I have followed the development of InterMapper for over four years now and it has always satisfied me. It's a great application made by dedicated people. They usually hear the suggestions of their clients and try to implement the less frivolous ones (I am still waiting for a 3D interface a la "Tin Space"..:). The product is and will always be one of my favorites and has helped me many times justify the purchase of macs against PCs. I also see a lot of the "There are free tools in Unix that do this, this is commercial garbage" and I must say it's a saddening attitude. This is a program that non-techies can use within two minutes. This is a program and allows experts to troubleshoot and monitor huge networks graphically. Heck, it even allows them to make maps for their bosses to understand the topology of the net. Strictly speaking one could duplicate 90% of the funcionality of Intermapper with a bunch of shell scripts and ping, but that doesn't mean IM is not worth its price. I couple InterMapper with Big Brother and MRTG in unix and it's perfect. I would fix a few things, tho'. I would make Intermapper remote part of the main application, served through the web server, I would enable access to the log files either through an ftp server or directly through the web server and/or a better way to manage stats and be able to export them (like listings of machines with selectable fields for exporting), etc... And why not, I'll keep asking for my 3D interface to feel like Max Headroom..:-)
