The three tools listed do different things with some similarities. For us the biggest need was data analysis, semi-automatic troubleshooting, and data gathering and topology mapping. TotalView hit the most of these in the price point we were looking for. Each tool has "extras," …

TotalView can either completely replace most of these products today, has a limited ability to replace these products today, or has a planned feature add in an upcoming version that will allow us to replace the product in the near future -- all at a much lower cost.

It is great for monitoring internet connections.
The agent installed on Windows works efficiently and takes up little resources. The method of settling costs is not very clear.
There should also be a table with the current list of costs visible.

TotalView is well suited for an infrastructure where you are looking for a cost-effective, additive network management tool for in-depth device diagnostic information. This will not be a one-stop shop application, but it does what is advertised very well. SNMP is required for configuration and adding additional devices is quick and simple. This product also works well with Shoretel VoIP systems and allows for a full overview of connected phones along with being able to view calls on an extension/IP basis.

The three tools listed do different things with some similarities. For us the biggest need was data analysis, semi-automatic troubleshooting, and data gathering and topology mapping. TotalView hit the most of these in the price point we were looking for. Each tool has "extras," but we felt that the extras provided by TotalView were good enough and that the other tools didn't justify the cost.

  • Faster turnaround on network troubleshooting frees up Administrator time for other efforts.
  • Significant cost saving is going to allow us to free us some budget, especially after replacing other tools.
