Comparing OSS NMS criteria first cut

As a follow up to the Comparing OSS NMS meta post, the following hierarchy represents the criteria I’ve researched so far. I’ve concentrated upon the non-functional areas first because I can finalise that quite quickly. I will, as a first pass, and assuming that no major additions need adding to it, create the first comparison based solely upon the non-functional criteria.

If there is anything missing, that does not relate to the functionality, please leave a comment. The first set of projects to be compared will be: OpenNMS, Nagios, Zenoss, Groundwork & Hyperic.
