Title: RE: [WhatsUp Forum] What'sUp Gold Pro

I have been evaluating a copy of Whatsup Pro that was given out at a recent Ipswitch Seminar, and everything in the product is great with the exception of one problem, which for us will be an issue of staying with the current Whatsup Gold or move to another product.    In Whatsup Gold, you had the option when creating a user to give them Web Access, you could decide what maps to give them access to.  That feature is no longer available and from what I hear it may be included in the next update but who knows when.  This means that if a tech is assigned to a certain department, he or she would have to be given full access to all the maps or access to none, no middle ground.  This definitely is a tremendous disappointment, enough to cause us to start looking elsewhere.   In my option I read that Ipswitch will be coming out with an Enterprise Edition of Whatsup, which leads me to believe that the feature will be in that version and thus forcing up to upgrade to get a feature that was in WUG.  It is hard to believe that that this feature was accidentally overlooked.   I hope that Ipswitch is reading this and will do something about it before releasing the product.   Norman Labrosse Systems Engineer From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Anthony Franklin Sent: Wednesday, October 27, 2004 3:50 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [WhatsUp Forum] What'sUp Gold Pro I agree with Jeff Cook.    Now that we are voicing our concerns... I am sure Ipswitch is listening, as I believe they are always.   Remember, we are being offered a new product, and the new product is as changable as any package.    I believe the new product will be awesome and the best What's Up package to date, and will offer advantages over the older packages that have done their jobs well.  The day a magic wan arrives at our sites, we will have bigger concerns...a need for us.   So, Let's keep it positive and constructive.  -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] on behalf of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wed 10/27/2004 2:55 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: Subject: RE: [WhatsUp Forum] What'sUp Gold Pro We could have saved lots of internet traffic and time reading all these snippets if they had just posted all of these details to the website.
