RE: Tools cure IP address-management headaches

0

I’m surprised that the emphasis of the test was on importing data (40% of the score), which is performed once with each vendor’s assistance. The real management challenge occurs after the data import, when administrators are left to perform the day-to-day tasks of managing subnets, IP address assignments and DHCP and DNS server configurations. This was not really discussed in the review. It wasn’t clear what the “feature” category entailed. How about testing what’s really challenging IP administrators like IP address auditing, reporting, discovery, reclaim, monitoring, and administrator control granularity? Security upgrades are also important and all vendors perform it nearly similarly, though this wasn’t clear from the report.
