SNMP Research EnterPol was ommitted from the list of available NMS
packages.

Platforms: Solaris, Windows NT/2000, Linux

Pros: This product can autodiscover network devices, find
SNMP agents and managers, determine if SNMP agents can
communicate via SNMPv1, SNMPv2c, or SNMPv3, and identify
important MIBs supports in the agents. An important
feature of this product is its ability to distribute
SNMPv3 configuration data, including users, passwords,
views, and access control settings, to both SNMPv3
agents and managers.

Another pro of HP OpenView NNM is that all versions starting with 4.1
can support SNMPv3 through the use of SNMP Research's SNMP Security Pack.

at bottom in Aprisma section

Another pro of Aprisma is that it now supports SNMPv3. To obtain the
SNMPv3 module, the license holder must contact Aprimsa support and
request the SNMPv3 service upgrade.
