Robert, thanks for injecting a bit of sanity to this discussion. I have to concur and say that any product is "bad" if you don't know what you are doing. If you don't know what you are doing with SNMP and leave all the defaults, you shouldn't be administering a network.
If you are willing to spend the time and effort to get it right, you will end up with something much larger.

I'm going to have to put on my enterprise management specialist hat here for a minute and make some comments. Most of the bad rap SNMP has comes from engineers that don't understand it, what is, how to configure it, what network and systems management is, etc. --snip
