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.
Muhammad Umair Gulfam - PeerSpot reviewer
Automates Azure resource monitoring and inventory management but slow with real-time patch status
There is room for improvement in the performance of the product. The main problem is with patch management. The actual problem we're facing is with the patch management feature. It's not real-time, which creates inconsistencies. The machine might say there are no updates available, while the OpsRamp agent reports that everything's patched. It's a mismatch. We recently started a new marketplace for clients where we manage patch management. We try to share knowledge with OpsRamp, but they don't have a rapid process for product enhancements. Our main pain point is the lack of engagement from the product team. If someone from OpsRamp could discuss our concerns, work on future enhancements, or even give us an estimated timeline (ETA), it would be a huge improvement.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"eSight allows me to monitor and solve any problem in the backbone and any switch in real-time."
"The product is stable."
"We can scale the solution."
"We use Huawei eSight to monitor devices like Wi-Fi controllers, LAN switches, and routers."
"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."
"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."
"The most valuable features of OpsRamp include a single pane of glass, event correlation, personalized dashboards, and a single platform solution."
"We find the products seamless integration with Zendesk to be extremely valuable to our business."
"What I appreciate most about OpsRamp is that while many tools in the market provide standard monitoring, OpsRamp stands out as a differentiator by providing AIOps features, including correlation, deduplication, and automation where we can run RBA scripts on top of created alerts."
"Predictive analysis is a valued feature."
"The most valuable feature of this solution in my experience, is that the available reporting is quite accurate."
"It greatly assists small and medium-sized businesses in using the ITSM, alerting, and monitoring features."
"The multi-tenant architecture capability of OpsRamp has helped me streamline and improve the processes within my organization."
"Most features work fine."
 

Cons

"This solution could be improved by offering monitoring for all devices and not only Huawei 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."
"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 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 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."
"OpsRamp had shortcomings associated with its network capabilities."
"What's lacking in OpsRamp is process automation, and if there is, I wish there could be more of it, other than just spikes, or it would be better if the alerts can be generated based on different matrices. That option is absent in OpsRamp at the moment, and it would be valuable if that could be provided in the solution, especially if there's any kind of security issue in the VM."
"Currently, it performs infrastructure monitoring but has limited capability in application monitoring, which needs improvement."
"I would like to see two things. The first is a self-service portal for the cloud, any cloud deployments, and the second is maturity validation towards ITSM, internalizing OpsRamp TSM. As a result, instead of integrating with more mature tools similar to ServiceNow, people will use OpsRamp."
"We would like this solution to be developed into a full CMP tool, so that we are able to use a single product for all of our cloud management needs."
"Automation is currently quite complex and needs to be improved."
"The function to search any particular device within this solution needs to be improved. Currently, the solution develops a lag when a search, or a comparison, is being carried out."
"An area of improvement would be application monitoring."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution’s pricing is reasonable."
"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."
"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."
"I don't have any idea about the licensing cost for OpsRamp, but I just know that its pricing is based on the resource count for each tenant."
"There is an annual licensing fee to use OpsRamp."
"You pay it for a year and you'll have full access to the entire platform, not only for monitoring and alerting, you will have access to the entire platform, and whatever technology they develop will be made available to you."
"OpsRamp is a cost-effective solution."
