Both HP Opsware and NetBrain have strong features at configure management. Howerver, the two tools are different, let us take a quick view here.

Firstly, we know that Opsware is a configuration management solution from HP. The key components of Opsware include NAS for network and SAS for server.

NetBrain is an innovative network management solution provider and NetBrain’s configuration management feature is built-in with NetBrain Enterprise server which is in support of automated network documentation and visual troubleshooting. It means that with NetBrain, you don’t need additional cost.

Secondly, Opsware can manage and maintain network configuration file history and has change management and scheduling capability at the same time.

NetBrain configuration Management Solution also enables engineers to manage and maintain configuration file history; moreover, NetBrain enables network engineers to manage routing table history. It means that NetBrain can integrate with existing Opsware installation in large enterprises; for organization that doesn’t have a configuration management solution, NetBrain remove the need of a separate tool.

In a word, Opsware is comprehensive configuration management solution supporting both network and system. At the same time, Opsware is relatively expensive and lacking solid discovery feature. However, NetBrain manages both configuration files and routing table. With the map-driven interface, NetBrain can be used easily in real-time. Moreover, NetBrain has strong network discovery capability which makes NetBrain to be a perfect tool for network merge at M&A.
