The battle continues??
Does anyone have or could point me in the direction of a document that
outlines the ?NetView vs. OpenView? pro?s/con?s list. Currently at this
client site we use NetView to monitor all hardware on 100+ aix servers and
in the beginning stages of rolling the networks into the equation. The
problem lying, in that the network group has been using OpenView for a few
years now and they are somewhat convinced NetView would not meet their
requirements (99% Cisco network devices). So far with absolute certainty, I
can only come up with 3 pts. why they should use NetView.
1. It is paid for (big one)
2. It is already integrated with our Tivoli/Remedy Ticketing system
3. They would not have to support the NetView product
Off course, these seem more like ?salesman? points, I would prefer to
provide them a technical capability list. Unfortunately I have not fully
explored the Network monitoring capabilities of NetView and I have only book
knowledge of OpenView, either way, I do not want to steer them wrong.
Thanks.
Eric
