We are in the process of evaluating Network Monitor/Management packages.
I missed most of the previous discussion.
We have looked at/read glossies from Cisco, Cabletron, Excelan (Novell),
Silicon Graphics, ACC, and Micro Technologies (inhouse demo, high
pressure salesman). I've only read a short article about the HP stuff.
MT is the only one we have taken an in-depth look at, but we are
working on others.
Three Questions:
1) anybody out there dealt with or have installed and operating any of
these packages? how was the sales and technical staff? MT seems like
they will eventually have a good product, but the level of the
visible technical personnel is less than what I would expect of a
major player in this game.
2) are the respective companies product groups reading this stuff?
I would like to hear from you (I've already heard from two).
3) has anyone considered piecing one entity from one vendor with another?
Direct replys appreciated, I will post a summary.
Thanks,
Mike
