copmparison question

[Calvin Crutchfield]

Hello all.

This is my first post and I need your help. I realize of course this is a
nagios group, and since I want to go with nagios I wanted your slant on
things.

I need to install some monitoring software.  It is all Solaris and
apporximately 400 hosts.

Simple things first first.  Host Status, then maybe moving to  cpu, disk
space things of that nature.

I have read the docs and understand some time needs to be invested before I
am up and running and I have significant experience with monitoring using
Tivoli, PERL and SiteScope mostly

My question is, what will nagios do for me and what will it not.  I have to
prepare a talking paper comparing...

Nagios
Big Brother (sister too??)
SiteScope
Custom PERL  (Don't want to reinvent the wheel)
Any others???

Thanks for your help...
