"NTI's E-MICROs were selected to allow flexibility in monitoring and reporting on our core telecommunications sites. There were a few software issues with the original firmware, but they were addressed in a timely manner and did not cause long downtimes in monitoring.
The thing we like best is the ability to integrate with multiple methods of monitoring. We use Spectrum (by CA) to do SNMP polling with custom watches. Spectrum is not the greatest at integrating with the NTI MIB files provided. (This is not an issue for NTI to solve, as CA is the issue.) So when we were looking for devices that could meet our requirements for monitoring and notification, I was the technician tasked with equations.
I tested two other manufactures and looked at what was the best fit for our environment. Ultimately two main factors made me choose the E-MICRO-TRHP:
1. Customer service – in purchasing and technical support. NTI has been attentive and responsive to our needs.
2. Cost. NTI seems to have found the sweet in unit cost and value.
I personally would encourage anyone looking for value and functionality to look at any of the NTI products. Coupled with the good customer service, it makes the selection of NTI an easy choice.
