Juniper Flex Licensing vs. OpenText Network Node Manager i (NNMi)

Whether Juniper Flex Licensing is suited or not well totally depends on how network is consumed. I believe it is well suited for Data Centres, service providers, and security. As with Juniper Flex Licensing, you can right size the investments according to the needs of the company. I dont think it is suited for SME's.
