There appears to be a difference of opinion here, particularly on the
reporting aspect of WUP. I understood that the WUP reporting was supposed
to be greatly improved with more customization and detailed reports made
available to us. Reading the dozen or so responses on the WUP performance
this morning, I see that Phil in Maine says that WUP doesn't carry over the
same reporting abilities as WUG, and I know that Phil was very experienced
in the WUG reports, creating his own customized reports. Plain and simple,
is the WUP reporting capability truly more customizable and detailed out of
the box, or does it still require a good dose of programming knowledge
(like utilizing Crystal Reports) to gather only the specific data that you
want to see in a report?

Ditto here too, WUG will remain at my company. WUP doesn't carry over and
provide the same reporting abilities, is MUCH slower even on newer
hardware.
WUG integrate wonderfully with Denika from somix or straight MRTG if you
have
the time to configure it.
WUG is GOLD in my book.
