The whole management and troubleshooting area is lacking, yes.

OPCOM, ANALYZE /AUDIT, and ACCOUNTING were all outdated by Y2K, and 
have only sunk further behind.

Some of the DECclassic monitoring and troubleshooting tools were 
cancelled, some were sold off, some are still available as add-ons from 
VSI, some are rebuilt as SDA extensions, RMI was added, etc.

The scale of work VSI has ahead is unfathomable, and the trade-offs myriad.
