Organization	IETF	ISO/ITU
Supporting operations	SNMP,only supports 5 operations.	CMIP consists of 11 operations.
Security	SNMP uses a community name, which is not even encrypted, SNMP uses polling.	CMIP is used for its security, as it supports authorization, access control, and security logs, CMIP uses reporting.
Access	In terms of data access, SNMP retrieves individual items of information also SNMP is more focused.	CMIP retrieves a collection of information, CMIP deals with classes of data that must be constrained.
Uses	SNMP,used in Local Area Networks (LANs), SNMP is widely used because of its,simplicity.	CMIP used in Wide Area Networks (WANs)
