We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The product is stable.""We use Huawei eSight to monitor devices like Wi-Fi controllers, LAN switches, and routers.""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.""We can scale the solution.""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.""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."

"The product retains a lot of log data for subsequent analysis.""The Add data feature lets you gather any type of log and easily analyze it.""It is very easy to monitor multiple cloud environments. It's like a single pane of glass for us. We can use it to monitor our on-prem and both of our cloud environments as opposed to having different tools for each environment. It makes it all come together in one tool.""The initial setup was straightforward. We didn't find it to be too complex.""Great monitoring of network devices.""It is a great resource for us because we have so many different data sources and to be able to aggregate that and put it through a concise dashboard or an alert really helps.""I find the monitoring console very helpful. With one click, I can see how we are performing, and at the same time, I can see what data is flowing.""The feature I find most valuable, is the data integration."

Cons
"Something that could be improved is the lack of integration with Cisco switches. In the next release, I would like to see better reporting.""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 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.""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.""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 price could be less costly.""It is not a very flexible product."

More Huawei eSight Cons →

"The solution should have more sensors regarding fiber intelligence for security measures.""The clustering part of indexes can be more refined.""The cost needs to be re-examined. It's extremely expensive to run. It's also expensive to expand. That's the number one complaint all of my customers have when it comes to Splunk. It's way too expensive compared to other solutions.""Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring's data analytics can be improved by including suggestions for various types of continuous monitoring.""I would like to see an improvement and some innovation in the customer interface.""There is a lot of room for improvement with the automation.""The product collects a lot of data but it does not assure that it collects all of it.""It's a bit difficult to use. It takes some time to get into it and to get it to do what you would like it to do. It is not straightforward to use it."
