    Again, the main piece was config backups. That is a real big deal, when you are dealing with a lot of customers that don't have a change management process. So changes can be done to a networking device and we need to be able to review what it was one day and what it changed to …

    I would have said 10 if they didn't kill the product. I know Blue Folder took a piece of this, but we never got into it and just changed to Auvik and PRTG.

    Cons
    Discontinued Products
    • Come back! After Dell purchased this, they ended support for it. In my experience, it was one of the better tools.
    • Integration with other systems, but again, it is EOL, so doesn't matter.
    • MiB library needs a refresh, but again, EOL.

    Again, the main piece was config backups. That is a real big deal, when you are dealing with a lot of customers that don't have a change management process. So changes can be done to a networking device and we need to be able to review what it was one day and what it changed to the next. This happens a lot with internal IT departments, that break something and you support them as an MSP.
