I
have
used it but would question whether it "evaluates DC perf". I view it as a
troubleshooter, used if/when a DC shows signs of overload etc.
<Semantics, maybe :) >
I
would have preferred a tool which could show hypothetical bottlenecks as well
illustrate actual issues, when planning on designing a large AD rollout or
justifying an upgrade to the existing DC real estate.
e.g.
assuming the environment grows 10% year on year, can the DCs cope with the
future load in 3 or 5 years time? Using baseline data from a monitoring tool,
one could then simulate that future load and watch for bottlenecks in RAM,
CPU,
disk or network etc.
