Jason,
We are a big user of Aptare at our shop. It has been a fantastic product and one of the only software tools I have found that we were really able to use "out of the box". It has already helped us be able to add features, solve issues, and sell our management on new products in the 9 months since we have been using. I have found that Aptare is also very willing to listen to customer input to new feature sets. When we were looking for a monitoring tool for our backup environment, I went to several newsgroups and Aptare seemed to be what everyone was talking about. Now I know why. One demo of their product and we were hooked. Good luck with your purchase.

Aptare has an agent that sits on each
NetBackup master server. It receives input whenever a job completes and
immediately updates the Aptare database. For running jobs it runs a
bpdbjobs command on a regular basis (This is tunable). I believe we have
ours set to every 5 minutes. So although it is not exactly real time, you
can get it as close to real time as you want. There are several other
tunable processes that pull other information such as drive/disk STU stats, tape
volume information and job image catalog information.
It's a great
product and really easy to use out of the box. If you want more
information email me direct. I would be willing to talk or email about any
other questions you have. [EMAIL PROTECTED]

We're looking at possibly purchasing Aptare and are wondering if
anybody has used it before. It supposedly pulls data "real-time" from the
environment, and I'm curious as to how it accomplishes this.

Currently
we have Bocada (http://www.bocada.com/index.php), a
base install and haven't really started going into it and actually customizing
the application to suit our needs.
Any input on Aptare would be
appreciated.
Thanks!
Jason
