RE: [nv-l] NetView vs. OpenView

Well,
the decision needed to be made two months ago when funds were available.
At that time it was going to cost us around $75k for a second Netview license
for Solaris with 8k interfaces. We purchased Openview NNM with unlimited
nodes for $14k... we made the choice because of available resources at the
time.
Hmmm....That is surprising, with the new license
structure NetView should have been an extremely inexpensive solution for you. If
you purchase TEC (at a very small minimum), you get unlimited use of NetView for
no additional cost. And of course you then have the option of using TEC as well
for additional event management capabilities.

Well, I
hate to chime in on this because it probably won't be very popular with the
group, but...
We currently are running Netview, but we just purchased
OpenView... Reason?
Cost... As simple as that. We needed an extra license
for Netview and the cost was based on how many interfaces we wanted to
manage. After reviewing this, it was to cost prohibitive. Openview had a
enterprise license that covered as many nodes, interfaces and devices we
needed to manage. After 3 years of use, I'm somewhat comfortable with
Netview, but it really came down to available resources... Openview was less
than half the cost, we really didn't have a choice. They both worked about
the same... It was a hard decision to make, but we just couldn't afford to
lay out what Netview wanted for an additional license during these economic
times.

Can you elaborate on these
differences?

I'm curious how it compares now that
Tivoli has released the IBM Tivoli Switch Analyzer product.
