Network.IT - The Engineer's Toolset is not meant to be a full scale Enterprise class NMS (like our Orion product), so we are able to use an MS-Jet back end to keep engineering costs down, which then allows us to offer it at a great price.
The Toolset is meant to be a Network Engineer's swiss army knife; a large collection of real-time monitoring, discovery, and troubleshooting tools and utilities. The monitoring in the Toolset is often good enough for small shops to use as a lightweight NMS, but it will never have all the features of a true enterprise class NMS.
Thanks,
Greg
