Network Management Tool 50-100 nodes

rasoftware · ‎09-19-2008

I'm looking for a recommendation on a Cisco tools to manage my growing network. We have a variety of 800s, 1800, 1600s, PIX 6.3 and ASA5505/10 for around 50 nodes currently but ever expanding.

I would mainly like to be able to manage them centrally, perform updates and backup configs centrally - without having to connect to each separately as this is becoming very time consuming.

I have heard maybe CiscoWorks might too the job (if this is still a product) or something more basic and low cost would be ideal.

Thanks

We use Solarwinds NCM. Works great and well priced.

Hope that helps.

If you would like a product that configuration intensive and does not operate as advertised. CWNCM is for you. OPSWARE (HP) is supporting (NOT) for Cisco.
