We performed a comparison between Huawei eSight and Zabbix 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."We use Huawei eSight to monitor devices like Wi-Fi controllers, LAN switches, and routers."
"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 can scale the solution."
"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."
"The product is stable."
"eSight allows me to monitor and solve any problem in the backbone and any switch in real-time."
"The solution's design has recently changed and it is visually pleasing with more color, for example, there is blue, black, and white."
"The most valuable features in Zabbix are those that help us overcome bottlenecks in CPU usage, as well as reduce memory delay. I know that we have only reached the tip of the iceberg of what Zabbix's features can do for us, and we have not used all of them yet."
"The pricing of the product is reasonable."
"The integration with third-party tools and the alerts are most valuable."
"It has good graphs of what is going on within the operating system."
"Every new asset placed in the environment can be automatically detected, predicting human failures."
"Zabbix is scalable."
"We are able to do problem determination on runaway processes."
"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."
"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."
"It is not a very flexible product."
"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."
"I had problems using Zabbix when working with SUSE Enterprise; many companies use SUSE."
"They should open an SSH session from the web interface."
"I would like to better be able to monitor Oracle processes."
"The APM monitoring has room for improvement, although I hear that the new 5.2 version has some improvements in that area, and I'd like to give that a go. I would like to see a few more templates out there for different styles of monitoring. I use the Grafana interface for reporting. I would also like it to have an out-of-the-box ability to email reports. You can create reports, but to be able to email those reports would be really helpful. I've got users who are not interested in logging in and generating a report. They want it all pre-canned and sent to an email address. It would also be really handy if we could pin certain reports up onto platforms such as Teams or SharePoint. A GUI for the proxy server would be cool to have for debugging purposes and for the support teams to have a look at, but I don't know whether that's really feasible to do. I get enough from the log files themselves."
"Zabbix isn't a great tool for cloud-specific monitoring - its connection to public clouds needs to be improved. Other areas for improvement would be the lack of dashboards and integrations."
"If Zabbix had a better dashboard then it would be nice."
"The dashboard and the graph section could be a little bit more professional."
"The networking monitor is not too easy to work with."
Huawei eSight is ranked 53rd in IT Infrastructure Monitoring with 8 reviews while Zabbix is ranked 1st in IT Infrastructure Monitoring with 101 reviews. Huawei eSight is rated 6.8, while Zabbix is rated 8.2. The top reviewer of Huawei eSight writes "Useful RTLS feature and good support but needs automation options and better wireless reporting". On the other hand, the top reviewer of Zabbix writes "Allows any number of customizations but lacks functionality for finding root causes". Huawei eSight is most compared with Cisco DNA Center, Cisco Prime, PRTG Network Monitor, SolarWinds NPM and HPE Intelligent Management Center, whereas Zabbix is most compared with Centreon, Checkmk, SolarWinds NPM, Nagios Core and Nagios XI.
