Intermapper vs NetBrain vs some other for NMS

[jason at lixfeld.ca (Jason Lixfeld)]

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.
