SNMP product comparison time: Product name Company Name ------------ ------------ Dual Manager Netlabs Netmon III SNMP Research LAN Systems 9100 NMC Hughes OverVIEW Proteon NCC Unisys NMS cisco WIN/MGT Wollongong XNETMON III SNMP Research Has anyone done an in-depth comparison of the various software products that run as X-applications and are generally supported on a Sun? Has any magazine done any sort of comparative analysis on this new market segment? Please save me from having to create yet another stupid scorecard! Thanks, Hank

The second version of the SNMP product guide has just been published by McGraw Hill's Datapro Research. This guide covers all of the SNMP NMSs which were on the market as of a few weeks ago. Contact Jill Huntington-Lee at 1 (800) 328-2776 extension 2444. Rumor has it that copies of this report will be distributed free of charge at the Datapro booth during INTEROP 90. L. Michael Sabo

Well, a few, but nothing that makes me satisfied. (Which means I'll have to try a couple myself, I think). Anyway, you are missing a few. DEC mcc Digital (VMS and Ultrix) Sunnet Manager Sun Openview HP (PC-based) Something? Vitalink ( I think it's a repackaged HP product ) What I am missing is configuration informations, such as which of these products can use imported MIBs. I have been reading the Hughes manual, and as far as I can tell that one won't. A scorecard maybe is a good idea. What should be in it ?

I am in need of a product comparison between various SNMP management products. I am aware of the following products: Product name Company Name ------------ ------------ ACS4800 NMS ACC Dual Manager Netlabs Netmon III SNMP Research LAN Systems 9100 NMC Hughes LANCE/NMS Micro Technology OverVIEW Proteon NCC Unisys NetCentral cisco SNMP Tools FTP Software SNMP Nysernet SunNet Manager Sun Watchtower Intercon Systems WIN/MGT Wollongong XNETMON III SNMP Research I have heard that Datapro has recently conducted a comparison - does anyone know where I can buy that study? Any other comparisons available? My personal checklist includes the following points (leaving off the more common ones): - able to run on a b/w X-terminal - able to connect via 5-6 X-windows sessions to the SNMP management system so that more than one person can manage the network - able to click on a network icon and telnet over immediately to that box - able to generate statistical reports based on IP port divisions These requirements are in addition to the standard SNMP features one would expect from an SNMP package. Thanks, Hank

Yes, Datapro has completed a study of SNMP-based management stations and will soon release a report on SNMP-based agent. The SNMP manager report is often given away free of charge. Contact Jill Huntington-Lee at (800) DATAPRO ex 2444. L. Michael Sabo
