I'd also be very interested in what's out there. I have similar =
grievances with InterMapper, but at this point, it sucks far less than =
anything else I've tried.
I just poked around NetBrain's site and am immediately deterred by it's =
reliance on a Windows backend, so that's out for me. I did use OpenNMS =
for a while before switching to InterMapper, but ONMS's =
discovery/mapping was very broken at the time, it was a PITA to set up =
and manage and I don't know if it's gotten much getter in the last =
couple of years since.
I've tried things like ManageEngine, but it's far too bloated and =
complex for what I need.
