Micromuse Netcool/OmniBus

Widely adopted, Micromuse's Netcool/Omnibus is known for its speedy event processing, distributed event filters, and an in-memory database that scales very well. It had a midrange price in our single-site scenario and the lowest price in our large-scale scenario; however, it's more difficult to use than most of the competition.

Netcool has always provided very fine control over the way in which events are viewed. A graphical Boolean filter wizard combined with savable sorting tools lets you quickly build event views for every user, hardcore administrator and business owner alike.
