We have been using Aptare for about 5 years now and it has worked very 
well.  Their support is excellent.
I agree, that even with NOM, we will want to keep Aptare for historical 
purposes.

We use Aptare for our SOX reports.  Without it collecting that information 
would be very painful.

Yup - works like a charm.  I have used Aptare's Storage Console software 
for several years and have absolutely no reason to migrate to a "free" 
NOM.  I don't see NOM being a full-fledged reporting packages - that's 
the *extremely* expensive Backup Reporter, but more of an "operations 
manager" which is, after all, it's title.  You'll have some operational 
control with NOM that you won't have with Storage Console (e.g. down and 
up tape drives) but you'll give up reporting functionality to get it. 
Nothing, of course, stops you from running both.  NOM is free so go 
ahead and try it out.  Don't forget that it does require a separate 
server though - don't even think about it installing it on your master 
server.

I've heard that NOM had a lot of bugs in its early releases, and it's 
only been out since 6.0.  With MP4, it's actually supposed to work. 
Storage Console has a long track record and I trust it to keep my 
history intact.
