We have a group actually evaluating both Spectrum and HP OpenView.  
I'll be very interested in how you come down to these two vendors. 

Other vendors we have tested are SunNet manager and  DECmcc MSU.

You may check the Datapro documents for a list of NMS and SNMP agents. 

Hope it helps.

Hello,

I have some questions about SNMP packages:

(1) HP OpenView vs. Cabletron Spectrum - has anyone used either one and what
    are your opinions about them? Any problems with either product? 
    I'm trying to determine which package to buy.

(1a) Is there any product, such as the above, which handles application
     management?

(2) Does anyone know whether the following devices already do, or will 
    support SNMP?

    Stratacom IPX Switches 	(I believe they plan to)
    Telematics X.25 Nodes
    Octocom Modems
    PCI Pads and Protocol Converters
    Codex Modems
    Memotec Data Compressors
    rOUTAROUNDS
    AT&T WideBand Circuits
    MCI WideBand Circuits
    Telco Services

(3) What ever became of CMOT? Do any agents speak that protocol?


					Thanks,
