RogueSpear Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 Fluke OptiView is the best I've ever used. Just in case you're not totally made of money, SolarWinds EE has always served me well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tain Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 How capable is OptiView on its own? Doesn't it do its best when you buy all of the asoociated hardware?Has anyone tried HP OmniView? It looks interesting but I don't see much hands-on reporting of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogueSpear Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 So long as you have SNMP properly configured on all of your networking hardware, OptiView can pretty much do anything. I believe they now have software agents you can push to servers for data collection. But for all of the bells and whistles you'd really want their tablet device that is seriously unlike anything I've used before. Last I checked it retails for around $25,000. I'll take two Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
