Herman,
I think you should look on the differences between NetView and NetReality.
The NetReality solution is focused on WAN, especially on Bandwidth
Management, Policy-Management etc. I have not all the details of this
product since I only read their website. But if you have also to manage a
LAN-Environment, if you have to provide a single central
Networkmanagement-Map/View to many users, if you want to provide all your
network status events/root cause events in a heterogenous environment, if
you want to provide all this functions with a tool, which is easy to
configure and - thats the most important point for me - which is open for
user-modifications / addons - then you should use netview.
I think it's not the question of Netview OR NetReality, it's the question of
NetView AND NetReality integrated (like NetReality and HP/OV).
But of course your decision depends on your organisation and your network.
Back to your question: we have netview as the main platform, concord eHealth
for performance management, vital suite only for problem management.
Ciscoworks is not suitable for a heterogenous network, so we are looking for
a vendor-independent solution as an add-on to netview for layer-2 topology.

Betreff: [nv-l] Netview Justification Part II
Can I get some feedback as to what other tools you use for Network
Management besides Netview? Reason I ask is that we have Cisco Works, and
Vitalnet, Vitalsuite, and management is considering bringing in Net Reality,
which I believe they think would be better solution than Netview.
I was hoping to get more feedback from you guys, I'm just getting started in
Network Management. I was using Netview for NT, and recently got an RS6000
and installed Netview 7.1.2, so I really haven't had much of a chance to use
it to make an educated evaluation of the AIX version.
So, this is my last request guys, can you tell me how Netview is helping
manage your network (AIX)!
Thanks again,
Herman Caballero
