We use it for all our district infrastructure for campus switch networks. It takes care of our alarms, script change updates, reports and changes etc.

Pros and Cons

Alarm notification
Reporting and inventory
Easy GUI and very good with compatibility with other switched network
Easy management interface and maps

More Cisco switch support such as nexus
SNMP walker tool needs a little improvement
Fresh look for the Gui

It is suited best for large enterprise networks, or where you will need visibility for down up scenarios. Topology maps that are needed are well suited for large WAN environments.
