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

"The solution is easy to deploy. It's also easy to manage and monitor the environment. Instead of being reactive, it's proactive.""I like being able to push configurations to multiple devices. If you have the same configurations for all the branches, it's easier to use ManageEngine OpManager and push configurations at once rather than individually pushing them to each device.""We use the solution to monitor links. It also helps us to track servers and monitor logs.""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.""Device backups are smooth and managed centrally, with a nice dashboard, so you can quickly see the status.""The solution gives pretty good network visibility. I am also impressed with it's monitoring.""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."

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

"We encounter challenges in monitoring cloud services. I would also appreciate it if there was someone available to walk you through the documentation.""Some of our customers have been asking that OpManager have a feature to monitor the operating system, however, I tell them that Endpoint Central is doing that. You can buy endpoints and then OpManager, and they integrate between them, and everything is okay.""We would like the solution's customize and build functionality to be more user-friendly.""I would like to see more enhancements made to the product.""The integration with various OEM products could be simplified.""The main area for improvement for ManageEngine OpManager is its performance.""With regard to configurations, however, it would be nice to have more documentation on SNMP configurations. For example, if I want to add a new vendor, it would be great if ManageEngine provided the requirements for that vendor, such as the commands needed.""You cannot resolve 100 percent of the issues yourself. You would need to reach out to the support. It needs to be cheaper."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "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 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."
  • More Huawei eSight Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "As far as cost, it was around six hundred thousand rands ($40,500) for the year, for the renewals. That's the total cost for a four thousand node system including support and maintenance."
  • "The licensing costs depend on the number of devices and accounts that are being monitored by the solution."
  • "The initial cost is low and the add-ons are reasonable."
  • "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 licensing is on a yearly basis and the pricing is on the cheaper side."
  • "In terms of pricing, I would rate it a two out of five. It was expensive."
  • "ManageEngine OpManager has a three-tier licensing model."
  • "We have a standard license for ManageEngine OpManager. We purchased the license for one year and now we are upgrading it soon."
