OK, so it sounds like the NT version does not support many of the features that
make the Unix version better then OpenView.
I would prefer to stick with Unix, but I'm moving to a small start-up, and I
cant
really justify (or get) the extra money for what will be a very small (albeit
critical) network. (Less than 100 managed nodes.)
Does anyone have any insight comparing Openview NNM 6.1 on NT and Netview 5.2 on
NT? OpenView is cheaper, I think.
Any competitive analyses out there?
