Hey Hey
What's all this CA bashing around here ? Everybody's complaining 'bout how crappy all CA software is. Of course critics have a point when they say Unicenter needs a lot of fine-tuning. But there's only one big point to be made. CA sells Unicenter as an "out-of-the-box" solution, which it isn't. The power of Unicenter lies in all you can do with it, but it takes a lot of time, a lot of configuration and a whole lot of fine-tuning before you can fully benefit from Unicenter.
Unicenter can be a very powerful tool if you use it right and take the time and effort needed to build those things you'll want and need to fully administer your network.
It seems to me that most of the CA-bashers here haven't taken that time and effort and therefore do not realize the full power of these tools.
Wouldn't it be just great to really be able to concentrate on real network management instead of just running around from fire to fire after users complaints. Well, with a proper implementation of Unicenter and the right choice of Unicenter options this can be achieved, but you'll have to change your "way of thinking". That is, react before problems arise instead of after end-users nag you 'cause they can't do this or that.
And no, I'm not working at CA
