Or you must have a BMC Patrol experience (expensive, hard to setup and absolutely inflexible)

We've chosen to implement BigBrother (Quest) which works fine in our mixed env.

 

BTW, Hello to everyone, I am new on the list ;o)

Well, we're going to be coming from Tivoli, so cost isn't so much a factor. Anything is easier to manage and costs less than Tivoli.

Forget MOM..Net IQ costs and arm and a leg and needs hours of extra consulting to get your out-of-the-box installation doing what you want it to do.

 

We evaluated both MOM and Net IQ as well as RoboMon (www.itheon.co.uk) and went for the latter. EXCELLENT support, second to none and the product does what it says it will and it only took 2 days to get it up and running. Its also significantly cheaper than the other 2.

 

Just my 2p

We're looking at NetIQ for monitoring our Windows/SQL stuff, as well as what it can do on Unix (Solaris, AIX). However, with Microsoft going head on into monitoring, should I be worried about the affect this will have on NetIQ in the short/long term? Which is a better product right now? Which has better cross-platform support?

 

We are a dominantly Windows in this department, with Unix in there as well.

 

Thank you for any info you may have.
