I'm a little curious if anyone has done a comparison of OpManager to Zenoss. 
This would be a comparison of the Zenoss Core (free) product vs. the pay for 
OpManager Premium.

So far here are my observations:

Zenoss Pros:
1. Free
2. Very flexible, re-writeable code.
3. Nagios Plugin Support

Zenoss Cons:
1. Very elementary reporting.
2. Very unintuitive UI.
3. Very steep learning curve, even with the documentation.
4. Confusing time issues with notifications.

OpManager Pros:
1. VERY intuitive UI
2. Awesome and polished reporting.
3. Fairly broad O/S support.
4. Not very much load on the host system.

OpManager Cons:
1. It costs money. However, not very much money.

Honestly, for my time, $3500 for OpManager is not alot of money compared to 
what it would costs for the comparable Zenoss Enterprise product. I feel Zenoss 
E. is way overpriced with things like OpManager out there.

Your input is appreciated, feel free to change my mind.

Tom
