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.

Significant enhancement in operations with powerful discovery and analytics, yet pricing structure poses challenges
ServiceNow IT Operations Management provides out-of-the-box dashboards. Along with the dashboard, it also provides the Operations Workspace, which is very useful for operations teams. There is a functionality called Performance Analytics, which we are also using to develop some dashboards for the senior leadership and operations team where they can perform trend analysis of alerts and events happening across the infrastructure and application landscape. These dashboards are really useful here. ServiceNow IT Operations Management's biggest plus point is that it is a platform. ITOM is just one module that ServiceNow IT Operations Management offers, but they provide seamless integration of ITOM with their other modules such as ITSM, where we can leverage the AIs for discovery, perform impact analysis, which essentially helps to enhance the overall IT operations and reduce the downtime and MTTR.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We use this solution to monitor our sales."
"The most important features are alarm management and the visualization of the health of our network devices."
"The product is stable."
"One of the most beneficial features of Huawei eSight is its simplicity and ease of use."
"We use Huawei eSight to monitor devices like Wi-Fi controllers, LAN switches, and routers."
"Huawei eSight provides businesses with monitoring capabilities of network devices across your network."
"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."
"Provides everything in one solution."
"It is easy to use and simple to learn."
"The solution is easy to use and has great orchestration and automation capabilities."
"It includes a valuable feature called Discovery, that aids in application portfolio management, enabling visibility into IT infrastructure from top to bottom."
"Our ROI since implementing ServiceNow ITOM has been significant."
"The solution allows you to subscribe to the all required ITSM modules, asset discovery and service mapping on a single platform, its guided setup provides easy implementation process and I found these features most valuable."
"It is emerging as a holistic solution for enterprise service management."
"The dashboard maintenance is very good, and the tool doesn't get stuck."
 

Cons

"This solution could be improved by offering monitoring for all devices and not only Huawei devices."
"In my experience with eSight, I can tell you that you will experience a number of alerts that can be stressful to the administrator monitoring plenty of devices."
"It is not a very flexible product. We cannot change much from our side."
"When I implemented this Huawei solution, I faced some limitations in particular areas like wireless scanning."
"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 price could be less costly."
"Technical support for the solution is not so good."
"The variety of license types should be made simpler as, at present, it is complex."
"ServiceNow IT Operations Management is not very affordable. It is affordable for organizations with a minimum of 5,000 users plus."
"The out-of-the-box reporting feature has room for the improvement, it can be make more user friendly as other tools."
"At times, it got cumbersome from the project management perspective."
"We are facing difficulties with service mapping of CIs from the end users, and are seeking help from third-party vendors."
"There is room for improvement in the stability of ServiceNow."
"The solution's licensing model is a bit complicated. It should be simple and easy for people to understand."
"The vendor support rates between five to six because it takes a lot of time to get issues resolved, whether minor or major. For minor issues, the team takes a month's time to provide a fix."
"In providing for customers, I think that the cost of ServiceNow is quite high."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 solution’s pricing is reasonable."
"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."
"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."
"It is expensive. It is around 10 Euros per server per month."
"It has different subscription models."
"There are additional costs, you have to pay more for everything."
"I would rate the product's pricing a five out of ten since there are vendors who are cheaper."
"The solution is costly compared to the products offered by its competitors."
"The solution offers yearly licenses and a subscription model for add-on features."
"It is moderately expensive. The pricing itself and the licensing options are depending on the model and the customization."
"ServiceNow IT Operations Management is a costly solution. I'd rate the price at ten, on a scale from one to ten with one being the lowest and ten being the highest price. Some clients do have a problem with the price, but most find that the solution is worth the cost."
