I use Servergraph here, and it's helped us a great deal. I did some customization on the Operations menus that allow us to check in and out DRM tapes. I think a good programmer could probably help design this a little better, but what we have works well at all three sites.
There are some minor issues, such as some of the graphs do not display for more than a few days under the health check area. But, if you drag your mouse across the blank areas the sub graph that pops up gives you the info you need. Regular users cannot change their TSM admin ID passwords without Servergraph Admin level access. They can change their servergraph password, but in sg you have to define your TSM server Admin ID and passwords, and if you change the TSM password you have to be granted admin rights in Servergraph to update your passwords there. Over all since putting it in we've saved enough money in cleaning up bad backups, reclaiming wasted space, and doing better forecasting to pay for the licenses and then some. I think it pretty much paid for itself the first year we had it in.
