We're using it for polling about 2000 snmp devices and we've been using it since Spectrum 6 or so. Most of the polling issues have been worked out pretty well, but there are still a few gotchas. Devices with more than one IP address can trigger a false alarm for duplicate IPs with the same snmp v3 engine ID when the polling IP changes, for instance, but there's a fix for that scheduled in h07 or 9.2.2. Setting up credentials, discovering devices, changing credentials on devices is all pretty straightforward. If it's not too late, don't manually configure engine IDs on your network devices. You will get duplicates and misconfigurations, it will be a pain. Let the devices autoconfigure. Did you have any specific questions?
