Jeff,

Here are a few other resouces available to poke around with and ask questions:

Migrating to Netcool/Precision for IP Networks --Best Practices for
Migrating from IBM Tivoli NetView :
http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redpieces/abstracts/sg247375.html

The Netcool Users list - ask something here about Precision/IP and
you'll get more opinions and comments about how it works (or doesn't).
They usually don't hold back here at all!

Has anybody made the leap to NETCOOL PRECISION IP ?

I am looking for user input as to how the product compares to Netview.


Does the Layer2 discovery work?
Does it really understand the VLAN layout?
Can it do all the trap things that Netview can?
Is it overkill?

In the end is it worth it?

I know Netview is going away sooner or later.  So should I, or when do
I, make the quantum leap.

I also have to convince other people here at Princeton that the product
will do everything Netview does now, and specifically can it do the
layer-2 discovery correctly.



Thanks for any input.

PS;  If there is a better list to write to, please let me know.
