Hi, I’m in charge of upgrading our current network administration techniques. Which do you think is better – software-based network management tools or an appliance?

an appliance because they cant go wrong, well they can, but they cant just die like software, there has to be a solid reason.

Thanks ROB!
I just saw this commercial on youtube ( youtube.com/watch?v=odyG0F8UM1A] ) and that's totally me! I’m tired of being the one that gets yelled at when the system is down!

Welcome to CompuForums, jimmy-sol. I hope you can post often and add yourself to our member map.
I agree with going for an appliance - they're generally more reliable and are much more adapted to the task they need to do.

rolmfao, that advert is so funny, being an admin really is a bad job, everyone wants everything right when you have a problem, and then it all goes wrong, and everyone wants to problem to go away! :S nuts.
