Hello,

I am looking at the various options available for network performance management software, some of the solutions I've found so far are:

Proprietary: HP - ProCurve
Universal: SolarWinds - Orion
Open Source: OpenNMS

I am trying to discover the benefits of each package over the other and reasons as to why you would go for one (Such as size of the network, overall cost etc..).

I'm curious as to which ones other people use and why? Each customer has their own needs and requirements and it would be great to hear some of yours.

Thank you for your time.
