Cisco Works for Windows is basically Whats Up Gold with Cisco View. It's pretty much a waste of money if you ask me. It's not very reliable and your Log viewer refreshes periodically erasing your entire screen for a couple of seconds. There is no way to highlight an event so you can see which events come in are new. It's a little hard to explain, but it's very annoying and hard to manage. It's nothing like HP Openview. I only use it on my laptop so I can quickly setup Syslog and SNMP traps at customers sites. I would never recommend it to use on a regular basis.
I don't believe there is an eval copy, but your local reseller should be able to hook you up with a demo at their office. But, if you want to see 99% of what it will do, download an eval copy of What's Up Gold from www.ipswitch.com Getting a copy of CiscoWorks for Solaris is not possible unless your organization does a LARGE amount of business with Cisco or if your reseller does you a favor.
