The only advantage to NTM is that if you are limited in licenses in Orion, you might not be able to map everything, because Orion maps needs the nodes and components added to map it. NTM doesn't care about that, and you get it scopes and credentials and it goes and does its thing.

Orion Maps can do a ton, and if you have multiple Orion products all the 'stuff" is available. If there is a missing feature (none pop out at me) from NTM its will likely get added as the capabilities of Orion Maps grows with each release.

Orion maps is still manual isn't it? I mean you can not just put in a range and have it automagically scan and discover the network and have it rescan every so often correct? or am i missing something?
