Executive SummaryUpdated on Oct 9, 2024

HPE OneView and Huawei eSight compete in the infrastructure management solutions category. HPE OneView seems to have the upper hand due to its extensive automation capabilities and broader feature set, while Huawei eSight excels in monitoring and ease of deployment.

Features: HPE OneView provides comprehensive automation and centralized management, significantly reducing errors and saving time. It offers single-pane management with robust integration capabilities and is noted for its valuable automation features. Huawei eSight is known for easy deployment and strong monitoring capabilities, especially for Huawei hardware. Its user-friendly dashboards enhance visibility and management.

Room for Improvement: HPE OneView users request better integration with non-HPE components, refined alert management, and enhancements in role-based access control. They also want faster profile deployment and support for more hardware. Huawei eSight could improve integration with third-party devices and develop more advanced automation. It needs a better reporting structure and simplified licensing model.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: HPE OneView's on-premises deployment is appreciated, but support experiences vary, with some reporting slow response times. Huawei eSight generally receives positive feedback for deployment and technical support, though some experience slower support and find the license model complex.

Pricing and ROI: HPE OneView is considered cost-effective despite some perceptions of high licensing costs, with users finding efficiencies and time savings justify the investment. Huawei eSight offers competitive pricing against rivals, with flexibility depending on network environments, and users find it reasonable. Both solutions offer ROI, focusing on ease of task execution and time savings for financial returns.

Efficient management and upgrades streamline complex setups

My main complaint is about the blades on the frames, which seem to have a lot of problems. We often have to call HPE for replacements, such as for memory. Constant issues arise, leading to frequent replacement of blade parts. Additionally, the upgrade process is lengthy, requiring careful planning as we cannot match ESXi versions without aligning OneView first, leading to delays.

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 remote support automatically logs service calls and support cases with HPE, which is really good."

"The most valuable features are the composable structure, infrastructure, and automation."

"We get templates, so it's speed to delivery for us. It's a big difference with the template features."

"By being able to deploy servers very quickly and rapidly, we can respond to any business requirement needed."

"I don't have to use CD-ROMs or anything like that to provision the servers."

"The OneView Global Dashboard is very user-friendly and it can be used for monitoring the power consumption and temperature of the data center and racks."

"The initial setup is easy."

"The solution's initial setup process was easy...The technical support is good...It is a stable product, and we will use it for a long time."

More HPE OneView pros

"Huawei eSight provides businesses with monitoring capabilities of network devices across your network."

"We can scale the solution."

"The product is stable."

"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."

"One of the most beneficial features of Huawei eSight is its simplicity and ease of use."

"I like the real-time location monitor or RTLS feature. It is similar to the monitoring feature in Cisco Prime."

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

"We use Huawei eSight to monitor devices like Wi-Fi controllers, LAN switches, and routers."

More Huawei eSight pros

Cons

"I saw, maybe three years ago or two years ago here, or in Barcelona, at the HPE Discover conference, a feature that you can update Clusterware with VMware. But the feature is still not live in production. Currently, you have to do all the firmware updates and then you have to do the VMware updates. So you have two reboots and it would be better if it was just one."

"We have a version 3 and a version 1.2, but the upgrade process from the 1.2 to the 3 is kind of an issue."

"Those features, coming in version 4, that we're looking for are the discovery, primarily. But I think the scope-based access control is of interest, although, we didn't see any directory integration, so that, in itself, seems like it's still limited."

"We've had issues, for example, with RAM."

"The main problem that we run into, as far as stability goes, is when something loses its profile. Sometimes it requires jumping through a number of "hoops" to really get it back."

"The network configuration part of HPE OneView needs improvement. The solution has way too many features, and there's a need for proper configuration indicators to be put in place."

"They can improve reporting and provide more customized reports. Currently, reporting is a bit limited. It can be complex to learn and manage for beginners. Because of my experience, I find it comfortable to manage, which might not be the case with beginners. It would be good if they can make it a little bit easier to understand. They can provide a more graphical view of connectivity and other things. Their technical support can also be improved."

"It's a little slow sometimes. Overall, I think it does what it's supposed to do. I think that as they evolve it, it'll get quicker."

More HPE OneView cons

"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."

"It is not a very flexible product."

"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."

"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."

"Huawei eSight should work on the option to have the email notification working on Office 365 Exchange."

"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 variety of license types should be made simpler as, at present, it is complex."

More Huawei eSight cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"HPE could lower the price."

"I am happy with the price."

"I think that the price of OneView is $500 USD per server, which is a little high."

"The solution is free to use, but if you want the management aspect you require a virtual machine such as C7000 or Synergy which require licenses."

"HPE had some other solutions, but they were actually quite expensive to buy. So, when OneView came along, it was kind of reasonable in terms of price for licenses, etc."

"Use it. It is free."

"I feel the product's price falls a bit on the higher side."

"Synergy does not require iLO licenses but servers and enclosures must be purchased."

More HPE OneView pricing and cost advice

"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 price is very expensive."

"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 solution’s pricing is reasonable."
