We performed a comparison between Huawei eSight and OpenText Network Node Manager i based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Network Management Applications solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We can scale the solution."
"The most important features are alarm management and the visualization of the health of our network devices."
"We use Huawei eSight to monitor devices like Wi-Fi controllers, LAN switches, and routers."
"eSight allows me to monitor and solve any problem in the backbone and any switch in real-time."
"Huawei eSight provides businesses with monitoring capabilities of network devices across your network."
"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."
"I like the real-time location monitor or RTLS feature. It is similar to the monitoring feature in Cisco Prime."
"The product is stable."
"It is a scalable product."
"You can utilize the main file from various vendors for integration."
"We do not have any issues stability-wise."
"The best feature is the solution's entire credibility with all vendors."
"A good enterprise-level solution."
"If you install one node on Network Node Manager and want to scale it up, it's pretty easy to create more nodes."
"It's quite a mature solution."
"Real time network monitoring application: It is very stable, which provides quick root cause analysis (RCA) for any network faults."
"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 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."
"Something that could be improved is the lack of integration with Cisco switches. In the next release, I would like to see better reporting."
"The price could be less costly."
"It is not a very flexible product."
"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."
"Right now, we have open tickets and they are not closing as expected."
"Micro Focus Network Node Manager is not the best when it comes to drilling down for more visibility, especially regarding traffic."
"The way the solution currently works means I'm not able to customize my own reports."
"Only to improve the GUI."
"When I open a ticket, usually they respond very late. Some of the people I negotiate with seem undertrained."
"We had some issues with some of the features, some modules are not meeting expectations."
"As the technologies evolve, also these solutions or the monitoring tools should evolve to cover the progress in technology, including capabilities related to monitoring of virtualized devices today, as the DNS is on the table in this way."
"The dashboards are not customizable and it's not user-friendly."
