Jason,
We are a big user of Aptare at our shop. It has been a fantastic product and
one of the only software tools I have found that we were really able to use
"out of the box". It has already helped us be able to add features, solve
issues, and sell our management on new products in the 9 months since we have
been using. I have found that Aptare is also very willing to listen to
customer input to new feature sets. When we were looking for a monitoring tool
for our backup environment, I went to several newsgroups and Aptare seemed to
be what everyone was talking about. Now I know why. One demo of their product
and we were hooked. Good luck with your purchase.

Aptare has an agent that sits on each NetBackup master server. It receives
input whenever a job completes and immediately updates the Aptare database.
For running jobs it runs a bpdbjobs command on a regular basis (This is
tunable). I believe we have ours set to every 5 minutes. So although it is
not exactly real time, you can get it as close to real time as you want. There
are several other tunable processes that pull other information such as
drive/disk STU stats, tape volume information and job image catalog information.
It's a great product and really easy to use out of the box. If you want more
information email me direct. I would be willing to talk or email about any
other questions you have. monte at qualcomm.com

We're looking at possibly purchasing Aptare and are wondering if anybody has
used it before. It supposedly pulls data "real-time" from the environment, and
I'm curious as to how it accomplishes this.

Currently we have Bocada (http://www.bocada.com/index.php), a base install and
haven't really started going into it and actually customizing the application
to suit our needs.
Any input on Aptare would be appreciated. Thanks!
Jason
