We are using EBA/DPA We had a custom report running on EBA that didn't
work on DPA, so we are trying to get that worked out before we upgrade.
(DPA is being run in a test environment)
We've tested Aptare and Servergraph as well, and EMC's product fits our
particular environment better than the others. The main thing we do that
the others have trouble with is that we have multiple nodes per server and
the others didn't handle this in the way that I wanted it. They just
handle them differently, not better or worse. You should evaluate this
for yourself.
My main problem with DPA is that there doesn't seem to be any advanced
documentation or training if you wanted to do anything above basic
reporting customization.
The Professional Services is the only way to do any advanced
customization. You could muddle around and figure out quite a bit by
yourself, but I wish there was some good documentation.
If you do purchase this, make sure and include a few days of PS and have a
list of the custom reports you want.
Regards,
Shawn

[ADSM-L] Anyone using DPA?
I know this has been asked before (and not answered), but is there anyone
out there using DPA from EMC? Has anyone given it a close look?
