When I switched from BB to Hobbit to monitor a few tool servers, the CPU usage on the monitoring server dropped significantly for the same workload. But for my money, one of the biggest wins in Hobbit is the integration of RRD graphics throughout, and the ease of which you can add your own tests with their own trend graphs. Unless BB has played a thorough game of catch-up, your management is planning to pay more to get less, just so they can hold some vendor "accountable".
Just my own opinion, of course -- I speak for no one else.

I currently use hobbit and devmon and love them both...
But the management I work for doesnt like the idea of opensource monitoring everything, they dont understand. So they are pushing me towards BB4 instead... I have never used BB4 and dont want to...
I heard they are both the same...
So I figured I would ask my fellow users, why is hobbit better??? I need to make a god argument for this...
thanks, michael
