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.
