We performed a comparison between Huawei eSight and Splunk APM based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, Fortinet, Broadcom and others in Network Management Applications."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 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."
"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."
"eSight allows me to monitor and solve any problem in the backbone and any switch in real-time."
"The features are pretty much ready out of the box."
"Splunk APM has helped us to standardize logging and monitoring procedures."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"The volume it handles is very good, including the number of metrics, the volume number of traces, and more."
"The most beneficial aspect of Slunk APM is the ATM, which is the map displaying the inbound and outbound relationships of the microservices, as well as the traffic between these dependencies. This feature provides us with valuable insights and helps us understand the interactions between different microservices."
"The most valuable features are troubleshooting and optimizing application performance."
"Detectors are a powerful feature."
"The solution's service map feature allows us to have a holistic overview and to see quickly where the issues are."
"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."
"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 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 price could be less costly."
"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."
"There are some predefined metrics.......we may want to create customized metrics."
"I've been using the Splunk query language, and it can be a bit time-consuming to set up the queries I need."
"The licensing model is expensive. We need to monitor the amount of data ingested because the cost is based on the data collected."
"It is essential for the monitoring tool to deliver quick response times when generating analytical reports, instead of prolonged delays."
"The monitoring of workloads when using SignalFx could be improved."
"They can improve the flow system and the keyword language. It has predefined keywords, but they can be improved."
"Splunk APM's performance could be improved - at the moment, it's very slow and takes forever to give me what I want."
"Primarily, the logs in Slunk APM can be challenging to navigate and comprehend, making it difficult to understand the details within each log. Compared to other tools like LogDNA, which are more intuitive in this aspect, the logs in Slunk APM can require more effort to understand."
