Featured Reviews

Gary Strydom - PeerSpot reviewer
Desktop Analyst at Transnet
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.

Real-time alerts have reduced server outage impact and support fast incident response
In the dashboard, if they could show a little more metrics regarding the application and related things, that would be how New Relic could be improved. Currently, there are things showing from the server level and application level, but it can be improved. That is what I felt. Regarding user interface, I do not feel much concern, but for some kind of issues when we are trying to get support from the New Relic team, their SLA seems to be long. They are taking seven to ten working days for resolving some kind of scenario or issue. That is a bit difficult for us. If they could improve the customer support by reducing their SLA within three to five days, if they could remediate everything, that will be so much helpful. When it comes to the customer support part, I felt they need to be a little more improved on that part. The support overall is good, but they can improve. That is the reason I have given it eight 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

"The solution's most valuable dashboard features include monitoring storage, resource availability, and hardware alarms."
"We can scale the solution."
"Since we have a central monitoring system, we can proactively monitor those devices, easily capture any abnormalities before major downtime, and quickly address the issues before they become a bigger problem in the future."
"The most important features are alarm management and the visualization of the health of our network devices."
"We use this solution to monitor our sales."
"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."
"Technical support is good from Huawei."
"With the metrics from New Relic, we can improve the performance and reduce the downtime because we can identify problems and solve them more quickly."
"In my opinion, New Relic is a good tool, and if a colleague was asking my opinion, I would say "Go ahead and use it!" It is a good solution."
"New Relic has positively impacted my organization by making it easier to catch failures so I can resolve them quickly and take action."
"Please go ahead and try this and you won't regret having it."
"It's given us the ability for anyone to know how our customers experience our application."
"Go with it. It is a good product. It gives us the visibility that we need in monitoring."
"In several days, we got a great ROI due to an issue in a customer application."
"The API functionality allows us to get hit counts from external sources, such as APIs or databases, and everything is mapped very clearly."
 

Cons

"It is not a very flexible product. We cannot change much from our side."
"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."
"When I implemented this Huawei solution, I faced some limitations in particular areas like wireless scanning."
"The price is very expensive."
"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."
"This solution could be improved by offering monitoring for all devices and not only Huawei devices."
"They need to improve the alerting and dashboarding as these are the key features in DevOps."
"Email alert customization is limited."
"Sometimes it’s too difficult to get more details about a problem. Sometimes it requires too much drilling down to find out about a problem for which we shouldn't need to do so much searching."
"The support could improve because they are not very fast and the information was not very accurate."
"More instruments with .NET and asynchronous calls, and New Relic says it’s on the way."
"New Relic is priced on the higher side."
"New Relic can be improved in a few areas. I noticed that some things can be easily done through Splunk but not through New Relic."
"I think their dev packages for server monitoring could handle configuration a bit better."
 

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."
"The solution’s pricing is reasonable."
"Pricing depends on the competition. If your competitor is like Cisco, then Huawei is much more competitive when it comes to pricing."
"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 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 pricing and licensing are good if you have an account manager and a partner manager who are looking to help out."
"Purchasing through the AWS Marketplace was easy. The product is easy to deploy and manage, which is why our company purchased through the AWS Marketplace."
"The pricing and licensing are too high."
"The pricing could be better. We did not purchase the full version. Maybe if we applied all the other features of the full version of New Relic, we could get all the features that we feel are missing."
"The solution is less expensive than AppNeta."
"The price depends on how many agents you want."
"We deploy everything on AWS. Purchasing the product on AWS Marketplace made it easier for us."
"The new licensing model is great, as we pay for what we use (in computational units). However, the pricing is expensive compared to other tools."
