Hi,

I have been trying out Zenoss for a little while now and have been comparing  
it with a few competing products (Centreo/Nagios, Groundwork etc).

I really like the look and feel to Zenoss but unfortunately I dont think it can 
do what we are looking for.

We (and upstart NOC type company) will be offering services to multiple 
clients, each of which will have a single user. What we require from our NMS is 
that we can configure, for example, 50 clients each of which having 50 or so 
devices.

We need to keep each client completely separated from the other yet only run 
one instance of the Zenoss software. We will most likely be purchasing  Zenoss 
Enterprise or the equivalent but the above requirement is a must.

I have been playing with Zenoss and trying to replicate what I have mentioned 
above by creating "organizers" in various ways, yet it seems very restrictive 
to do this and there is some information leakage between the clients (i.e even 
though I restricted a certain user by only allowing them to view a certain 
"Group", that user still saw information from other groups in certain cases).

You may think of as an ISP or similar where our clients will have duplicated IP 
addressing schemes which we need to monitor through separated VPN's.

We can do this magic at the routers (NAT etc) but there is obviously no way in 
Zenoss to store two devices (say 10.1.1.1) for two different users....or is 
there? Each client will need to log on to a "web portal" of sorts and access 
information ONLY pertinent to them.

If Zenoss cannot do this, would you be kind enough to recommend one that can?

Thanks in advance, and thanks for an awesome product.

btw- the above was tested on 2.0.3)
