Another difference is that we don't have DataCollector command plugins that run over SSH to collect information from every platform under the Sun out there. So far we're pretty good about linux boxes, darwin boxes, and we can even get some Solaris 8/9 information using SSH.

So if you're in a position (ahem Solaris 8/9) where SNMP is not an option (because the configuration is just too difficult to get working) you could try using the command plugins. They are tucked away in $ZENHOME/Products/DataCollectors/plugins/zenoss/cmd.

Well zenoss is primary created for snmp, so it takes little bit of extra work to get everything looking the same under ssh as it does under snmp. By using ssh you're securing data in transit but if your zenoss box gets compromised they have ssh access to all your machines. With SNMP your data will be in clear text but at least the most people can do (provided you only setup read access) is read the data themselves off the server and nothing else. Its really a case which is the bigger evil and usability.
