I think the real question is why you should buy APM instead of MOM. Some of the advantages of APM are:

No agents required on the monitored boxes
Integrates with Orion NPM and the other modules
More linux/unix friendly
Much easier to install, deploy, maintain, and use

actually mom are already existing on their servers. we are implementing the npm to all the cisco devices and we are trying to position APM inplace of their mom.

thanks

I'm in the same boat. I'm looking for a comparison. We are a SCOM 2007 shop and currently utilizing NPM on the Networking side of the house. We've got some licensing for APM, but not enough to monitor our whole environment (4 CAS servers, 4 MB servers). Does anyone have a side by side comparison or report breaking down the commonalities/differences? Sure, I can pull down the admin guides for each, but wasn't looking to reinvent the wheel.

I would recommend contacting your SolarWinds sales rep. They speak with customers in similar situations to the one you're in on a daily basis. I'm sure they would be able to assist you.
