Pros
An event-correlation and deduplication engine, used to cut down on the management events that traditional NMS platforms tend to generate by showing the end user only what she needs to know to fix network problems. It is designed to receive events from NMSs such as OpenView or NerveCenter, but it can receive events from almost any kind of management source. Micromuse sells probes that can interface with everything from popular NMS platforms to telephone switch equipment.
Cons
Requires a bit of initial setup (but after that it’s easy to use and maintain).
