- bongodongobob 2y agoI think these tools are generally more for alerting and the visualization is just a nice to have feature. At least that's how I've always used them.
- mypalmike 2y agoNMS systems are useful for monitoring large networks where something is likely to fail due to sheer quantity of devices/interfaces. Visualization is secondary to state capture and alerting.
