I haven't looked at OpManager too much, but for me one of the nice
things about stuff like Zenoss is the continuing community development
of Zenpacks. So you keep getting more functionality.
OpManager looks like it comes with a lot of stuff OOTB, whereas Zenoss
seems to come with less and then has Zenpacks or stuff you can add
yourself via templates.
It's unclear to me that OpManager is any easier to extend than Zenoss is.
Finally, I do think that Zenoss Inc are charging quite a bit for their
Enterprise product.

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.
