You didn't really mention size of vendors or status as a company. Here is my perspective: Solidcore, is just a startup, focus is mostly on security, few customers. Most of their business seems to be locking down ATM machines and cash registers. (They claim Opsware resells them, but the rep we spoke with didn't seem to know anything about them). Tripwire has been a compliance vendor and is now doing well in IT Operations, claims about 6,000 customers. They also have configuration assesment and can manage both infrastructure and applications which seems pretty cool. (BMC resells them). Ecora has a lot of smb customers and just does reporting on config settings. Hope that adds some colour. - Bob Great piece with excellent analysis – I enjoyed reading it.
