1. Is anyone using NOM that can give feedback on its value as a
reporting tool?

It's okay at what it does - a short term Operations Manager.  It's essentially an admin console with a bit more intelligence.  It has no value as a long-term reporting tool and is not positioned as such.

If you're looking for very short-term trending, volumes, and issuing traps/emails on failures (or even tape mounts), then it's worth it.  Other than the platform to put it on, it doesn't cost you anything so go ahead and play with it.

We're using NOM for some short-term stuff and Aptare StorageConsole for long-term stuff.  The two products are complementary.
