My manager wants to know why we should upgrade from 2.6 to 3.0?

He also wants us to try Solarwinds.

Any experience anyone has would be most helpful?

Well, if you're considering going to LMS 3.0, you should consider 3.1 instead. The cost will be the same. Some of the major new features include:

* New CiscoWorks Portal which allows for homepage customizations, and dashboard setups.

* New configuration wizard to help with server setup and troubleshooting.

* Dynamic User Tracking shows when users log in and out of the network in near real-time.

* SNMPv3 authPriv is supported.

* Reports can be attached in emails.

* No more Java Plug-in (Campus Manager still requires Java Web Start on the clients).

* RME now scales to 10,000 devices, and other apps to 5,000.

* Jobs can be scheduled, and properly operate on dynamic groups.

* The baseline compliance workflow has been enhanced.

* Support has been added for non-CDP based discovery algorithms.

* IPM supports sub-millisecond reporting.

* Device Center can aggregate data from multiple servers.

* Certain Campus Manager discrepancies and best practice deviations can be fixed from within the Campus Manager UI using Cisco recommendations.

* Support is added for external TFTP servers for SWIM jobs.

This just names a few of the highlights.
