Hi
Im suprised how many cisco network management and monitoring tools cisco has
.... Alot of them just seem redundant to me
I wonder who uses all these Cisco management tools ? Ive only used one or two
of these tools below. In my experience all the companies i worked for, which
include SP and big enterprises, they all had third party monitoring tools,
with maybe some implementation of ciscoworks on the side.
Are all these management tools justified and feasible .Wouldnt it be better if
cisco had a modular management solution. so you only add the modules you need.
Its just unnecessary complication.
Also besides all the tools below, cisco also has a MARS (Monitoring, Analysis,
and Response System) appliance which probably does what some of the tools
below do, but on a seperate piece of tin instead of a server.
