Huawei eSight Reviews

We deployed Huawei eSight as a monitoring tool for monitoring switches and access points.

Since we have a central monitoring system, we can proactively monitor those devices. Before it experiences major downtime, we can easily capture any abnormalities, and we can quickly address the issues before they became a bigger problem in the future. You don't have to go to a specific location to configure anything. All management will be done through eSight.

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.

In my experience with eSight, I can tell you that you will experience a number of alerts that can be stressful to the administrator monitoring plenty of devices. They can simplify that part. 

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. 

I have been dealing with Huawei eSight since 2016.

Huawei eSight is stable.

Huawei eSight is scalable.

Based on my experience, a long time ago, technical support wasn't so good. But through the years, they have improved their technical support.

The initial setup is straightforward if the installation goes quite smoothly. But if you encounter errors, you will encounter more complexity in the system. But Huawei offers tech support that can support you with that issue.

Pricing depends on the competition. If your competitor is like Cisco, then Huawei is much more competitive when it comes to pricing.

I would advise new users to follow the installation manual provided on the Huawei website. All the details and steps are given there, including what steps to take if you encounter an error.

On a scale from one to ten, I would give Huawei eSight an eight.

We primarily use the solution for network management.

The most important features are alarm management and the visualization of the health of our network 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 could offer better integration with other products.

I wouldn't say the stability is excellent. It's okay.

The solution is scalable.

Technical support for the solution is not so good.

Our company used a Cisco Management System a long time ago. Our organization switched to using Huawei products and network devices and in general moved away from Cisco.

The initial setup was not straightforward. It was a bit complex.

I handled the implementation myself.

We use the on-premises deployment model. We're a Huawei partner.

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.
