Network management systems are not much different than cell phones, digital cameras, and video cameras. Many of these devices are overkill on features that only a very small fraction of buyers use. When was the last time you used all those advanced features on your digital camera?
Network management is no different. Needlelessly complex, hard to install, over-featured, and non intuitive network management systems are the rule in our industry. The net result is a costly implementation of shelfware that collects dust and rarely gets use.
Recently, fed up with video cameras, my wife purchased the Flip from Pure Technologies. All it does is record (saves up to an hour), and zoom in and out. It’s the size of a small digital camera. It has a USB device onboard, so you just connect the bugger to your computer and your memories are saved instantly. So simple, none of the extra features that 95% of us don’t use, and priced right.
PacketTrap takes guidance from these laws of simplicity. Check out Perspective when it comes available soon, I think you’ll get the picture (err, no pun intended).
