Featured Reviews

Gary Strydom - PeerSpot reviewer
Used to monitor devices and provides the hardware alarms feature
Huawei eSight has helped me overcome many monitoring aspects of the hardware. From a single view, I can monitor all the hardware. Instead of logging on to each piece of hardware and monitoring it individually, I can monitor them from one single point. I would recommend the solution to other users because it provides a single point of view of the hardware. Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.
Michael Wenn - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides strong event correlation features, but its initial setup should be made easier
The solution's integrations are out of the box, and it is easy to integrate the tool with many technologies through its APIs. Moogsoft is always deployed on the cloud. Since it's a SaaS-based solution, it's cloud-delivered but also deploys to a hybrid or on-premises situation. The solution attaches itself to any environment size, but it's delivered via SaaS. The solution has room for improvement, but it's a pretty good technology. It does very well in delivering a big impact for businesses. Now, since it's owned by Dell and has the financial backing, it'll go from strength to strength. It's built by two very experienced co-founders who have used this type of technology before and were very much ahead of the curve. I'm still implementing the solution, and it is a platform that can deliver to something as big as HSBC. Overall, I rate the solution a seven out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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."
"The solution's most valuable dashboard features include monitoring storage, resource availability, and hardware alarms."
"eSight allows me to monitor and solve any problem in the backbone and any switch in real-time."
"The most important features are alarm management and the visualization of the health of our network devices."
"The product is stable."
"We can scale the solution."
"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."
"Incident management is streamlined with Moogsoft. One standout feature is its unique situation-creation capability, differentiating it from other fault management tools. While other tools typically convert alarms directly into tickets or incidents, Moogsoft adds a middle layer where multiple alarms can be aggregated into one incident. Moogsoft's strong AI capabilities also allow it to correlate similar alarms automatically based on past experiences."
"Moogsoft's most valuable features are event management, correlation, and observability."
"The AI component allows you to check previous cases and diagnose problems easily."
"Moogsoft AIOps integrates seamlessly with 50-plus IT monitoring, automation, service management, notification, and collaboration tools. It also provides a great and easy-to-use interface for observing."
"Moogsoft helps manage alert fatigue by consolidating various alerts into a single portal instead of monitoring them across different devices, allowing team members to own alerts and monitor them efficiently, which benefits the whole team."
"I find the unsupervised learning algorithms for noise reduction particularly valuable. The algorithm's ability to identify and reduce noise is a feature we initially liked. The anomaly detection feature is excellent for maintaining system uptime as it helps identify problems quickly."
"The Event Management feature is quite valuable."
"The solution is extremely helpful with correlating IP failures and it has a very good sort of flow chart of IP systems. For example, if you see a failure in system A, you can track it down to the system causing the issue. This is a very handy feature."
 

Cons

"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."
"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 price could be less costly."
"The variety of license types should be made simpler as, at present, it is complex."
"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."
"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."
"It is taking a long time to set it up and could do more to roll out quickly."
"Moogsoft is dependent on external products to do orchestration and SOP-based functionality."
"I would like to see additional reports or information on the dashboard that includes metrics about CPU usage and memory."
"Some additional API interfacing would be great to enable getting the data out of AIOps programmatically."
"The documentation and flexibility for generic integration could be improved."
"The unsupervised learning algorithms in Moogsoft are valuable, but the learning processes, run book creation, and neural feedback areas could be improved."
"The solution's initial setup is complex, and it should be made easier."
"They are very much dependent on open-source technologies like RabbitMQ message bus. They are using open-source databases, Apache Tomcat, NGINX. If we face any issues with Apache Tomcat or the RabbitMQ message bus, then we do not get support from them. We have to troubleshoot it ourselves."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"Pricing depends on the competition. If your competitor is like Cisco, then Huawei is much more competitive when it comes to pricing."
"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 price is very expensive."
"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."
"It's a very cost-effective and competitive product."
"As for pricing, Moogsoft recently updated their pricing model, and we're still evaluating it. It's an area where clarity is needed with the new alert-based pricing model."
"The solution is very good from a business impact point of view, but it's quite expensive because it's an enterprise-grade solution."
"When compared to other solutions, it is quite good."
"Moogsoft's licensing is consumption-based, so the price may increase depending on the environment."
