We performed a comparison between Datadog and Huawei eSight based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two IT Infrastructure Monitoring solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It is easy to navigate the menu and create tests."
"The solution has helped our organization with custom events to track specific cases."
"Datadog has made it much easier to have a central place for people to look for logs and made it much easier to notify them of any elevated error rates or failures."
"The network map is crucial in identifying bottlenecks and determining what needs more attention."
"I don't have to worry about upgrades with the AWS version."
"I like the amount of tooling and the number of solutions they sold with their monitoring. Datadog was highly intuitive to use."
"Its integration is most valuable because you can integrate it with various service providers such as AWS, .Net, etc."
"It has provided visibility with ease of implementation and allowed multiple teams to quickly onboard it."
"The most important features are alarm management and the visualization of the health of our network devices."
"Huawei eSight provides businesses with monitoring capabilities of network devices across your network."
"We can scale the solution."
"I like the real-time location monitor or RTLS feature. It is similar to the monitoring feature in Cisco Prime."
"eSight allows me to monitor and solve any problem in the backbone and any switch in real-time."
"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."
"The product is stable."
"We'd like Datadog to make the log storage cheaper."
"Once agents are connected to the Datadog portal, we should be able to upgrade them quickly."
"The ability to find what you are looking for when starting out could be improved."
"Managing dashboards as IaC is a bit hard to work out at times."
"I would like better navigability across pages."
"The Log Explorer could be better. I don't think it has log manipulation as Splunk does."
"We need more visibility into the error tracking dashboard."
"One area where I was really looking for improvement was the CSPM product line. I had really wanted to have team-level visibility for findings, since the team managing the resources has much more context and ability to resolve the issue, as the service owner. However, this has been added to the announcement in a recent keynote."
"It is not a very flexible product."
"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."
"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."
"It will be better if they can make the simple network topology part more presentable. It would also be better if they had API integration and integration with third-party devices."
"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 price could be less costly."
"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."
