Open Source Bake-offs, and Trade-offs

NetworkWorld’s Barry Nance just posted his bakeoff of open source management tools. This test focused on the open source products available from 3 vendors, Hyperic, Zenoss and Groundwork. The test was based on functionality alone, and did not consider other specialized topics such as scalability, setup or any special management of specific technologies. In Barry’s words:

We tested each product’s ability to discover, manage, administer, monitor, report on, diagnose, troubleshoot, reset, reconfigure and secure our network devices, applications, servers and clients.
