Re: Network Monitoring

I used IBM Net tivoli and realy did not find it good. No proper support from
IBM and also the GUI of the product not user friendly.
My personal point of view regarding the one in all network management
solutions like IBM Tivoli or HP OpenView is not in favor for these products.

Why to Spend thousands of dolloars for really nothing.

Thanks
