Enterprise Network Management Systems?

Posted by Cliff on from the prime-time-applications dept.

Luke A. Kanies asks: "Does anyone have any experience with any enterprise-level NMSs? I need to implement one at a relatively large DSL provider in the next couple of months, and I can only find marketing materials so far. Has anyone used netcool, COMMAND/POST, or OpenMaster? Netcool looks like the best, but I would like some real-world stories before I try to roll one of these out. "

    I have delt with command post in the past.. IMHO
    it works good for monitoring unix systems if you
    write enough custom scripts but beyond that it sucks.

  2. Netcool by Geotrash · · Score: 1

    My company (not really mine, I work there) does Netcool consulting and integrations with other products. Netcool is indeed very robust with a well established clientele. Also check out Peregrine Systems' latest offerings at www.peregrine.com. Their Infratools discovery and InfraCenter asset management solutions offer incredible value and functionality out of the box. I have seen their discovery tools in operation, and they are perhaps the best on the market. A very big plus is that Peregrine has just announced support for Linux across their entire product lineup.

    ...is emminent...at least that's what we've been told.

    Not sure if it will be the next "point" release or 4.0
