Featured Reviews

Michael Wenn - PeerSpot reviewer
CEO / Co-Founder at Aiops ltd
Automated incident workflows have reduced alert noise and now improve response efficiency
In my opinion, the best feature of BigPanda is its speed in terms of deployment. It has very strong integration with all of the major platforms and workflows that organizations need. The biggest customers are enterprises like HSBC and Barclays. Implementing something effective for them that dramatically reduces meantime to repair and the number of incidents is substantially difficult, as projects can often extend three years with very small results. BigPanda is different; it is a tool relied on by many enterprises, fitting over existing toolsets rather than trying to replace them, which makes it non-competitive to many existing alerts and monitoring tools. It enhances existing systems to provide actionable intelligence for business solutions.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The main thing that we like about BigPanda is the user interface."
"Easy integration - We've had challenges in the past integrating all of our various monitoring sources and tools into one central system. BigPanda, with the integrations that it already has, as well as offering webhook/REST API, has made it very easy for us to plug everything in."
"The features of BigPanda that have most improved my incident response times include AIOps, correlation pieces, and grouping, which is a big win for us."
"BigPanda is great in that it notifies us of problems as well as where they were triggered."
"I rate BigPanda nine out of ten."
"BigPanda is an endpoint protection solution against ransomware."
"The program is very stable."
"The event correlation is really good and it is able to reduce the noise. It is a good tool for anomaly detection."
"One of the most beneficial features of Huawei eSight is its simplicity and ease of use."
"Since we have a central monitoring system, we can proactively monitor those devices, easily capture any abnormalities before major downtime, and quickly address the issues before they become a bigger problem in the future."
"The solution's most valuable dashboard features include monitoring storage, resource availability, and hardware alarms."
"The most important features are alarm management and the visualization of the health of our network devices."
"We use this solution to monitor our sales."
"The product is stable."
"Technical support is good from Huawei."
"I like the real-time location monitor or RTLS feature. It is similar to the monitoring feature in Cisco Prime."
 

Cons

"BigPanda can improve the correlations. We didn't see any big value."
"The UI for this solution could be improved. It is very hard to find what you are looking for."
"In terms of product stability, I can rate it around nine. It is quite good, though I would not rate it a full ten because every time there is a new feature, I have to go through documents or contact support."
"BigPanda could improve by syncing its threshold settings with Dynatrace to align with users' familiarity."
"BigPanda attempts a little of everything and fails at most; the AI, in particular, was worthless, and the visualization is primitive and not configurable."
"We'd like to see additional dashboard features included as part of the solution."
"Logic Monitor has a slightly different and better version of agentic AI."
"BigPanda attempts a little of everything and fails at most."
"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."
"Technical support for the solution is not so good."
"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."
"Huawei eSight should work on the option to have the email notification working on Office 365 Exchange."
"The price is very expensive."
"The variety of license types should be made simpler as, at present, it is complex."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"They were great to work with on pricing/licensing. Given we are a high-growth company, we needed a flexible site license."
"The price of BigPanda is in the middle compared to other solutions."
"BigPanda is cheaper than the competitors."
"We pay $200,000 USD per year."
"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 solution’s pricing is reasonable."
"The price is very 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."
