Pros
"Just one solution can handle thousands of users... So, it is a very convenient tool to use.""The analytics are a great feature.""The most impressive thing about Citrix ADM is that we don't encounter latency.""The most valuable features are for the ADMs and the overall monitoring environment.""We use the product for load balancing and as a reverse proxy solution.""An essential component is the Director, which provides detailed insights into sessions, including identifying session failures, connection issues, user lockouts, etc. It presents a list of problems to address, enabling you to click on them and resolve them efficiently.""Content filtering, security layer, and application customization features are the most valuable.""We like the periodic upgrades and backups, also made via ADMs, and it makes our environment much more robust and reliable."

"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.""eSight allows me to monitor and solve any problem in the backbone and any switch in real-time.""The most important features are alarm management and the visualization of the health of our network devices.""We use Huawei eSight to monitor devices like Wi-Fi controllers, LAN switches, and routers.""The product is stable.""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."

Cons
"Some features of Citrix ADM are available on the cloud, which could really be helpful if they were available on an on-premise version.""When a new version comes out, sometimes, my existing configuration gets wiped out. They should work on this so that my existing configuration doesn't get impacted with an upgrade to a newer version. There could also reduce frequent firmware upgrade activities and have a stable version so that once we upgrade it, we don't have to upgrade it for two to three years.""The tool's pricing is a pain point since we have many cheaper alternatives.""I would like to see the virtual and desktop license included in the pricing.""The interface could be improved, some customers struggle with that.""Citrix is more expensive than Horizon.""Citrix ADM needs to improve on its additional features and reduce the communication ports.""They need to make the solution a little more familiar with easy study guides, learning videos, etc."

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