We are using EBA/DPA We had a custom report running on EBA that didn't work on DPA, so we are trying to get that worked out before we upgrade. (DPA is being run in a test environment)
We've tested Aptare and Servergraph as well, and EMC's product fits our particular environment better than the others. The main thing we do that the others have trouble with is that we have multiple nodes per server and the others didn't handle this in the way that I wanted it. They just handle them differently, not better or worse. You should evaluate this for yourself. My main problem with DPA is that there doesn't seem to be any advanced documentation or training if you wanted to do anything above basic reporting customization. The Professional Services is the only way to do any advanced customization. You could muddle around and figure out quite a bit by yourself, but I wish there was some good documentation. If you do purchase this, make sure and include a few days of PS and have a list of the custom reports you want.
