Hi guys
I have a client that dislikes open source software. They feel it's "out of control", there's no support, and no backup. They prefer something where they can get "professional" support, and licensed software and all the crap we have all heard before. Somebody at the top, decided that SolarWinds is the corporate standard.
From what I have read, it's SNMP based, so great for network, and stuff running SNMP, but not so good for anything else.
Has anybody had any hands-on experience with both Solarwinds and Xymon, who can give me a short breakdown of the advantages and disadvantages of Solarwinds compared to Xymon?
Regards Vernon
