Can VNQM replace Avaya One-View for managing Security Vulerabilities and versions, patch levels, circuit ID's, locations, etc.?

Question

I've a short-notice opportunity to demo Orion to our Telecom Team, who is posed to buy One-View.  Can VNQM manage all Avaya phone switches & management needs?

Can it also manage Siemens phone switches?

Thanks.  I've got the NFR license for MVP status, so the license isn't an issue.

Hey Rick,

Here's what is officially supported by VNQM (taken from this link):

VNQM 4.1 and 4.2 support the following devices:

* Cisco Call Managers from version 6 up to version 10
* Devices with IOS from version 12.X to version 15.X

VNQM 4.2 also supports:

* Avaya Communication and Media Servers: S87xx, S88xx, and S83xx

If you're running the relevant versions of Avaya CMS, you should be golden. It doesn't look like it'll help with the Siemens kit, however

My advice would be to spin up a 30 day trial, and see what you can get out of it. While you are on the clock here, you'll need to give it time to grab some data before you can show anything of note to your Telecom team.
