Question : Orion Vs Ciscoworks adn HPopenview

I have been working with the evaluation version of solrwinds ORION. I have no prior expereince with hpopenview and ciscoworks. I need to justify to my mangement that we can save some money by buying orion rather than any of the other 2. Please let me know what is that hpopenview or cisco works has or can do that orion cant.  I have the eavl version of hpopenview and ciscoworks (which is giving me some installation errors) but I dont have the time to explore all 3 of tehm at the same time.

Check the JRE version in Control Panel Add/Remove Programs and/or IE, tools, Internet Options, General Tab, Temp Internet files, Settings button, View Objects button. Look for Java Runtime Environment 1.3.1
If it shows Installed, then you're good to go
If it shows Damaged, then first go into Control Panel add/remove and remove JRE, then go back to IE and remove it from the downloaded program files.
Go to http://java.sun.com and get JRE 1.3.1 for Windows
Install it
Then open IE, Internet Options, Advanced tab, scroll down and check all three java boxes under Microsoft VM
