Subject: openNMS vs OpenView

Hello all,

Though this question has been probably addressed, answered by several, I would like to discuss this further. Can anyone please let me know if there has been a comprehensive technical analysis of openNMS vs OpenView ? If yes, can you please send it to me or point me to source. Though I have read at multiple places that openNMS is primarily competing at replacing NNM I am curious to know the current technical abilities when compared to NNM (and probably OVO, OV PI )

I have used NNM myself, and have found the Event Correlation feature (apart from other features of course) pretty useful - there are lots of pre-configured correlators that are shipped with the product. And its also easy to create custom correlation if required. So, how does openNMS fare in this area? And there are SPIs for NNM such as MPLS, RAMS. How does openNMS address a feature similar to Customer Views in NNM ?

And what's the current capability of openNMS in terms of monitoring telco networks - receive alarms, performance data from telco equipments on various interfaces like CMIP, ASCII, CORBA, etc ?

I really appreciate if someone can point me to such a comparison if available.

Thanks,
Rajeev
