Huawei eSight vs ManageEngine OpManager comparison

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

"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."

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

"The most important features are alarm management and the visualization of the health of our network devices."

"One of the most beneficial features of Huawei eSight is its simplicity and ease of use."

"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."

"The integration with the firewall monitoring, the security monitoring, is great."

"The setup was easy."

"We don't have to keep an eye on it; it has a good automation option, which keeps us informed. It gives very less false positives. Overall, a really great product."

"We have found the solution to be stable."

"The detections are fine when they work."

"The solution's most valuable features are reporting, event notifications, and alert management."

"I am satisfied with ManageEngine OpManager's monitoring features."

"Overall, I give the product a rating of ten."

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

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

"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 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."

"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 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."

"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."

"Needs an OVA, or more support for virtual deployments. Building a virtual instance of OpManager and OpManager Probe was a bit difficult because there was no OVA available."

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

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

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

"The licensing for this solution is not straightforward and should be improved."

"The dashboard has some limitations and should be more user-friendly."

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

"OpManager is slow but that just might be the server we have it on. I don't think that's the problem but I don't do the server. But it is slow. When you're interacting with it, it could be more nimble and could be faster."

"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."

"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."

"The price is very expensive."

"The tool's licensing costs are yearly."

"The price of ManageEngine OpManager is reasonable. We have an annual license and the cost comes from how many devices are being monitored. There is not anything extra cost for maintenance and support."

"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."

"The initial cost is low and the add-ons are reasonable."

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

"ManageEngine OpManager is cheaper than SolarWinds."

"Pricing for ManageEngine OpManager depends on the number of nodes you onboard and whatever pricing is reflected on the ManageEngine portal which offers discounts from ten percent to fifteen percent. It purely depends on the sales volume and the negotiation. In my organization, there are about one thousand two hundred nodes which cost around $29,000 per year. There's no additional support fee or maintenance fee from ManageEngine OpManager. Pricing for the solution is highly competitive and I would rate it five out of five. ManageEngine OpManager is one of the most competitive options out there."
