According to the sales/tech reps it does everything Netview can do only
better. But Precision does not do Traps. That job is done by an Omnibus
probe.

Subject: [NV-L] Switch to NETCOOL PRECISION IP
Has anybody made the leap to NETCOOL PRECISION IP ?
I am looking for user input as to how the product compares to Netview.
Does the Layer2 discovery work?
Does it really understand the VLAN layout?
Can it do all the trap things that Netview can?
Is it overkill?
In the end is it worth it?
I know Netview is going away sooner or later. So should I, or when do
I, make the quantum leap.
I also have to convince other people here at Princeton that the product
will do everything Netview does now, and specifically can it do the
layer-2 discovery correctly.
Thanks for any input.
PS; If there is a better list to write to, please let me know.
