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.

"The solution's most valuable dashboard features include monitoring storage, resource availability, and hardware alarms."

Cons

"There are issues with cloud distribution of the servers, and it could be faster."

"ExtremeAnalytics could improve application control. The URL filtering is not working properly. We have had issues with the reports and heat maps not working as expected. We have been receiving download errors when attempting to retrieve the heat maps and reports."

"The solution's stability needs to be improved."

"It is not a very flexible product."

"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."

"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."

"Something that could be improved is the lack of integration with Cisco switches. In the next release, I would like to see better reporting."

"This solution could be improved by offering monitoring for all devices and not only Huawei 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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is an eight out of ten."

"The price of the solution is approximately $100 to $120 and is paid annually."

"The solution’s pricing is reasonable."

"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 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."

"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."
