Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It's a very complete product with a lot of functionality.""The most useful feature is infrastructure monitoring including switches and servers.""The most valuable feature is the interface and its ease of use.""One of the notable advantages is its ability to provide quick responses, especially in critical situations."

"We can scale the solution.""Huawei eSight provides businesses with monitoring capabilities of network devices across your network.""We use Huawei eSight to monitor devices like Wi-Fi controllers, LAN switches, and routers.""The most important features are alarm management and the visualization of the health of our network devices.""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.""eSight allows me to monitor and solve any problem in the backbone and any switch in real-time.""I like the real-time location monitor or RTLS feature. It is similar to the monitoring feature in Cisco Prime."

Cons
"HPE Intelligent Management Center is a bit slow.""One notable deficiency is the lack of online support for the product.""The integration with other network devices needs improvement.""I would like to see additional modules included."

More HPE Intelligent Management Center Cons →

"It is not a very flexible product.""The price could be less costly.""This solution could be improved by offering monitoring for all devices and not only Huawei 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.""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.""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."

  • More HPE Intelligent Management Center 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 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."
