solution for a long time."

"The most valuable feature of ManageEngine OpManager makes it easy to monitor all the network alerts on the application."

"The uptime and monitoring are valuable to us because we need to monitor the uptime of our services, the memory, and the CPUs."

"Desktop central products feature dashboards that are neat and offer comprehensive information."

"The most valuable feature is the monitoring alerts. The administrators are immediately notified and can do the required action immediately. This is the feature we value and use the most."

"This solution could be improved by offering monitoring for all devices and not only Huawei devices."

"Huawei eSight should work on the option to have the email notification working on Office 365 Exchange."

"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."

"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."

"The variety of license types should be made simpler as, at present, it is complex."

"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."

"It is not a very flexible product."

"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 pricing of the solution is high. They should work to adjust the pricing model to see if they can help reduce costs."

"This product is little bit slow sometimes. It may be that we need to change the configuration to improve performance."

"There are certain things that are not possible to do with Op Manager. It's a solution that still needs time to develop."

"ManageEngine OpManager can improve by having better updates for critical issues."

"For the implementation part, I am facing issues when configuring the business view. When I create the business view, I experience problems with the port interface."

"I would like to see more capabilities and specific profiles built for the manufacturing sector."

"There needs to be improvements to make the solution capable of supporting more devices, and it would be good to see an option for automatic deployment."

"We have been facing an issue since last year when a lot of our users started to work from home through their mobiles or computers. We are having trouble reaching these devices. We are now planning to publish our instance to the cloud so that we can reach these devices. Its performance should be improved in terms of the discovery of the devices. I would like to feel confident with the discovery that this solution does. For example, on my dashboard, I would like to be able to view a list of all devices seen on a specific server. At present, it is difficult to find such information. This would be an excellent feature to have."

"The price is very expensive."

"I would rate this solution a nine out of ten for pricing. The pricing depends on which features you use and can become expensive."

"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."

"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 is moderate."

"The price for ManageEngine OpManager is average."

"We had perpetual licenses. The cost was around 36,000 for OPManager, and then you'd have the yearly maintenance fee of 2,000 or 3,000."

"The solution's licensing costs are yearly and based on the number of applications."

"The solution's pricing is very low compared to other products."

"ManageEngine OpManager has a three-tier licensing model."

"It is reasonably priced."

"I rate the tool's pricing an eight out of ten."
