Platforms

Solaris, HP-UX, AIX, Windows NT for some

Pros

This suite allows you to do everything from version control on your configuration files to latency graphs and detailed pictures of the backs of your devices. If you have a Cisco shop, stop everything and get this package!

Cons

The maps are a bit hokey. Doesn’t produce a very friendly snapshot of your network, and has a hard time returning configurations to the devices. Would be nice if it could restore as easily as it backs up.
