I agree with you WUG is not my choice. I prefer SNNPC myself for a
good low priced solution. WUG is horrible when dealing with snmp traps
and mibs. if Ipswitch were to include the traps and mibs the SNMPC
did, I might have more respect for the product. SNMPC has around 300+
equipment manufactures mibs/traps already compiled into the product.

You would be shocked to find how many multi-million dollar corps are
using WUG as their primary tool.

At $995.00 it beats the hell out of:

1. No monitoring solution at all
2. $15K-$50k for Openview etc

SNMPc has almost the same price as WUG, right? So why not switch to SNMPc?
