We performed a comparison between HPE OneView 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 gives us a view of all our servers, which we did not have before in real-time."
"We get templates, so it's speed to delivery for us. It's a big difference with the template features."
"The stability is very good. I have never had an issue with it over the three years that I have been using it."
"We lose less time managing the machines."
"The easy user interface was what I found most valuable in HPE OneView. For example, if I wanted to know the infrastructure status or I needed to send in any change commands, HPE OneView had simple buttons."
"Administration-wise it's going to be easier. More smooth and more flexible."
"Firmware compliance is one of the most valuable features."
"Have a single plane of glass across all of the server platforms."
"The most important features are alarm management and the visualization of the health of our network devices."
"The product is stable."
"We use Huawei eSight to monitor devices like Wi-Fi controllers, LAN switches, and routers."
"eSight allows me to monitor and solve any problem in the backbone and any switch in real-time."
"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."
"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."
"I would like to see support for things that aren't in the current generation. We have a lot of 7th and 8th generation hardware."
"Sometimes the interface can be a little confusing, sometimes the error messages can be very cryptic, as far as what's actually going on."
"HPE OneView should be able to cover more device models apart from ProLiant and Synergy."
"There was a feature called HPE cloud manager, but now it is owned by Micro Focus. HPE should make a cloud optimizer again."
"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."
"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."
"Integration could be improved. Sometimes OneView doesn't identify physical hardware."
"It needs more reporting capabilities."
"The price could be less costly."
"It is not a very flexible product."
"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."
"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 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."
"This solution could be improved by offering monitoring for all devices and not only Huawei devices."
