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."By moving to Datadog, we did not need to manage our own monitoring infrastructure anymore."
"The infrastructure monitoring capabilities are really valuable. You can just log on and see everything that is happening within an IT environment."
"I like that you can build out a dashboard pretty quickly. There are some things that come out of the box that you don't really need to do, which is great because they're default settings."
"I really enjoy the RUM monitoring features of Datadog. It allows us to monitor user behavior in a way we couldn't before."
"We integrate our application logs. It is great to be able to tie our metrics and our traces together."
"Their interface is probably one of the easiest things to use because it lets non-developers and non-engineers quickly get access to metrics and pull business value out of them. We could put together dashboards and give it to people who are non-technical, then they can see the state of the world."
"The solution has improved the organization by providing good insights into app performance and offering good dashboards."
"The application performance monitoring is pretty good."
"The product is stable."
"The most important features are alarm management and the visualization of the health of our network devices."
"eSight allows me to monitor and solve any problem in the backbone and any switch in real-time."
"We can scale the solution."
"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."
"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."
"We use Huawei eSight to monitor devices like Wi-Fi controllers, LAN switches, and routers."
"The documentation could be improved regarding setting up the agent properly and debugging."
"The installation is easy for me. However, if you are new to this solution it might not be so easy."
"Could be a little more user friendly."
"There is occasional UI slowness and bugs."
"To be very fair, I haven't had enough experience with Datadog to pick out improvements."
"It can be overwhelming for new people as it has a lot of features."
"It does not have the best interface."
"We need a lot of modules since we collect all data logs from all operating systems."
"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."
"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."
"It is not a very flexible product."
"This solution could be improved by offering monitoring for all devices and not only Huawei devices."
"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."
"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."
"Something that could be improved is the lack of integration with Cisco switches. In the next release, I would like to see better reporting."
