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.

Provides firmware compliance and the ability to connect to iPO

I've been involved in various upgrades. It's pretty easy to set up with vCenter. We just push out an appliance template in vCenter. We run ours on virtual servers. Deployment can be done by just one person. The number of people needed for maintenance will depend on your server inventory. If you have more than 100 servers, you will need three to five people. If you have 500 to 1,000 servers, you will need a team of 10 to 20 people.

Desktop Analyst at Transnet

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 most valuable features of HPE OneView are environment monitoring, the ease of firmware upgrade, and the ability to manage all the servers and the infrastructure from one team."

"Easy to see if all my servers are on correct firmware levels, with SPP packaging."

"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."

"Just the ability to provision the servers with storage and network everything within one interface, not having to go into multiple interfaces to provision those pieces."

"We lose less time managing the machines."

"We cannot function without this solution. "

"We have the dashboard up on a big screen, and you can actually see when things go wrong or if there are any faults with any of the servers. The backup is automated as well, so the appliance is quite good."

"It's rather simple to use, and that's very important for us."

More HPE OneView pros

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

"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."

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

"The product is stable."

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

"We can scale the solution."

"The most important features are alarm management and the visualization of the health of our network devices."

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

More Huawei eSight pros

Cons

"It needs more reporting capabilities."

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

"HPE OneView should be able to cover more device models apart from ProLiant and Synergy."

"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."

"I have to chop it up into smaller parts, because I have an installation in Europe and it covers the whole world. That is not so good. They need to be more localized, so I am going to chop it up into smaller bits."

"There was a feature called HPE cloud manager, but now it is owned by Micro Focus. HPE should make a cloud optimizer again."

"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."

"I believe the prices of HPE OneView should be reduced, as it is quite expensive."

More HPE OneView cons

"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 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 price could be less costly."

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

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

"It is not a very flexible product."

More Huawei eSight cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 could lower the price."

"When it comes to the government, money is never an issue, so it was excellent in terms of the HPE OneView licensing cost. Hitachi was cheaper, but I'd rate HPE OneView cost-wise as eight out of ten."

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

"I am happy with the price."

"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."

"This license cost for OneView was $3,000 USD."

More HPE OneView pricing and cost advice

"The solution’s pricing is reasonable."

"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."

"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."

"I would rate this solution a nine out of ten for pricing. The pricing depends on which features you use and can become expensive."
