Supports expert-level monitoring tasks but still requires improvements in usability and driver availability
Alluvio NetIM has significant room for improvement because the product is still on legacy systems. They need to improve their driver infrastructure. Their default driver needs to be developed. Other solutions have their own drivers, but I am not seeing that in this solution. They need to create a proper driver. For a product being sold to customers, it must have user-friendly features. Only an expert can utilize Alluvio NetIM effectively. I have been in the observability and monitoring space for the last ten years, and I am still facing issues with this solution. Working in professional services, when I encounter customers, they ask how this will be user-friendly, and honestly, it is not. Customers need proper training and proper certification to use this tool effectively. Even after training and certification, they can only utilize thirty to forty percent of the functionality. It takes one to two years for them to become proficient. A minimum of one year of experience is required before they can truly utilize this tool. Additionally, Alluvio NetIM lacks a default driver. Their application map does not work properly on the cloud. More Linux knowledge is required for troubleshooting. If someone is not an expert in Linux, they cannot use this tool effectively. There are many areas for improvement.

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.

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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 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."
"Pricing depends on the competition. If your competitor is like Cisco, then Huawei is much more competitive when it comes to pricing."
"The price is very expensive."
"The solution’s pricing is reasonable."
