The main advantages to NFR are it's speed and adaptability.  A
disadvantage may be it's adaptability.  =)  You will need someone on staff
with some programming skills to build the custom scripts you may want to
add to the existing NFR package.

        There are people here who can answer this with specific
recommendations if Saso feels comfortable offering more information about
his environment, but it is my impression is that the vast majority of NFR
customers buy through a consultant/reseller who develops, remarkets, and
applies the appropriate scripts.  

        In that case, you probably will not need local on-site talent with
these capabilities. Check with the NFR resellers in your area, or those
which specialize in your industry or network architecture.

        Suerte,
