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."

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

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

"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."

"We use Huawei eSight to monitor devices like Wi-Fi controllers, LAN switches, and routers."

"We can scale the solution."

"The dashboard, versatility and larger horizon are valuable."

"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."

"ManageEngine OpManager is user-friendly and easy to use. Additionally, useful for basic monitoring."

"The dashboard is unique and user-friendly."

"The detections are fine when they work."

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

"The alerting feature has improved our organization. We can create multiple alerts and refine them to how we need to use them."

"Some of the useful features are NetFlow and analytics."

"It is not a very flexible product."

"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."

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

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

"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 price could be less costly."

"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."

"ManageEngine OpManager could improve by having a better cloud presence."

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

"It would be great if there were some sort of artificial intelligence feature which would help us make improvements in the network once we find an issue, and do it automatically."

"We get a lot of false alerts."

"ManageEngine OpManager could improve the default dashboards that are available. We are not able to customize them easily and they do not give us the information we need unless we customize them. You need to have the technical knowledge to be able to do it, the customization should be easier."

"The storage level monitoring needs improvement. It needs storage level monitoring on the server itself. That feature is lacking right now."

"The only problem with it is that the setup isn't very intuitive. I know that they just upgraded the product to make it a little bit easier to use, but compared to some of the other platforms, it is not easy to configure it, set it up, and get it running. However, once you have set it up and got it running, it runs great."

"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."

"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 solution’s pricing is reasonable."

"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."

"It is not really expensive; it is nominal licensing."

"ManageEngine OpManager is cheaper than SolarWinds."

"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 tool's licensing costs are yearly."

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

"In terms of pricing, I would rate it a two out of five. It was expensive."

"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."
