PRTG Network Monitor and Huawei eSight compete in the network management solutions category. PRTG has a potential edge with its scalability and ease of setup, making it appealing for versatile environments.
Features: PRTG Network Monitor is acclaimed for its ease of setup and scalable monitoring capabilities, providing simple yet robust utility for effective network management. Key features include bandwidth usage visualization, intuitive interface, proactive alerts, and extensive sensor compatibility. Mobile app access enhances remote monitoring. Huawei eSight excels in managing Huawei devices on a single platform, offering efficient hardware management. It is particularly suitable for Huawei-centric environments, although it faces limitations with non-Huawei devices.
Room for Improvement: PRTG Network Monitor could improve map and dashboard flexibility and address licensing costs for smaller setups. Enhancing user-defined OS sensor customization and application monitoring would add value. Huawei eSight needs better compatibility with non-Huawei devices, enhanced automation similar to Cisco, and improved integration with third-party devices. Improved support documentation and customer service are also needed.
Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: PRTG Network Monitor offers flexible deployment options, including hybrid and cloud, with straightforward deployment and documentation. Users report varying experiences with technical support due to geographical time differences. Huawei eSight, focusing on on-premises setups, provides exhaustive help for Huawei systems but requires more expansive support for diverse environments.
Pricing and ROI: PRTG Network Monitor's pricing is competitive in simple setups but may escalate in complex environments. ROI improves through proactive management to reduce downtime. Huawei eSight offers cost-effective pricing in Huawei-centered environments, though licensing can be complex. It achieves beneficial ROI when fully leveraged within Huawei infrastructures.
Huawei's eSight is a unified software suite for planning, operating, and maintaining complex enterprise ICT infrastructure from global, converged networks and data centers to multimedia and video communications that includes the facilities necessary for delivering performance and IT services. eSight provides a platform that supports infrastructure and devices from third-party providers, to develop custom management applications and improves O&M efficiency.
PRTG Network Monitor runs on a Windows machine within your network, collecting various statistics from the machines, software, and devices which you designate. PRTG comes with an easy-to-use web interface with point-and-click configuration. You can easily share data from it with non-technical colleagues and customers, including via live graphs and custom reports. This will let you plan for network expansion, see what applications are using most of your connection, and make sure that no one is hogging the entire network just to torrent videos.
To monitor a large IT environment, it's important to be able to scale PRTG up. Paessler PRTG Enterprise Monitor includes all the proven capabilities of PRTG Network Monitor, which are enhanced by exclusive ITOps Board for a service-oriented, central overview of multiple PRTG servers.
